How Far Along? 17.5 weeks
Basically I feel the same as last week except ICE CREAM cravings have kicked in big time!
So being pregnant you are subjected to everyone's opinions,
comments and advice. Which mostly come with out you asking them or wanting
them. Trying to listen politely and nod to everyone's thoughts really leaves
you in a tail spin. With the "you should be doing this and you shouldn't
be doing that. Or I dont think that is allowed did you talk to your
doctor???"
Now I know that most of these people really do mean well, but
honestly the last thing a pregnant woman needs to hear is everyone's take on
her body/baby or what she is or isn't doing and it really is unwanted. It is
enough that you already feel over sensitive and then having to hear someone
else saying that you could be doing something to harm the baby, even it it is
said in a nice or inadvertent way really is not helpful. I am already
worried 24/7 about am I doing the right things or should I stop doing
certain things. But, if I ever did question something that was big I already
spoke to my doctor about it. Also, there seems to be certain hot button topics
that trigger me and from other prego women I have spoken with do the same for
them. Certain subject just are off topic and if you nicely say can we please
drop it or not talk about it, then dont bring it up again. Yep this happens to
me time and time again.
Bottom line I have come to realize at least for me when it comes
to comments and advice unless she asks you just keep mum on the
situation. Just my thoughts.
