So I'm pregnant and so another x amount of months of unwanted opinions.
Suddenly people I barely know seem to know what's best for me.
From memory it doesn't get any better once the baby is born either.
Why does everyone have an opinion.
Apparently I shouldn't be decorating, carrying things, taking paracetomal for a headache, I definitely should not be having a home birth as it's selfish and dangerous, I should/should not have a flu jab (depending on who's butting into my conversation), if I dare to express unhappiness about any given situation I 'shouldn't be worrying', or 'I'm stressing myself out'. Which is apparently not good for the baby. I should/shouldn't give the baby it's brothers hand me downs as it will/will not give the baby a complex.
News flash, women having been having babies for years, I've managed to bring one child up without any major disasters, I'll follow current medical advice along with a dose of experience and common sense.
And if I want your opinion I'll ask for it.
Rant over.
