PREGNANCY RANT!!!
I wish my mom would stop comparing my pregnancy!!! This is my first and she compares everything about it, it’s ANNOYING!!! I was out on bed rest earlier on (I’m not on it anymore but my doctor still wants me to be careful and if I do any workouts and activities to inform her) I tell my mom that when she asks me why I’m “so lazy this pregnancy and why don’t I go to the gym because she could with all her children” and I’m like “well were you out on bed rest?” And she’s like “well that’s not an excuse I know a friend who also works out all the time at the gym while pregnant and ran a marathon” and I told her my doctor literally said I can walk up to 30 minutes and that’s literally IT especially since I wasn’t very active before pregnancy. Than today she goes on talking about “why are you so small? Are you sure you’re having a girl because your cousin is having one and she’s bigger than you” even tho she has TWO kids already, I’m more petite and short, and she is 1.5-2 months AHEAD OF ME!!! I’m like I’m pretty sure my doctor knows what a VAGINA looks like by 20 weeks and my doctor said if a penis wasn’t showing by then even though her legs were sprawled open than something would be wrong there. And she constantly makes me feel guilty for what I eat at first I eat TOO much and she’s going to be unhealthy and when she was pregnant she made better choices whenever she sees me pick up 1 bag of chips or eat a bowl of cereal than says I eat too little and she’s going to be too skinny. It’s like my whole pregnancy she has been making me feel insecure about myself and bump size. And I told her bump size DOES NOT DETERMINE GENDER and at my appointments she’s always healthy and even measuring a pound or so extra. Stop making me feel insecure, she compares more but that would be VERY long but I just need words of encouragement because I’m sick of her doing this.
