Why so obsessed?

I've been grappling with this for a while so i figured I'd ask yall... What is it with the obsession with how a mom chooses to do certain things for her child? Another thing, why do people who normally would never ask how I feel or how I'm doing all of a sudden feel the need to check on me constantly? I just don't get it! Pregnancy is cool and all but I feel like the rest of the world is making it my identity and not just the process of making a child. Anyone else with these feelings? It's got me kind of depressed... I just feel like I'm supposed to act and be a certain way while pregnant and I'm completely incapable of it...
