I'm just feeling really frustrated with the things people come out with when I tell them I am pregnant.
My boyfriend started off, saying
"hey, you're not sick, you're just pregnant" - yes! But hell, I feel pretty sick here I am retching every minute of the day, and I am utterly knackered too!
(Got him a pregnancy book for blokes, and after he read it he has been more understanding. If he said it again, he'd get a slap :P )
Then, I decided to tell one of my good friends, whom I've known since we were born -
"oh my god, you're going to be in so much pain in labour! What if you have a nightmare birth experience like XYZ and have an emergency c-section? Or you rip? oooh my god, you will hurt so much! Get an epidural!"
Then yesterday, I told my older sister (who has no kids or any wish to have kids)
"Let's hope it's not allergic, so you have to get rid of your cats!"
"Was it planned?" (it was)
and then
"Well you never know, my friends baby died inside her the day before she was due. So you're never really safe, you don't know it'll be okay. It could go wrong any time."
(I am extremely anxious as it is, so really not the best of things to say..."
I just don't feel like telling anyone now. Dunno what to do? Just wait until it shows perhaps, because I can't deal with any more ignorant or inconsiderate comments! Would a simple "congratulations" be too much to ask for? >
