A man who works with me asked how I was feeling. I’m 32 weeks along so I told him I was ready to have our little boy. He laughed and said, “you say that now but I think you’re going to realize how young you really are and how much life you’re going to miss out on once he gets here. It’s a shame you had to rush it.”

Now....USUALLY, I would have just not given his comment a second thought but since becoming pregnant and fighting for this child, I went off a bit.

I struggle from PCOS and a thyroid disorder and my husband and I tried for almost 2 years to have this baby and went through 6 rounds of treatment, including 2 IUIs. We started really pursuing treatment after a routine gyno appointment turned into months of testing to see why I was going 11 months+ without a period and struggling with some other major issues.

We have been dating for 10 years and married for almost 3. My husband is 27 years old, will be 28 in October. I’ll be 26 in August. I just very politely in different words and with a “bless your heart” smile told him to fuck off and keep his unwanted opinions to himself.
