So, a fellow Tweeter and I were talking this morning about how funny it is running errands while being pregnant. No matter where you go or what you’re doing theres always someone that wants to give you their ‘two cents”. I went out one day few weeks ago, right now I am 39 weeks pregnant, and within the same day I was told I’m carrying high, then low, then its a boy then they say its a girl! Like everyone has something different to say. It’s as if becuase while THEY were pregnant that something happened to them, well that’s just the way it is for everyone!
I THINK, I do not know as I have NOT had my child yet, but I think that after giving birth it must make you automatically assume you are a pregnancy “expert” of some kind!? NOT saying everyone is this way and I definitely don’t want to sound ignorant or rude so relax. I’m sure I will think I’m some kind of expert as well…I mean aren’t I after this long?! haha. Y’all just need to remember : EVERY PREGNANCY IS DIFFERENT!
Do you know how stupid you look when you tell me “I MUST be having a boy” and then I go to a different store and they tell me “I MUST be having a girl” ?? Y’all sound ridiculous, and I’m the one that has to hear it evvvvverrrryyytime I go out in the world! AND the WORST ones are the ones that keep going ON and ON, while I’m clearly trying to get away..slowly backing up…looking away from them..NOT engaging in the conversation..i really dont care what your (you being a random person) opinion is of me!
I do however, LOVE and WELCOME , personal stories. It’s always amazing to hear about other womens stories of their pregnancy and their children. Hearing stories, and experiences are wonderful, I love it, I follow every mom possible on twitter I think, for their stories and words of wisdom. BUT there is a difference between sharing a story of what happened to you while you were pregnant, and ASSUMING that its happening to me!
Anyway, one week till my due date, then I’m sure I’ll be comparing labour stories with people, and they wont be able to imagine WHY id have “this” kind of labor becuase THEY didn’t. oh well eh.. its amusing. Like i said I’m sure I’ll assume I’m a pro too but i wont be ASSUMING anything about anyone. To be completely honest, I really don’t feel the need to even talk to random people while I’m shopping period. pregnant or not. LOL k now I just sound like a bitch.
Let’s hope i keep up this blogging now that im computer equipped! LOL

Dear God, this is the truth! If I have one more person telling me "oh, you're carrying high, it's a girl!" I'm going to scream! Especially when I correct them and inform them that he is indeed a boy, they have the nerve to ask "are you sure?" Yes, people, I'm sure, I've had 3 sonograms, and he was a boy at every one... Sigh.
ReplyDeleteSO funny, i was at the nursing home today and visited my Nanny, she'd be my great grandmother. She was telling me about when SHE was pregnant and everyone would tell her different stories like "oh your HUGE you must be due soon!" then the next would say "omg ur so tiny must not be for a while!" I was like OMG well some things never change nanny i was bitching about that last night hahaha
