Opinionated People!
I am getting a lot of unsolicited opinions and advice about my pregnancy, the birth and once the baby is here. How can I deal with this without getting stressed out or annoyed at the people?
I do want to talk about all of these things as it's exciting and the biggest part of my life right now but I'm really struggling with peoples comments. Some have been quite rude and mean and it's taking its toll on my mental health!

Honestly I just say ‘I’ll do what I feel is right with MY baby’ and people usually get the hint that they’re taking it too far or starting to piss me off 😂 x
Thank you both, you're so right! I need to just let their comments wash over me! Just feels like it's constant and coming from all directions and I wish people would keep their noses out x
It doesn't stop once the baby is here 😅 I've got a 9 month old and it's constsnt from my MIL about how I should do this & do that - she rarely sees my son yet has all the answers to questions she's not even asked! I mostly just say ok but if she really annoys me I tell her that her advice is out of date & she also thought it was ok to smoke while pregnant so ill do things my way 😅

Honestly it’s the worst, I feel you there. Initially I was getting annoyed by it but now I’m just taking the ‘fuck off’ stand point and it’s made me feel so much better. ‘I’m saying, that’s great it worked for you but I’m going to try it this way’ unless the midwife say don’t do it then piss off!
