My son was born at 35 weeks. He was huge for a 35 weeker at 6 lbs 15 oz.

When people find out how big he was, the first question everyone asks is “are you sure they had your due date right?”

It takes everything in me not to respond “you’re right—he was probably full term. We just had a NICU stay with supplemental oxygen and a feeding tube for fun” 🙄

We also had a heat wave in July when my son was due. I’ve had a lot of people ask me “Aren’t you glad you didn’t end up having to be pregnant in that heat?” I laugh it off but it feels so insensitive. I know a lot of women know what 40 weeks pregnant feels like, but don’t know what it’s like to be discharged without your baby or what it’s like to sleep on a NICU couch for days on end. I’m always torn between letting it go or explaining to them that I would have taken that discomfort in a heartbeat if it meant my son could have had a normal, healthy birth.

Anybody else get bothered by questions like this?
