I KNOW FOR CERTAIN THAT I’LL BE TALKING ON BEHALF OF EVERY MOMS, AND MOMS TO BE, WHEN I SAY:
“WE DO NOT WANT YOUR UNSOLICITED ADVICE”!

We understand that you certainly mean well and want to help, or maybe want to share or relieve your experience through your loved ones; but remember when you were pregnant and were given unwanted advice or judgment over your coffee/tea consumption? Well, it feels the same to every other woman.
And as I said, even though it’s unwanted, unnecessary, and we would gladly do without, we understand where you come from. However, they are two other types of people that I really will not get over: the ones that are nor parents nor pregnant, and the ones that you never met (or barely) and still feel like giving advice.
If you don’t know what I’m talking about it can only mean that you aren’t a parent or at least a parent-to-be, or that you haven’t announced your pregnancy yet. Sadly, it’ll come… To help you make the best of this situation or if it hasn’t come yet, to prepare you for it, here are some example of what’s been told to me since the beginning of my pregnancy, and even prior to it as we’ve been trying for a baby for years.

This is only a few examples of what I came across in these 5 months of pregnancy, but also what I heard the most so far.
Part. II coming (way too) soon…

Just remember, you’re the only one to know your body and able to feel your child, so listen to yourself, way more than others.
