Pregnancy/Mums’ pet peeve: is this a normal occurrence or am I being overly sensitive?

A little rant here… I feel so irritated by people who don’t ever check in or show concern during my pregnancy but when baby is out, suddenly super enthusiastic and want to come and touch my baby / carry my baby and take photos etc. Like where were you during my pregnancy when I needed support and care? 😳 And now you want to act like you are so close to me and my baby? Speaking of some of my friends and also my mother-in-law. Not sure if I’m being overly sensitive cause of my heightened emotions. Anyone feel the same? How do you deal? I can only quietly feel upset at heart but I don’t know how to reject when these people want to come over to see me and baby now that I have given birth.. I feel so petty like I’m bearing a grudge against them for not being there for me through my pregnancy. #FTM #firstbaby #Rant

I didn't know how tough pregnancy was until I went thru it myself. I certainly bcm more understanding and able to empathise now. Then, after a miscarriage, I rem avoiding anything related to pregnancy so as not to feel the pain or be reminded of my unborn baby. I feel like many times it's bcs other ppl are struggling with life too. The incident taught me to lower my expectations on ppl (family, friends). After 2 years trying, I'm pregnant again now. week5. Sending love and hugs to you, mummy. You are not alone. ❤️

People are so rude towards pregnant women

I have a hard time whenever i go out of my house. I try to limit because people are so rude especially in Singapore. They literally ignore my belly knowing that im pregnant. Refuse to give way when walking and some even just bump into you knowing I need more space. #rant What are some experiences you mummies have and do you say or do anything to them?

I am 6 months pregnant. Never once have anyone given me a seat... It's really disheartening. The government should do smtg if they want to improve the fertility rate. Make it easy for pregnant ladies to commute. In Dubai, there's a cabin specially for pregnant women/ladies. Perhaps the government can do smtg similar. People are so engrossed w their phone. They either don't look up till their station or hope someone else will give up their seats. I get so triggered when I see men, able men, young man sitting down at reserved seats and are completely clueless. Really feel like slapping them sometimes, shame on them for being so ignorant!

Hi April mummies…

How is everyone holding up? I’m tired all the time, terrible pelvic pain and still having freakin nausea and I’m 28 weeks and 4 days today and feel like I can’t wait for baby to come OUT 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 and also I HAVE GD!!!!!! #Rant

I just had a breakdown today cos it's just getting very exhaustingggg. 30 weeks now with horrible pelvic pain and lower back pain. Walking is tough, sitting is tough, lying down is tough. My body is taking a beating daily. Sending you (myself and other mummies too) hugs and good vibes till we deliver safely! We're in this together, only we understand us! 🙂
