Worst Pregnacy Advice or Insight?
People say the damndest things. For example, my boss (who knows I'm pregnant) looked at my stomach yesterday morning and proceeded to respond to my inquiry about his weekend. "You know, the thing about having babies, is that you can never truly separate or divorce the other parent... no matter what you can never get rid of them. After the baby comes, the gloves come off." Of course, my response was to nod and smile. "Oh, okay." What have people said to you?
Oh my gosh, you poor moms! Thank you for sharing!
When I told my older sister her advice was that I need to keep my legs closed and to get my tubes tied after I have this baby because its #4 and that just to many kids in her eyes. I just LOL and told her i wasnt getting my tubes tied and plus she has 3 kids and would have had a 4th if her husband didnt get fixed.
Im married and me and my husband take care of our kids so I feel I can have as many as I want and as many as I can care for.

A co-worker of mine told me that I needed God in my life because the baby will want to have a relationship with him too. I couldn't believe it. First, my husband and I have faith and we practice that in our own way, even when our conservative family members disagree. And nobody knows what this baby wants and even then I don't think it is going to care about God for awhile... I was so shocked and now every time he sees me in the office he starts asking what we've lined up for a church to attend and gives me recommendations for places to go and other people to talk to. Ugh!
I had a close friend... or what i thought was my close friend tell my family the day after i told her, and she posted it on my fb page before anyone else actually knew anything. Including the fathers parents, who are on my friends list.. she also went on and on about how i need to pull my head out of my *** and get back to reality. That its not the same as babysitting a baby, that its hard work and nobody is going to want to hang out n that life isnt about me anymore..
I havnt lived my life for me in a long time. Lol i wanted to kill her and felt like, how dare her say these things to me. But, life is better without those people who just want to put you down and make you out to be incompetent because you arent at the same place in your life that they are.. screw them. And carry on. Thats what i say.

I'm over the whole "your life will never be the same.."
om, I know. I made the conscious decision to get pregnant. I knew what I was doing..
my body may be different, I'll carry a diaper bag instead of a purse, I'll eat after my baby eats, I'll sleep once he's asleep, etc.
people annoy me, and I KINDLY & FIRMLY dismiss their "advice" every single time.. I was snappy before pregnancy, people don't want to test me now!! lol ((((:

Our grocery stores have an "expectant mother" parking spot. Being 39 weeks pregnant, exhausted, hormonal and just done...I parked in one. I had two other kids with me. I definitely looked pregnant (my son was well over 8lbs) but these people walking by me on thier way out made the comment "ah, fatties always park in the pregnant woman spot, lazy ***! " .....I was scheduled for a c-section in two days. I was LIVID.
Lmao wow. .
I had went to a buffet and I'm already huge as is at 33 wks but some random lady comes up to me and says "I saw you when you walked in and thought to my self I hope she doesn't eat to much or she's gonna pop" I had no clue what to say so I just threw out "yeah I already feel like I'm about to burst so you better watch out" and she smiles rubs my belly and leaves. Like you already insult me and apparently watch me then you have the audacity to touch me ufgh ppl-_-
