I'm 33 weeks. A horrific pregnancy the whole way through so far (hyperemesis, heart palpitations, fainting, pelvic pain, heart burn, low iron, crumbling nails.... You name it). Hence I literally can't wait for baby to be out. Lately the topic of birth has come up.
And I feel terrible saying this but if I do not get it out I will sat something really bad at home. Here is the nutshell. I am starting to get nervous about giving birth. I have already talked to my mother about how hearing some people suggest child birth should be easy, and should not require any pain relief upsets me.
However she does not listen. And I have now had to hear 4 times in two days how SHe thought it was a breeze. I have heard her mock my auntie who needed "all the drugs in the world rich effect your baby for weeks and weeks afterwards." She keeps harping on and rolling her eyes about the idea of gas and air, taking every opportunity to tell me she did it "all natural" and "women just need to get in with it."
I could right now really throw an egg right in her face. It is sooooo draining and annoying. She also keeps making negative noises about breast feeding which I want to try. "Urgh it is disgusting, I remember my mother with your auntie when she was little, she looked line a cow squirting milk everywhere." She is literally driving me nuts. And I am ashamed to say - I keep Loki g at her and thinking - I don't really like you right now.
She is otherwise loving and kind. But lately her filter and listening skills are zero. I talk, but dye can't hear.
Anyone else's mother have the same effect on them during pregnancy?
