So as of now I am just over 10 weeks with our first child (Yay!), but we all have that one person in our life who just has to try to bring you down. Well that person just happens to be my BEST FRIEND😑😑. This friend just had her first child in October, he is now 3 months. I’m so glad for her and I love him to pieces! But now that I’m expecting, it’s like she’s been a mother here whole life. I send her a picture of a swing and I get a reply “are you really looking at baby swings when you’re only 8 weeks” (yeah, actually, and I’m over 10btw 🙄) and then I proceed to tell her about how my insurance doesn’t cover genetic testing, her response is “well just wait until the ultrasound and things will be based on how the baby’s measurements are etc...when both my husband and I are unsure about our family’s complete medical history and would like to do the testing regardless. Another instance, talking about ultrasounds with another one of our pregnant friends, and she says “well you don’t need a lot of the baby’s heart is fine, they’re not going to check you a lot, it looks the same every time, blah blah blah. And we’re both like uhhhh okay then.

So pretty much I just needed a place to vent, but my friend and I have been competitive with eachother our whole lives, in school, sports, even to the point where she argues that she has the same amount of bills I do 🙄🙄. How do I resist the urge of just telling her to take her opinions and shove them?! Every pregnancy is different, don’t try to compare mine to yours or anyone else’s, and mostly, don’t come in here with that negative attitude just because you’re not the only one with a child anymore. 🤬🤬
