FTM know it ALL....

Ok I understand with your first baby you read ALL the pregnancy books, take birthing classes, join all the mommy forums, and pretty much everything you can to prepare for the birth of your child & be the best mommy possible. That's GREAT.. but OMG!!!!! there is this girl on my Facebook who drives me insane, not crazy... insane lol. She's like 5 months pregnant & its her first. EVERYTHING I post on fb she has to comment trying to give me advice on my pregnancy.  Im 36 weeks with my THIRD lol thank you but I've got this.  Like if I post "good morning FB" she comments "don't forget your vitamins, & kick count today" or if I say my back is hurting she HAS to tell me that I could be having back labor & to call my doctor immediately. Lol at first i thought it was kinda funny but now she absolutely aggravates me to death. She feels she knows it ALL because she has read What to expect when expecting.  Hate to tell her but she isn't going to know anything about being a mom until she actually HAS her child. The girl has no siblings & has never even babysitted before lol sorry I just had to get that out.  Rather I tell u guys then hurt her fellings.

Lol that's nothing compared to the FTM that come in to the hospital telling us not only are they in supposed labor and clearly not but how they saw something on TV and think everything is supposed to be like that. OMG so frustrating sometimes!

Lol. This girl is just sooooo EXTRA!! She says she's high risk because she was super over weight to begin with & says her doctor doesn't want her to gain much weight but I swear every single thing she post is about food. Taco bell & McDonald's lol & she said she's already gained close to 40lbs at 5months. Hmmmm, wonder what's causing that?  Lol but she's the FIRST one to comment telling me to only eat one or two donuts because They are loaded in sugar... I've gained 4lbs?? Ugh that girl... haha

I think everyone is just trying to be supportive & helpful.  She probably doesn't even realize that Its overwhelming. I'm a third time mom also, & I try to answer the posts I have the experience and/or knowledge on.  Hope I'm not overwhelming! Lol

Have a same friend on my Facebook. She does the same thing and then I found out she was giving her 4 month old mashed potatoes and I commented "mashed potatoes have no nutritional value... I don't think your pediatrician would like that" and not only her but her mom and her sister basically told me that I have my own child to raise and she will raise her child the way she wants... I'm a year older then her and I'm on my second baby.....
