I need to rant...
I am so freakin' tired of every woman I encounter telling me to "just wait until (insert horrible pregnancy thing)". I want to punch them all in the face.
One of my co-workers was asking me about if I've felt LO kick yet. I was telling her all about it. Then she goes off on "just wait until he gets so big every kick will hurt" or something of the like. Then another co-worker was saying how cute my little bump looks...then proceeds to say how it won't always be so cute and I'll feel gigantic pretty soon because every woman gets and feels huge and gigantic towards the end.
And these are just the two from today! This happens all the time. I'm so annoyed at this! I'm having a fantastic pregnancy and have been feeling wonderful (now that m/s is gone) and am so tired of people trying to drag that down. Why, when people ask how things are going and you respond that everything is great, do they feel the need to make you miserable or try to get you to worry about the future?
Oh...and I can't tell you how many times after I've mentioned that I want to go natural during labor and delivery that women respond, "Yeah, you say that now. Just wait." This started before I was even pg! Just because they chose not to go through with it doesn't mean they should belittle my decision or think that I can't handle it.
Ugh!
OK...vent over. Thank you. Have some Christmas cookies.

Oh, and just start looking at everyone and saying, "Well I'm sorry you were such a pansy about pregnancy, but mine is going swimmingly, thankyouverymuch."
But note who you said it to and be sure not to complain about anything while they're around.

1)That doesn't help the fact I was tired and struggling with insomnia.
And
2) I actually get MORE sleep now then I did while pregnant. Or at least more comfortable sleep.
Same thing with moms that suddenly have all the answers after they have a baby. You do gain a certain wisdom, and it grows as you go, but I find it hard to believe some of these women no longer have questions or never had some that I have, had or will have in the future. There is a difference between solicited advice and proving that you have it all figured out. Know-it-all moms can GTFO. :-h

I don't know why people feel the need to "warn" people. We all know we are going to get big, uncomfortable and things might not go our way but we have to be constantly reminded. I had an awful time being pregnant but I try to only share that if someone asks specifically because I know every experience is different and I hated the Just waits....
