Small Rant ⚠
Has anyone had issues with SO's grandparents? 😕 This didn't bother me when it happened but now that I'm thinking back on it I'm kind of irked... I was talking to my Hubby's grandmother about a week ago about everything and my birth plan and what not and what does this woman do? She looks me right in the face and laughs her ass off and says I'm crazy. I plan to have an all natural water birth with no medication, I have complete faith in myself and my little one to get through it. She insists that I won't make it and I'll need the epidural really quickly... I'm sorry but just because she couldn't do it without the epidural doesn't mean I can't. I know it doesn't have anything to do with genetics but my mom and my sister went through several births with no epidural and came out just fine... so why wouldn't I be able to? She basically laughed at my birth plan and said that it'll never happen the way I want so why waste time trying to have a plan? I know no birth goes completely as planned but it still doesn't hurt to have a birth plan, especially for someone like me who has crazy anxiety when I don't have at least a little control over a situation. I know I won't have control over the labor but at least I'd have a guideline to put my mind at ease. I just hate when people have no faith in me especially when they barely know me and what I'm capable of. It's whatever though, all I need is the support from my hubby and my doctor and that's all that matters.

My boyfriends mom thinks because she had 3 kids she knows it all. I told her what hospital I wanted to have the baby in and she says oh no go to this one. Told her what theme I wanted to have the baby reveal party and she went and got the complete opposite! Then she says if I were you I would get blah and blah and blah. Like I'm sorry woman but every female is different just because you had it one way doesn't mean I'll have it the same way! Ugh! Sorry

@rainbowbaby2015, No I completely get that. My theme was owls and I told my mom several times and at my baby shower I think she and my grandma were the only ones to get anything owl related. Everyone else in the family got monkeys or lions... ugh... monkeys are so overrated. No offense to you if that's your theme... I just think that because my sister always went with monkeys. But seriously... just because I'm a first time mom doesn't mean I don't have the ability to make my own decisions and do what I feel is best for me and my baby.

@missyowl92, no it's okay I wanted the theme of my baby shower to be "under the sea" because I wanted to make babies room look just like the ocean but his stepmom put on the invites jungle so I threw them all away. It's pathetic people think they can make decisions for other people. Esspecially when it's something you truly wanted

@rainbowbaby2015, exactly. it's just wrong to make a pregnant woman rethink her decisions or change them for her when she has enough things to worry about...
