the stress…
I’m currently 34 weeks about to be 35 weeks tomorrow with my first and i’ve found that pregnancy is not my favorite thing for multiple reasons. while the discomfort and pain is a large part of it, i’ve discovered so is my fiancé and I’s families… Now don’t get me wrong they have both been a HUGE help during these nine months especially since we are still young and have hit some bumps financially and relationship wise but they have also been a huge part of the stress… I had a miscarriage prior to this pregnancy so it’s already been an emotionally rough process and as i’m nearing towards the end it’s gotten worse. But on top of that I feel I have no control on anything around me. This is the first grandchild on both sides so our moms are eager to make this as special as possible which is great. And we are both extremely grateful that they are doing these things for us but they’ve also put us, or me mostly because my fiancé can let it easily roll off his back, in some pretty tough spots. For example, my mom is planning my baby shower as I am her only daughter and my soon-to-be mother in law is helping her but they don’t always agree on things as they are polar opposites so they don’t always get along. Other things include when I’m asked what I would like, i’m always pushed to basically pick something else. or when I say no to something they just do it anyways. and my step dad has thrown a curve ball at my fiancé. It has just slowly became a tornado of things and I feel our wishes are not being considered in anything because we are young. I want to communicate my frustrations but I don’t want to cause issues with our families. I am at the point where I don’t want to talk to them about anything baby and just curl up in a ball in bed and hide… Has anyone gone through a similar situation? How did you handle it?
