and unfortunately, it doesn't stop in pregnancy, it goes on and on through parenthood...people just cannot help themselves.
I don't even talk about my choices my because I don't want to hear other peoples opinions, if I need information I will research myself or ask here on BB. What people say to me now goes in one ear and out the other so they really shouldn't even waste their breath.
I am sure you are looking fab and you will have a fantastic birth exactly the way YOU want it.
I can't believe how many people are encouraging me to get on the booze! "Not even a small glass of wine?" or SIL "You can just have a teaspoon of Southern, in some Coke just for the taste." while discouraging me from drinking coffee!
Same with Panadol. I have to be just about fainting in pain to ake it when I'm not UTD, so why is it really all that surprising that I won't take it while pg?
And, yeah, had someone tell me "Don't feel pressured into having a natural birth." Ummmm, wrong way round, kiddo.
I was overweight for ages, and never got called fat then. Now, a few people do it (mostly folk who didn't know me when I was fat) but I love it. I signed a colleague's birthday card "Love from Fat Mumma" I embraced it - it's the one time in your life where it's fun to be fat.
Alternatively, when people ask how I'm feeling, I reply with "FAT." It gets a laugh and beats them to their stupid comments.
