Am I dramatic or do you relate?

Question

I feel like since becoming pregnant people invalidate my feelings because I'm pregnant 🙃 if I'm sick it's because I'm pregnant, cranky? Pregnant. Sad? Pregnant. Or I complained briefly about my body feeling achy to my mom and she replied with "you're only 16 weeks this is nothing." Like ok cool 😂 I'll let my body know this is nothing. It's like people using the "shes on her period." But for months straight 😂 vent over. Thanks for coming to my ted talk

Answer

This! Why is it so hard for people to acknowledge and validate what others are going through. Oh you’re feeling achy that must be rough. How hard is it to just acknowledge what others are going through?!

Answer

Yeah it's annoying. As if being nauseous when youre sick is easier than "well, yeah, you're pregnant so...." nope, they both feel the same, except the pregnancy lasts longer than a quick bug lol

Answer

I experienced this with my first child. I was really sick and couldn't keep anything down, and my mom kept saying "you're pregnant it's normal". I lost 40 pounds before going to the doctor and they put me on medicine. My husband also has some issues accepting that I cannot do everything anymore. Sometimes I tell him I'm tired and just can't possibly bend over anymore, and he gets upset and irritated but then realizes after a few minutes that I am 23 weeks pregnant. Your feelings are valid and it's a shame that people act that way whenever you're pregnant!
