Pregnancy is sweet….pregnancy is amazing…pregnancy is a gift from God!
But sometimes…. there are some annoying things that people say or do to you during pregnancy that can just ruin your day!
Especially when you’re hormonal and can easily cry! lol
Usually no one means any harm by what they are saying to you but as a hormonal pregnant mama you can sometimes feel emotional about what is being said. Here are a few annoying things that people can say or do during your pregnancy…
- Comment about how big you are. “Wow! Are you sure you don’t have twins in there?”
- Comment about how little you are? “Are you sure you are eating enough for you and baby!”
- Random people come up to you and touch your stomach. (I remember a stranger came up to me at a restaurant and touched my belly. I felt so uncomfortable!)
- Someone telling you their childbirth “horror story”. No one wants to hear how bad it really can be. Plus… I’m a Labor Nurse, I know… I’ve seen it happen!!
- Someone telling you how absolutely perfect their delivery was! No one wants to hear that either. Because guess what…? No one is perfect and I bet it didn’t all happen exactly like you are saying!
- Someone ruining your baby name! For example you tell them your baby’s name is going to be John and they say… “Oh when I think of John I think of this guy that was so rude and named John.” No one wants to hear about why they shouldn’t name their baby a name that THEY LIKE! For that reason we kept our sweet Hugo’s name to ourselves and didn’t tell a soul until he was born!!
- The last thing that I personally thought was super annoying was being told your life is over and you’ll never sleep again… AND.. the other terrible parts for parenting! This is supposed to be an exciting moment! Not a moment to be miserable!! No one should ruin someone’s happiness!
Again… pregnancy is beautiful and amazing but sometimes the things that some people say to you during pregnancy can ruin your day! So, be careful what you say to these pregnant, hormonal mamas! Instead of mentioning any of these 7 things, you could say something about how their skin is glowing or how beautiful they look!! Or give a little gift to let them know you are thinking about them during theses sometimes challenging months. Because pregnancy can be very challenging to some both mentally and physically.
