Hormonal pregnant whinge!!!! it's a long one.

[cupcake78]

AHHHHHHHH!! feel better already.

I am getting a bit fed up of people at work telling me how I should be feeling

I am 29 weeks and quite frankly knackered, my morning sickness has come back. I hate work with a passion at the moment but I don't let others know this as I can't - I am the boss.

I hate to admit it but I am not one of these women who loves being pregnant and I like my home life to be kept seperate from my work life. My friends and family are very different and I don't mind asking for help advice etc from people I am close to but if I could have hidden my pregnancy while at work I would have done.

It is driving me insane. "You should be blooming, I loved being pregnant and felt really well all the time". Well whoopie do for you. "what you want to do is....." "should you be eating that!!".
The best one is "oh look at him moving" when he isn't moving at all!!! all of this just this morning.

I feel like I am in a ZOO and I am the exhibit!!
I just want to be at home clearing out or with my family/friends.

Only 12 days left - and counting. Please let it be over soon.

It is hard when people think they know what you should be feeling. I'm only 13+4 and had pretty bad sickness. Boss was great cos I had to have loads of time off. Then it was fine for a week and then came back. All I got was 'oh you were feeling better last week. I thought you had finished with all that' and an overwhelming feeling that I was making it up. I'm scared to say anything now even though I feel lousy again.

I've found that generally people don't want to know when you're feeling rough but are there to start lecturing you when you're not, including DH who is driving me to distraction!

Sorry it is getting to you cupcake - I think that during pg a woman's individual identity is often subsumed by her "state", and people feel free to offer up advice, opinion and comments where they would normally hold back. No one would dream of telling you how best to eat your dinner, or what you should eat, or how much sleep you should get on a regular basis, but it is like being pg makes you public property. It is annoying, but it is not forever! Best wishes for the last 12 days!

cupcake - people have stopped making the comments i too find ridiculous. I am terrible but basically once they said something; I would give a curt(ish) answer/ none at all (depended on the comment) - and fortunately, i work with switched on people who picked up that commenting on various aspects of my pregnancy was not wanted or needed at work! No one really makes any comments now aside from asking me how i am feeling occasionally which I can live with!
12 days will fly by! hope your day gets better.
