Sorry I need to vent...

Is anyone else tired of hearing "you're going to feel sore", "you aren't going to want to move", "you aren't going to want people at your house", "you should be doing this instead of that" and so on and so on and so on? I'm not talking about here of course, you girls have been more then helpful throughout this pregnancy. Maybe I'm just hormonal but I'm SO tired of someone telling me how it's going to be or how I'm going to feel. They can tell me how they felt and what their experience was, that makes sense to me. But to tell me that if I go naturally I'm not going to move for days because I'll be sore, when all you've ever had is a c-section makes no sense to me. How would you know how I'm going to feel, you've never experienced that.

I know you don't always go like your mom but I keep praying I do. My mom's longest labor was 4 hours and she said the day after she was a little sore but able to move around.

And don't call me "my dear" because it's just condescending and I am a crazy hormonal pregnant person and you will lose your head!!!

Sorry, two days in a row I've woken up to emails telling me what I should do in the hospital with our son and how I'm going to feel and what I should do when I get home and so on and I just want to ring this person's neck and now they put me in a BAD mood!

Ok vent over...feel free to vent about anything that's been bothering you...we'll make this a venting post! LOL!

Re: Sorry I need to vent...

that stinks! You're allowed to vent here, we're all hormonal lol

I was in home depot with the kitchen designer, and when she found out I was pregnant she just kept telling me that she wasn't able to deliver vaginally because she had narrow hips, and that I have narrow hips so to be careful...that doesn't mean anything to me, my mom had narrow hips and delivered vaginally why are you scaring me!

The best is when someone asks me if I intend to BF. Everyone (even people who have never been pregnant) Oh breastmilk keeps the baby up, oh you're going to have sore nipples, blah blah blah. Let me find out on my own please.

Just because it was one way for you doesn't mean anything to me, we're all different.

Sorry I need to vent...

No two pregnancies are the same so even if you had been PG before there is no telling how you will feel.

I had a c-section and felt amazing and I know I was lucky and it might not happen the 2nd time around.

People love to give opinions and you will hear it all. I just ignored it all and didn't let it get to me.

Re: Sorry I need to vent...

I hear ya! If someone calls me hun or sweetheart or anything like that again I am going to bug out!

As for how you will feel no one knows until it actually happens. Take it a day at a time and ignore these people.

I am now three days over due and I have had enough! I feel like ass and I am using my sick days and my husbands vacations days and we have no new baby! Luckily by son is keeping us busy when he comes home from daycare but I am just so sick of being pregnant and hearing peoples experiences!! Do they really think telling me they were two weeks late will help or 8 days or 11 days!

I just wish people would think about me and how I feel and say something to actually make me feel better! I am going crazy!
