Does anyone else go through this with someone?
I'm 9 wks and my husband and I pretty much told everyone when we found out at 6 wks. Well I expected unsolicited advice from everyone because that's just how people are, right? So you let it go in one ear and out the other and nod your head and continue on because most of it you're aware of or know it to be an old wives tale. But does anyone have someone that just tells you terrifying things? My husband's grandmother just says the most God awful things sometimes and they just freak me out. In the beginning when my fatigue was really bad she told me that I could sleep at night because if I slept during the day the baby would attach itself to my spine and be born stillborn. Then once she said she was going to make some clothes for the baby but she had to wait because she didn't know if the baby would be born premature or at all. And last but not least she keeps talking about once the baby is born it could die in the middle of the night. Of course I'm aware of all the scary possibilities but is it really necessary to talk like that? As if I won't worry enough! I've started to ignore her and walk away but has anyone else had someone so negative around during their pregnancy? If so, how did you handle the situation?
