@Rashelle Omg yessss!! I wish I had your balls omg!! But yeah I think the harsh response might be the only one that works😭😭 I just get so scared of offending people even though they're the ones being insensitive 🙈
We need to learn to start saying, "thanks for your input" and changing the subject or walking away. Especially to those who don't truly see us.
@Esperanza Rios very true! It's just hard to hear every day🫤
Had a traumatic birth too and some of my relatives said this to me when my baby was not even 2 mos old. To which I always answer: "sure, if you're financing our baby no 2" or "sure, if you'll do the traumatic birthing on my behalf" I ofc say this with a smiling face. But they then shut the f up after.
@Eunice that's such a good idea actually yeah. They always have a smart answer though lol
I haven’t experienced this and that’s because before I had my first 5 months ago, for years I was been asked when I’m having a baby. Until one day I responded with, “ I didn’t realise I had hired security for my uterus”. Since then no one has mentioned it again. And now my son is here people know not to ask because they may not like the response. I would put a post out on social media even as a poll, so your own family and friends can see it and vote, those who have asked will understand they are the reason for the post. Just a simple “ Do you think it’s right to ask any mum especially one who had a traumatic birth when they are having another baby, or to tell them they will regret it if they don’t?” If that seems harsh then try… “ I have been asked on several occasions since giving birth 5 months ago when I will be having another. Following a very traumatic delivery of my daughter I kindly ask that no one, no matter your relation to me asks this question again.” Thank you
