Keeping future pregnancies to myself
I was reflecting on my pregnancy, how it went and how it changed my relationship to family and friends.
My daughter had a stroke in utero and we found out when she was 3 days old.
She’s a year old today and happy as a bunny. Your typical 1 year old menace, running and causing chaos lol.
I’ve also had to have a c- section.
Because of everything, whenever I mention a second pregnancy or thinking of trying, I’m met with negativity all around the block.
“But you’ve had a c-section, shouldn’t you wait at least 3 years?”
“ your daughter had a stroke, shouldn’t you ease off having kids? Maybe next time will be the same or worse”
I’m just constantly met with negativity and shit like this.
My husband and I are TTC for baby#2 and I’ve decided not to tell a single soul.
I just can’t be asked to be around people and having to hear the fake sympathy and know it all bullshit. All I’m met with is negativity & I get it, it’s not coming from a bad place but sincerely, fuck off.
I just needed to vent omg, this felt good
I think you should not discuss anything else with them. What they are saying is not even a wise thing to say. People especially families and friends always have to say good things to their love ones and even any one out there and encourage them with good confidence instead of putting fear in them
