What piece of advice are you tired of hearing?

All throughout my pregnancy, people have been giving me pregnancy advice. Some advice has been good while others have been overused or not relevant. These days, I keep receiving the ';get plenty of rest now'; advice which I find rather annoying. Yes, it's good advice but they aren't the first one to tell me ... could they not think of anything else to say?

As soon as I hear the words 'do yourself a favour' or 'you know what you should do' I start to mentally shut down! Bizarrely, the people who seem to give the most 'free advice' are those who have never been pregnant!





I decided early on that there were three opinions (other than my own instinct) that I am going to listen to - my husband, my sister and my doctor. Whenever anyone else gives me their opinion, I just smile politely and look for the earliest opportunity to get out of the conversation.





The worst is a woman in her 50's at work - she is an expert on everything as it is, but pregnancy seems to be her current specialist subject. And she's never been pregnant! She is also what I call a ';tummy-toucher';, and whilst I am quite happy to share my body with my baby, it is still my body, and I am not so thrilled about sharing it with anyone else!





The most ridiculous advice I have had is that playing anything other than classical music will cause baby to be restless, I shouldn't allow my dogs to bark near me while I am pregnant as it scares the baby, and - my personal favorite - waterbirths are incredibly dangerous because not enough research has been done on them to know what effect the water has on the baby, and unless I get out to push the baby is going to drown!What piece of advice are you tired of hearing?
It's not just advice, it's comments like, if I say I hate it when kids have booger dangling from their noses or I almost vomit when I see a baby projectile vomit milk and people say ';You just wait till you have your own!';. I know I will have to deal with that when the baby comes, but for now, I don't have to like seeing someone else's kid with green monster snot. Another thing that is getting to me is when people see me having a baby as an opportunity to give me all of the baby stuff that they can't get rid off and really should be thrown out. While I appreciate the offer, a baby walker built in 1980 is really no good to me, nor are the toys and teddies that haven't been washed since 1990. Sounds ungrateful, but I'm sure people offer it because they don't know how else to get rid of it.
Plenty of annoying advice! But the thing that's grinding my gears at the moment involves my 9month old son. He's been a special needs baby so is a little slower than other babies, but lately everyone keeps telling me ';oh he'll crawl when he's good and ready'; ';some babies are just a bit slower';


It makes me want to slap them! I know they're only trying to help, but i might be talking about something completely unrelated, then all of a sudden they're saying ';your baby is slow'; with their hidden intention and competition. I understood at first but it's really getting old!!
It's so funny how the ';get plenty of rest'; comment annoys pregnant women so much. It didn't really annoy me but I always thought ';do they really think I'm that dumb not to know that?'; Well now I'm sitting here w/ my 3 week old who will not go to sleep %26amp; I can barely keep my eyes opened. I truly wish I would've gotten plenty of rest!!
Has to be 'you need your rest'


I have backache from 'resting' so much.


My partner told me to go to bed, at 9.30pm the other night because i yawned! I'd had about 11 hours sleep the night before.


And my mum said 'oh you're eyes are dark, are you getting enough rest?'





I'm getting too much! I'm so bored, and can't go any where or do anything because i have no one to go with! Its even worse going shopping on your own than being bored in the house.
Oh you're going to feel so much better during your second trimester. 1 more week and everyone better not be lying
Shudda used a rubber.
';wrap it up next time'; i find it harsh and annoying.
