Stop Asking

The next time someone asks me if I'm pregnant, I'm just gonna say no. The next time someone asks my due date for the 27th time, I'm gonna walk away. I hate repeating myself and if you're not gonna be there when I birth, don't ask. Don't tell me to get/ not get an epidural. Don't tell me your birth story, I've heard 100 of them. Don't tell me not to pick up a 5 pound object or to sit down when I'm not tired. Don't ask me how I'm feeling if you're not gonna help me feel better. Don't ask me her name and then give me a weird face. Don't tell me that I'm "gonna go the full 40 because it's your first and she still looks high." I shouldn't have to wear an angry pregnancy shirt for you to know not to touch my belly. Don't tell me what I'm feeling is "totally labor, you should call your doctor" because you're gonna feel dumb when you see me tomorrow. Stop giving me advice I didn't ask for and worry about yourself.
