just wanted to vent my frustrations at the inescapable uninvited advice/ scare mongering that I seem to be attracting as soon as anyone knows I'm pregnant.
In a well known high street chain today I asked for directions to a maternity section. Queue a barrage of unwanted advice from the shop assistant and her colleague. What annoyed me more was that it wasn't just well meaning helpful advice but advice/ personal stories clearly intended to scare me/ make me aware of how 'horrific' the process of giving birth/ breast feeding etc. Can be.
I'm not naive, I know it's not all pleasant but the idea of having to listen to this kind of thing every time I go shopping for anything maternity/ baby related fills me with dread. It would be nice to be able to choose to focus on the positives if I want to!
Anyone got any tips for dealing with this?!?!
