Not even pregnant yet...but getting told what I should and should not do?
So, I get that every woman has their own approach to this. I know I am posting this where I will get ALL different kinds of feedback, which is fine. I just have to get it off my chest.
I literally just got off the pill last month and started taking prenatal vitamins to prep up to begin trying to conceive with my husband. When you start thinking about this, you look up a ton of information and there are so many different opinions out there.
I only told one person besides my husband (obviously). Just one, and maybe I should not have. This person is my closest friend and I usually have my wine nights with her. So I’m on my second day of a very bloody period, and I want some wine...
She tells me that she will not encourage that if I am trying to prep my body and that if i do decide to have a drink then the consequences are on me...
What the heck?! I didn’t respond or anything but it just kind of felt like i was already being shamed by the one person I trusted enough to tell.
Made me hesitant to tell anyone.
I know this person is often quick to judge. I have to calm them down a lot when it comes to this. If I do end up conceiving down the road, will she be on me all the time? Do I address that now?
I would never even think about doing something that I believe would hurt a pregnancy, but I’m not pregnant. We aren’t even trying until my cycle gets back to normal.
So this has me thinking, will she get worse? I’m considering just lying and telling her we decided to wait another year...maybe I’m overreacting to this, but I’m a strong believer that your body is YOUR body. Or is she just being a thoughtful friend and I’m being psycho already?
