Annoyed

Its definitely valid to protect your peace and not talk with people for a while who are adding to your stress. People forget how stressful pregnancy can be! Even those who experienced it themselves. My mom definitely did that too and just delaying talking with her helped

Everybody has opinions. Especially other moms close to you. Kindly tell them “you’re stressing me out I got this. Otherwise leave me alone.” I had to tell my mom, if you can’t just support me then don’t talk to me at all. She got it together after that.

My family is the same way along with my boyfriend’s family… especially our grandparents 😒 But if someone is adding to your stress, address that direct message. It’s not disrespectful as long as your tone matches your intentions. If they take it as rude, that’s on them. I’m being overly blunt but I promise it’s not the end of the world to distance yourself from a few people if they’re causing stress. Focus on the health of YOU and YOUR baby, you’re allowed to put yourself above everyone else. Especially with a baby on the way. You should be relaxing girl. It’s to protect yourself!
