I remember when I was pregnant that everyone I knew or didn’t know had some sort of comment. When I was pregnant I was especially sensitive to anything I perceived as negative. Now that I’m no longer pregnant and a mom of two, I’ve realized that the comments were for two reasons: 1. people are amazed about the miracle of life and think it’s truly incredible and beautiful 2. people want to share their story and feel connected to you because they went through it themselves. Once you can separate yourself from the comments and realize they happen mainly for those two reasons, you’ll take it less personally. Remind yourself it truly is a gift that you are carrying a life inside of you!
