Starting to wish I wasn't pregnant:/

[Woodchuck9]

I hate to say it but I'm starting to wish I wasn't pregnant, don't get me wrong I look forward to when he/she will be here but there's this one friend that's just taking all the fun out of it for me

I'll try to make this short but basically I am on bad terms with my mothers as she kicked me out made me homeless 3 weeks after we all found out I was pregnant, so it quite stressful right now and I'm worried trying to get a home ect as I'm currently sleeping on someone's couch.

However despite all this and the appointments I'm having to go to I feel like I have this particular friend in my ear 24/7. I found out a few weeks ago I had a tilted uterus and this friend knew everything apparently so and felt the need to go through everything I had gone through at my appointment.

She's currently getting all her friends to drop maternity clothes off at hers to give to me which I'm appreciative of but I kind of just want to get myself a few things when I need them as I most definitely don't need maternity clothes yet, and don't want to be bombarded with all these clothes. She's trying to give me everything including all this Baby stuff and it's overwhelming abit, and I can't help but feel bad for not wanting this.

So let me get this straight... you have a friend who is trying to do nice things for you to reduce your financial burden and you are wishing you weren't pregnant because of this?

I have recently moved to a new area and have zero friends here to give me hand-me-downs. I worry about the cost of buying everything new!

I suggest you start counting your blessings. As someone who has had numerous miscarriages, I can quite safely say it would take a lot more than a helpful friend to make me wish I wasn't pregnant!

Sorry about your sleeping situation and I hope you find a home for yourself soon.

Yes I think you might need to grow up a bit.

Bearing in mind your financial situation you should really be grateful for your friend's help.

Why haven't you gone to your local council? they'll have a duty to house you if your homeless and pregnant, sleeping on a sofa in your mates living room isn't an ideal situation for an expectant mother and I'm sure they would offer you temporary accommodation at least. I can understand you feeling overwhelmed I'm sure your still trying to come to terms with your pregnancy and working out what you even want and need for baby. Can't you tell your friend to hold back on the hand-me downs for now. Let her know how appreciative you are of her but that you need some respite from the baby stuff for a while.

Can you talk to your friend and say that although you appreciate what she is doing could she perhaps leave it for a while? You could say that you havnt got anywhere to keep the stuff at the minute until you sort yourself out some accommodation. I kind of feel where you are coming from, within a week of telling people, I had a cot, pushchair and car seat. Non of which I got to choose, there would have been more if I hadn't have said anything. I appreciate it obviously but I want to get things in my own time which I've got a feeling is what you want aswell xx
