So Many Opinions

anydaynow - April 16

I'm 38w and I get so many opinions from people about how my pregnancy is going. I am 4cm dilated, 80% effaced, and at 0 station. Everyone tells me "you can last for weeks like that". Also, I'm constantly getting sized up and being told "you're carrying really high, when are you going to drop?". It's pretty frustrating. Anyone else the victim of unwanted opinions?

I think having been pregnant makes others feel like they have earned a membership in the "been there, done that" club. MOST people will state what they know or have experienced and while it may not apply to you personally, my advice is to just smile and store it in the "okay...thanks" bin. Way back in time the wise women pa__sed on their info and advice complete with personal slants to the young ones. Since our family/social units have fragmented so much in modern times I think that part of our biological social selves hasn't changed as quickly. Do what you are doing best, growing a magnificant baby and let the advisors talk on. Best wishes to you!
