I used Hypnobabies through a high risk pregnancy and was able to deliver a full term baby without medication or c-section (which my doctor was absolutely ITCHING to do!). I really do think it saved me a lot of medical intervention.

Got to love those rude pregnancy comments, since I’m so tall and only gained 25 lbs during mine everyone insisted I was starving myself to avoid stretch marks and my baby would be sick because of me, genetics people! I also waited tables during pregnancy since I was still in school and you wouldn’t believe the things drunk men will ask you about sex and pregnancy, so inappropriate, but funny at times.

It’s sad but I’ve actually gotten used to the rude pregnancy comments. I was mildly offended during my first pregnancy but have since learned to take them as compliments. I am very thin and all belly while pregnant, so I always look like I’m farther along or carrying twins. It gets a little annoying when people think I’m about to pop and I still have a few months left, but the comments are generally harmless.

Sorry, but a lot of those comments didn’t seem rude to me at all . . . it could be she’s just overly sensitive because she’s pregnant?
