Warning, vent.

My best friends mom is on facebook, and honestly is probably the person that follows me the most (a little weird, yes, but she doesn't have a life, so I think she just stalks people everyday). Anyways, she is the person who has to do the "are you sure it is safe when you're pregnant?" comments about EVERYTHING. First it was coffee, then it was me walking a 5k, etc etc.
Well I have not been sleeping well at all due to PUPPPs on my belly, my OB gave me a prescription for zyrtec yesterday, and I finally got the first good nights sleep in over a week. This morning when I posted in my status "first good nights sleep in over a week, thank you zyrtec!" of course she has to comment:
her: is that safe to take when you're pregnant?
me: Well, my OB prescribed it, and I double checked, so yes.
her: just curious, but I looked it up online and it's a class B medication, which means it was tested as safe on pregnant animals, but not on pregnant women.
me: How often do you think pregnant women volunteer to test out medications?
I'm just annoyed. What does she want me to say? "OMG you must know better than my doctor even though you don't have a medical degree?" She literally comes across as the most negative, passive aggressive, know it all person in the world sometimes and it gets under my skin. I guess I don't have my regular level of tolerance for it lately. Thanks for letting me gripe.

Re: Warning, vent.
you need to reply "OMG, what have I dont to my baby! you have me so worried. If something happens to her... I feel faint. I have been vomiting about the stress of this all morning"
Okay fine - you wont really do that.
another option "I dont care about the baby anymore. I need my sleep, goddammit"
I have a friend that told me that she had to take Cipro before she knew she was pregnant. As a pharmacist, I know that this can be dangerous to bone development, but I would never even think of saying something to freak her out. She has her own doctor.
People need to mind their own business. There needs to be a PSA about "just because I am pregnant doesnt mean you can give me your opinion on EVERYTHING"
Wow, are you talking about my mom. A person with no life who friended all my facebook friends - SO ANNOYING!! That is a big part of the reason I don't use Facebook anymore because I don't want to share my friends with my mom.
Stop replying to her and ignore her and maybe she will go away.
So annoying. I have a feeling this will only get worse when the baby comes and she has an opinion on everything you do as a mother.
Block her or stop posting about this type of thing.

Okay thanks for making me laugh, now I feel better!! I really should have gone all out crazy sarcasm on her butt and seen if she got the picture- haha!! As is, she stopped commenting after my last reply so I think she got it.
It would be huge drama if I blocked her, so I should just ignore her comments rather than steam over them.
you can block her from seeing your statuses without deleting her.
but i would just delete her, i deleted my own MIL....it is just a media website, not the end of the world.
I ignored my MIL's friend request... I kind of feel bad about it, but we are very different people. I don't even think my husband has her as a friend. Luckily, I've only had positive responses by people, because most people are generally happy for us- If anyone were to make a comments like that on a frequent basis, I would most certainly block her.
Ugh, that is so annoying. It boggles my mind how much people take the advice of Dr. Google over ACTUAL doctors. Not to mention the fact that she took it upon herself to look it up even after you informed her that your doctor prescribed you the Zyrtec in the first place. It's like, do you really think I'd be taking something to intentionally harm my child? STFU.
As others said, I'd block her from seeing your statuses or block her altogether on FB.
This exactly. I blocked or defriended all parents-of-friends on facebook b/c it was getting too annoying. I blamed it on pregnancy hormones and hoped they don't refriend me after LO is born.
I'm blessed with PUPPS as well..... and agree with all of the above. If I'm not scratching... I'm thinking about scratching.... and it has me on edge 100x more than the worst pregnancy hormones I've experienced. After trying every home remedy in the book & consulting my doctor twice.... DH's aunt told me yesterday that I should eat more yogurt and she was convinced that would help. She went on and on about it for 5 minutes. While I appreciate the desire to help.. back the f off lady, and let my doctor do the doctoring.
