She asked how I was feeling, I told her the exhaustion is terrible. It’s a struggle to get out of bed. It’s difficult to function. It’s extremely depressing etc (10 weeks 3 days). She said, “oh, but you’re not nauseous anymore?” I said no. And she said, “oh, I’m so glad you’re feeling good now.” Ummm... excuse me? I just told her that I’m so tired I can’t move or function. I pointed that out (again) in nicer words than above, and she said that at least I’m not nauseous bc being nauseous is terrible but exhaustion isn’t.

She has a history of denying things that she didn’t personally experience. (Once she told me that people wouldn’t get postpartum depression if they just kept moving. Which is not at all accurate). And her blanket assumptions based solely on her personal experience are getting on my very last nerve (particularly now that I’m hormonal). I let these things slide in conversation, but it still drives me crazy and literally keeps me up at night. I have a long history of anxiety and depression, so these ignorant comments really piss me off. Please send me your thoughts. Am I being too sensitive or is she out of line?

P.s. she also wants to move in with us after we have the baby, which is 100% not happening, but going to be a fight for sure.
