Heva&Zacky: Can't believe your friend said that to you I've had so many ppl tell me i'm crazy, I work with kids so get lot's of parents telling me what i'm in for now, goodbye sleep, hello tantrums etc I find it funny that ppl seem more likely to be negative about having kids than positive, haven't had one person yet tell me it's the best thing we will ever experience, but I don't need to be told, I know it will be

1sttimemumma88: Just wanted to say Well done for birthing drug free, that's my goal, I've had quite a few ppl roll eyes, raise eyebrows and laugh at me & say we'll see when I say i'm going to try doing it drug free.

Just Me: Thanks for the link i'm going to have a squiz now.

TeniBear: Love your responses, I'm going to try them next time someone comments on me being a fatty!

Nickle730: I got the exact same greeting only yesterday by my neighbour "Hey Fatso" but gosh I wish I'd responded with "How ya going chubby" haha I'm going to try that next time!

Persephone1: Thanks I think you may be right, one person who has been criticising me for wanting a natural birth and told me how much better for your body and baby a c/s is has chosen 3 elective c/s, maybe she is disappointed she never tried doing it naturally. I'm all for c/s if it's for the health of bubs but I want to at least do my best at trying to have my baby the way nature intended.

Arcadia: I need to do a bit more research on c/s so that I can come back with factual responses, thanks good to know

Boo boo: I'm only half way and already learning to just keep my mouth shut when ppl ask questions. I'm tired of hearing ppl's opinions.

Audax: I'm the same as you, I've had one panadol this whole preg so far for a major headache, but def not a fan on putting things into my body. I don't want to drug my baby in labour, will be trying my best, the only way i see myself having an epidural is if I need a c/s.

Thankyou so much for your responses and advice ladies, I've got some good comebacks now and will also be less likely to share our plans with ppl from now on.
