Just a quick rant really as a friend has annoyed me and I wanted to say how grateful I am to have had this forum and all of you throughout my pregnancy!
I don't have any friends who have babies and I can't remember anyone really asking me how I'm feeling (besides my hubby and dad) or wanting to talk about the baby up to now! They have all said they want to come and meet lo as soon as she's here but haven't given any support through m pregnancy. I'm not the complaining type but not once have any of my friends asked how I am coping or if I need any help and I feel it's a bit selfish to want a cuddle of a newborn but not care much about any of the bits beforehand!
It's only really just hit me today as a close friend was complaining to me last week that she works with 2 pregnant women who talk constantly about all things baby, well the same girl just this minute text me out of the blue saying "By the way, thank you for being a pregnant lady who doesn't constantly talk about babies!!! So bored of the subject now!!" And this has really annoyed me!!!!
Just because I don't thrust the subject upon people every time I see them, now seems to mean I have no right to talk about something that is about to change meylfe and occupies my mind 90% of the day! I just realise how lonely this pregnancy would have been without PF so for that I'm grateful.
Now i'm wondering if i'm being dramatic or would anyone else be annoyed at this girl for that message?
