Venting

Yesterday I met my friend. I am 34+5 weeks pregnant and she is 16 weeks pregnant pregnant with her first. I have an older daughter. And my labor with my daughter was 28 hours long and I also had preeclampsia. She knows all about this and she said she discussed my previous labor story with her mother and they think it’s weird because her mothers labor was only an hour long and may be I wasn’t active enough during my pregnancy. I took early leave from my office because it was getting stressful and I wanted to be calm before labor. And she made me feel so weak that I could not handle all this. And she had so many instructions for my daughter on what to do and what not to do. Me and my husband were there to control her but when she was playing on her outdoor swing, she said to her husband she will break it. He himself said she is just a kid, with her weight it won’t break. But still she asked her to stop. That really broke my heart. Because she is not an aggressive kid. Me and my husband were telling her no as we could sense she is not comfortable. Today I told my husband I don’t want to meet her till delivery, to keep negative energy away.
