Just need to vent about forced opinions
I flew to my home state to visit family and an old friend showed up to say hi who is 32 weeks pregnant and told me I looked too big to be 20 weeks. Our bumps were about the same size and I was thinking "well, lucky you, your bump looks tiny for 32 weeks." It just bothered me. She also told me she didn't believe me that I was feeling the baby. I explained that I started feeling little bubble sensations since 17 weeks and only just now am feeling strong movement but she said it was too soon for your first pregnancy. I know that having had a miscarriage doesn't change anything.... But I am so sensitive about this pregnancy. She didn't approve of me giving up coffee, restraining from eating deli meat, or stopping playing racquetball and bike riding. Just because our pregnancies are completely different, doesn't give her the right to make me question my own pregnancy, especially since I'm worrying about miscarrying again! I just kind of lost the excitement about my baby bump and these little flutters I get. I fear sharing them with people.
