If it were up to me, I wouldn't have announced that I was pregnant. One reason is that everyone in the world now thinks that it is their "right" to give me advice. The only thing worse than being pregnant and high school is unsolicited advice. Most people will say that it comes out of love. As someone who is told regularly that I love and care too much, I don't give unsolicited advice. This reason is for this is because I can't fully understand another person, I don't know all they have done or tried. Also the place where most unsolicited advice comes from a place where the advice giver thinks that they know more and know better. I'm very much against pushing things on people and that is what unsolicited advice is. I don't push my thoughts views, opinions and advice on you, so why should you do it to me.
I've had it confirmed by other women being pregnant isn't always wonderful. I've had someone tell it's not their favorite. Being pregnant is very overrated especially in the beginning. I know. I've spent the last 10 weeks waking up half an hour early so that I puke before I start day. This really sucks and gets old real quick. I get drained of energy real quick. There is nothing tangible about what is going on the inside. There is nothing tangible about the life inside which makes it hard to think about it. It is hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel when you haven't experienced it. If we are being real and honest, there times are when being pregnant are just awful and miserable.
Something that makes being pregnant harder is when it is something you didn't want. I didn't marry James and think oh now I get pregnant. I honestly never wanted to put myself through something uncomfortable, miserable and painful. I make choices all the time to avoid things that cause this to me. I have never dream of the day when I would a full term pregnancy. It wasn't what I wanted for my life.
I know very well that this is blessing. I still have joy. I am honest with how feel about things, and I think that sugar coating is wrong. I think that telling people how they should feel or respond to things is also wrong especially if you don't know everything. I've seen God shower blessing on people and they couldn't be happy because of their life situations, however I've seen them still have joy.
I will not being posting anything about my pregnancy from here on out. If you want to know you'll have to ask me.
