Everyone having a say ๐
I am currently 34 weeks and 3 days pregnant with my first child. I never told anybody I was pregnant until I was nearly 5 months (not such a good idea, i know)
Throughout my entire pregnancy I done basically everything the same as before I was pregnant. I exercised the same, I ate what I would normally eat and I never had any problems. Every appointment was perfect. I am growing a perfectly healthy human being.
However, now that I am getting closer towards my due date, its like every family member has been telling me what to do... telling me to go eat even when I'm not hungry, telling me to stop exercising because and I quote "the baby will have problems", telling me I should have waited for the birth to find out that sex of my child. It's getting ridiculous. I'm 20 years old and they still think I need to have my hand held for everything.
This is my child and I have everyone on my back basically telling me how to handle my pregnancy. I can't experience for myself it without everyone throwing in their 2 cents. I know they are my family and they do mean well. I am thankful that they are just trying to help but now it's getting to the point where I'm sick of repeating the same things to them. "ill stop if the doctor tells me to stop". I don't see the point in stopping my daily activities if there is no reason to
I will not stop living the way I did because I've got a human growing inside of me. I will carry them through it all.
Has anyone else had this problem ?
