I can't help but post this!

We all can say that we hate medical advice from women that have never been pregnant, or even those with opinions that HAVE been pregnant but believe themselves to be self made doctors lacking a medical degree.

I have a friend that I've been friends with since 3rd grade. I almost posted about her several times, but ended up just erasing the post and moving on. When I started to show the bloat at 12 weeks, she was like "There is NO WAY you can be feeling pregnancy symtoms this early, just no way." Things like that. Even when I called her to tell her it's a boy, she was shreeking, and was like "I really think I'm more excited than you for this baby!"

Trust me. You're not.

Anyway, she texted me today griping about a guy that she is hanging out with who always has to be right and argues with everything that she says. If it turns out he is right, he acts as if that's what he was saying all along.

To which I automatically reply, "Yeah, that's how I feel everytime someone who's never been pregnant gives me advice."

Loving the opp to say that. That's all.

    Hilarious! Great reply. Did she respond, or even think you were referring to her?

    She probably did. Considering the ridiculous things she has said, I can't imagine that she would be ignorant to the under handed stab.

    We have had inside jokes for as long as I can remember, so whenever someone acts like their an expert on something, we will, very drastically, say "Well I basically invented _____. Soooo.... I know everything." She replied with "I like invented pregnancy!" (I take that as she didn't know what else to say since she knew it was directed at her, among others.)

    I told DH at dinner tonight, and he laughed. It was great :D
