I am just over 32wks and up until now have been quite comfortable with my PG and dealing with DD, everyone says i make it look so EASY.
I keep getting the normal questions about how i think i will cope with DD and Zara (trying to make it stick) once she's here, i have no false vision that it's going to be easy.
I know it's going to be hard, tiring and probably stressful.
But more and more now i am getting the questions about whether or not i think i will cope well during labour, i have told people i am not scared of the 'physical' pain as i really don't remember much with DD's birth but i am more worried my little girl will come too quick and cause other complications.
People just say "oh really, your not at all scared of the pain, i suppose after DD's birth you will prob find this EASY"
One girl at MG told me how EASY i had it when i had DD as i managed well without drugs and can't remember the pain, i just want to scream:
I WAS ALONE ON A BATHROOM FLOOR WITH FEET HANGING OUT OF ME I DIDN'T HAVE MUCH CHOICE!
These aren't the only EASY comments getting to me, DD is generally very well behaved, mostly smiling unless sick and has slept through since quite young (well most of the time, not so much a couple of weeks back).
I don't tend to complain to SIL or MG when she doesn't sleep through, theres not much point as we all go through it BUT again a girl at MG said it will be so easy for you as DD is such an EASY baby and you NEVER have problems with her..... umm no i just don't complain about them.
SIL told me she hopes Zara (they don't know the name... lol) is a pain in the butt as i have it so EASY with DD and then i will know what it's really like. yep she said it to my face!
WTF it's not MY fault her 5yr old still wakes over night, it's not MY fault her 3yr old only grunts at people and still wakes over night.
Ok so i don't complain about DD but it doesn't mean she's perfect and she's far from it, she has a right little attitude and can be VERY sooky and i had about 2mths of her waking 3times a night and about 2wks of her ending up in my bed.
Do i need to go places and whinge like nothing just so ppl think i have a normal child.
It's not EASY for anyone and we all have our challenges, why is it a competition?
Sorry i needed to get that off my chest, if i don't now i will SCREAM and as i get closer these comments are just coming more frequently.
