I literally KNEW this was going to happen which is why I waited so long to tell my coworkers. Overheard someone saying “the second the baby comes out it’s hell. Whatever you do to prepare it’s not enough” all the unhelpful comments are annoying me so bad. We still have the rest of our third trimester to be working and being all big. The comments paired with me being more sensitive than usual is a bad combo. Any advice 😭

Just ignore the comments. That’s the only advice I have. Misery loves company and its people projecting their opinions and thought onto other people. Everyone is different and has different experiences. Don’t let it take over your mind. Your experience and how life is after you have your sweet baby will be completely different than theirs.

Screw them! Of course it’s going to be challenging, but that’s what makes it so rewarding and one of the best experiences of your life! Don’t let the negativity get to you love. You’re going to be a great Mama and it’s all going to be so worth it 🥰 keep your head up and stay strong!

Everyone always has a comment or opinion & and people are more inclined to give their worse experiences or comments as their own way to vent. With my 1st baby everyone get me all their horror pregnancy & birth stories saying “just wait till….” or whatever negative comment they had to say. I just put it all aside or ignored it bc everyone one is SO different & my two pregnancies have been a BLESSING compared to the negative ones other people have talked about. My first birth also went so smoothly so I’m going into this second one with the same positive mindset with zero expectations of what could or could not happen before, during, and after!

I will say this is such a false statement. My 16 year old daughter was the colic, busy one. My boy age 2, he is soooo chill. Due August 3rd with another boy, and I cannot wait.

I’ve had people say the most horrific things to me since my pregnancy became visible. I’ve had to get really blunt in my responses but my go to is “unless you have something positive or encouraging to share, I would prefer not to hear unsolicited remarks regarding my pregnancy.“
