It seems that every time I have mentioned to any other woman that I am 6 weeks pregnant, they automatically feel the need to share their miscarriages, still births and pregnancy, birth horror stories. And then have the nerve to say, "So are you excited?" I read the research and 85% of all conceptions go to full term without any complications. But why does it seem that everyone I seem to bump into only have bad experiences? Where are the women out there that have enjoyed being pregnant and had a wonderful experience (but painful obviously).
They say that you should not stress out about things! Well my message to these women is,
"Please think twice before blurting out your issues on a newly pregnant first timer, its hard to get excited about something that by most women's comments is doomed for failure".

Any newbies finding this, or is it just me? its distressing and I do my best to ignore them and not let their comments sink in. But now I am just getting cranky about it!
What don't other Mums tell you when you're pregnant!? Even after you have your baby, they still continue to give you horror stories of how awful their days are and they're so negative! Trust me...don't listen. Just shrug it off as all pregnancies and children are different. Each family is different too. If you choose to sleep with your baby, not BF, feed them solids at 4 months etc, it is up to you!! Having Madeleine has been awesome for us. And all those horror stories they gave me! HAHA, some woman said she didn't even get time to brush her hair. Righto...why is it that some days I can straighten my hair whilst my daughter watches me? You enjoy your pregnancy and tell those women to bugger off LOL!
