"Cant handle pregnancy" so they say
Am 19 weeks and am actually bothered by comments i get from my aunt and mom.
When I say " excuse me,i need to pee" the response is you have a very tiny bladder, it worries me.
When I am tired, my mom tells me she doesn't remember being too tired at this stage, maybe because she gave birth young. Am 27! N I wasn't under the impression that am too old to give birth.
When I ask that we walk slower because their pace makes my pelvic hurt, my aunt says this early? U r Not supposed to feel like your hip joints are weak...that happens later. Tell your gyn.
I bought a belly band n showed mom. Told her it is supposed to help with the weight n support back. She told me how am too weak to carry a baby.
And am thinking. What the hell?
Why are they trying so much to make me feel like I can't do this. Did they forget their pregnancies 20+ years ago or am I really that weak n I need to get some help? I thought all you ladies are going through the same. I really feel like I can do this and am confident about it. N I don't want someone to instill fear in me that there is STH wrong with me because of all the symptoms. Am a FTM n they r trying to make me feel like not all pregnant women get pelvic pains, peeing, and fatigue this early. Or am I over reacting?
