Don't you find it rude...

When people who have never been pregnant and know nothing about pregnancy try to tell you that you're wrong about something?

Today at work a girl told me that there was no way I lost my MP or pieces of it. She responded with "If you lost it then you'd be in labor so there's no way you already lost it"

Now in fact I haven't lost it yet but I told her that I don't know if I'll be able to tell when i lose it because yesterday I was bleeding from my internal and I pee so much at night that I could lose it then and not even know.

I felt like her response was so rude because she has no idea what she was talking about trying to tell me I was wrong. Um really I'm the one that went to a child birth class and oh yeah I'm living pregnancy right now!

 

Sorry I had to vent I just found it rude!

    My FIL tried to tell my husband what I would feel during childbirth, that pregnancy and childbirth are not really as hard as women make them out to be, that we dont really need pain meds for anything labor/recovery related, and that the pain isn't very bad. 

    My hubs' response? "Dad, I'm going to suggest you NEVER say those things around Lancy... Or any woman who has ever been pregnant. Not if you feel like living much longer, that is."

    Smart hubs.

    How well do you know this "girl at work" that you're discussing having potentially lost your mucous plug at work?  I can't imagine discussing my vaginal discharge, internal exams, and subsequent bleeding with coworkers!  (-:

    I guess I don't find her any more rude than anyone else who talks out of her as$, and I know plenty of people who love to do that!

    Depends on the environment where you work. My co-workers and I are close like family. We talk about EVERYTHING. :)

    She's an interesting people who brought it up and was like asking me all these questions. I've known her for 2 years now. But I think my post was confusing I didn't tell her about my internal exam and the bleeding I just was thinking it when she was telling me about how I would know because I'd go right into labor

    Yes! That drives me nuts. A girl I know who has no kids, no intention of having kids, etc, started lecturing me on how to "properly" childproof my house the other day...

    I have two coworkers that don't have children that constantly tell me I will not be able to have a natural med free birth. I know they mean well, but it gets on my nerves.

    haha don't worry - her time will come! my sorority sister berated me at a wedding for stopping breastfeeding - at the time she was not even close to thinking about having a second date, much less a baby. Some people are just know it alls!

    Oh tell me about it, people that have never been though this seem to have the most "advice" about it.  I get it a lot from my friends that don't have kids I just laugh it off. I can't wait till its there turn.
