I honestly hate being asked if my mother is going to be in the delivery room with me. My answer is HELL NO! she has never wanted to be a part of my life for almost 2yrs. When I told her I was pregnant she told everyone I was dead & told me to never look for her again because she no longer knew who I was & my father of course took my mother's side & went along with everything. It does hurt me when I see/hear other preggo mamas talking about their family being there with them or being a part of their pregnancy & sharing that special bond. All I have is my husband & my baby girl that's almost here & they're all I need. Sorry ladies I needed to get that off my chest...
yea. I have learned a lot about birth and pregnancy since my last birth. since we aren't doing things the conventional way I'm very thankful not to have to deal with the negative comments from concern and lack of knowledge. I'm sure it will get easier as time passes.
@brooklynnbby, @brittneilynn21, Thanks, it's been hard but I've realized I'm better off without them even though it hurts. My first pregnancy & having to go through it alone & not knowing anything is hard.
I hear you. I recently cut ties with all extended family. it wasn't easy but I'm very happy to be off of that emotional rollercoaster. All I have is my husband and son as well. They will be the only ones at my birth for certain as well. :) be encouraged. xo
We're here for you though remember you're not completely alone I know we're not the same as having family but we're something(: @melissa_182
