Pass Along Your Pet Peeves
Name: Jill • Due Date: n/a
I am 18 weeks pregnant with my first child; and my biggest pet peeve has to be when other "current parents" continue to tell you that "you have no idea what you are in for" and other comments like that. Really, do they think this was an accident? I'm sure it will be challenging at times, but what's with all the gloom and doom? Are you trying to scare us or are you just UNhappy being a parent?

i hate, and i mean hate, the way people either look at you and think (and i know it); god she's put on weight, or how they LOVE to tell you how big you are for your dates, and failing that, how they love to tell you anything wrong with your face, e.g. a spot. Also my husband now takes all of the bed. That really annoys me. That's it. Thank you for letting me get this off of my chest.

I'm 13 weeks pregnant and I must admit that the thing that drives me up the wall is waking up at 4am without being able to go to sleep again. I have a full time job so after a rather early wake it's hard to keep on going as I used to. I guess it's just a phase like my bad nausea was in the first few weeks.
Name: Quenesha • Due Date: n/a
I'm 5 months pregnant and one thing that really irritates me is my mother is telling my how to raise my baby already. She thinks she can control everything she's already telling me my child's bedtime and what my baby will and will not eat. WHY DOES SHE THINK MY BABY IS HERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Name: Mary • Due Date: n/a
The one thing that really gets on my nerves is that with this pregnancy my face has broken out really bad. It did not break out at all with my daughter.
Name: Connie • Due Date: n/a
I have two peeves to vent about. First of all this is my fourth child with many years between. I can't stand it when people say now how many does that make, or "you're having another one?!" Secondly, I will soon be 37 and never have considered myself or my husband to be old, but since this pregnancy more people have asked "how old are you?" Not to mention the term "advanced maternal age." My husband and I can't wait to have the baby so we can be young again!
