(A few things I don't think I'm BU about actually, but being PG isn't something I'm particularly familiar with!)
Saw the MW for my 16 week appointment today and she asked (again) if I'd like to attending Ante-natal classes. I don't. IMO it will give me some false expectation and/or fear about the entire labour situation that I could just do without. Also I'm quite the introvert and the thought of having to sit in a room pretending to breath with a bunch of strangers makes me cringe. I'm just planning on reading up about it closer to the time and trusting the medical professionals judgement. I'm a MH nurse myself so it's not like I'm entirely ignorant as to how the body works.
I also want to co-sleep. Yeah I'm probably going to get DP to knock up a co-sleeping cot in order to do so, but that is the plan and I honestly have not even considered any other sleeping arrangement. Nor will I.
Anyways, parents, colleagues, friends etc ask about these things. I tell them my plans. 95% of them recoil in horror and tell me I'm being stupid, things will go wrong in my labour, my baby will suffocate and so on.
I didn't listen to them at first but I'm beginning to doubt myself. AIBU just to expect everything to just...work out?
Sorry, I know this is highly trivial and self indulgent
