Mommy share and scare 😡

Lindsay

Ok I am 6 months along with our first baby and my husband and I are ecstatic! I feel good, I’m able to work out, the baby is healthy - everything is going well.

WHY IN THE HELL do other moms feel the need to try and scare the shit out of me?! Some phrases I am really tired of:

“Oh Just you wait”

“Sleep now while you can!”

“You think THAT hurts, jut wait till labor!”

Ect.

I am already hormonal and emotional. I know that or lives are going to change significantly. I know there will be sleepless nights, tantrums, emotional outbursts and scary arguments. I am already TERRIFIED of labor and what my body will go through.

WHY DO YOU FEEL THE NEED TO MAKE ME FEEL EVEN WORSE??

Is there some sick joy you get out of trying to make new moms scared and upset??

How about saying “no worries, you will get through it and have a gorgeous baby for all your effort!”

Or

“Labor IS scary but it ends and you will be amazed at what your body can do.”

Or

“Those sleepless nights are all worth it when your child looks at you and says they love you”

Please stop mommy share and scare. I’m begging you!
