This works for me, I rarely talk about my pregnancy with anyone because I always thought talking about it kind of invites unsolicited advice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-may-seem-obvious#post-680551 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 13:39:12 +0000 googly-eyes 680551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't really get a ton of advice, or I don't remember it but I agree with the sentiment in general! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-may-seem-obvious#post-680469 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 12:33:13 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 680469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH &amp; I are so traumatized by all the things we heard that we are vowing to<br /> -not tell anyone (colleagues, neighbors) I'm pregnant until its like just obvious! (Except family)<br /> -not tell my due date...just be like "I'm due in early spring!"<br /> - and not discuss anything other details like who my doctor is and what type of birth I anticipate.<br /> Learned our lessons... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-may-seem-obvious#post-680460 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 12:20:41 +0000 lomom 680460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To some but it took me until nearly 8 months pregnant to realize... Keeping my mouth shut about my pregnancy has really cut down on the peanut gallery commentary in my life. I was getting really frustrated by all the stupid and downright rude comments/advice I was getting.</p> <p>It's been about 2 weeks since I've stopped discussing my pregnancy with anyone or discussing my decisions with them and I couldn't be happier! My coworkers were the absolute worst (two had just had kids and one just had a grandchild) and even though they still babble to me "Oh just you wait, you'll see what it's like!" type stuff, I just smile and nod and walk away.</p> <p>Man, I wish I'd done this sooner. </p>
