The audacity of family, strangers, and “friends”!!!!!!!!

B

I have been told that I should eat more because the baby will get fatter!

I’ve been constantly compared to women who literally know nothing about pregnancy but probably receives their info from google instead of trusting professionals.

I’ve been asked to not keep the baby to myself because I’m a “hermit”.

I’ve been told to not breastfeed longer than 2/3 months because someone they knew couldn’t handle it.

I’ve been told that KNOWING how to breastfeed is “common sense” so I shouldn’t take BF classes BUT so many women get it wrong the first few times and give up due to not knowing how to get a baby to latch and if it hurts it’s probably because the baby isn’t on their right!

My doctors were compared to the internet webmd when some family members were told I was put on steroids(other medicines) to stop preterm labor.

I was second guessed by “I don’t think that’s safe for the baby”

“Y’all should name her something else”

Etc etc etc

To be clear, I can keep going on!!!!

Why does the opinions of others bother me? Because 90% of those people don’t even know what an ANTERIOR PLACENTA is

Fundal height is and why it’s important to check on that

What the amniotic fluid means

The uterus stops growing at some point in your third trimester

Baby’s really do have some type of routine in the womb

Most doctors ask you to keep an eye out on baby’s kicks/movements

What percentile your pregnancy/baby is in ETC ETC ETC

People can be so idiotic! I know I’m not the only one
