I'm Overwhelmed By Everyone's Advice.
|
I'm 25 weeks pregnant and I'm starting to get really overwhelmed by family and friends offering free advice way too often. I appreciate that people care about me and my baby, but there are only so many, "You have to do this or this horrible thing will happen" comments that I can swallow. How do I politely encourage people to keep their negative comments and pushy advice to themselves?

Well, there is no way you can avoid people with advices and opinions. What you can do is to show them serenity. When they start talk thanks them and say you are well informed about pregnancy. Usually, people draw back after they see or hear confidence. Good luck!

They like to express their caring for your condition,but in case they give too much advice you don`t need or they say impolite things that alarm you more,try to say you`re in a hurry or that you have a very experienced doctor who supervises you and is always availible to answer your questions.

hello there future mommy, I know how some of this comments can be really annoy, and some people are so typical to kick us down with lots of this comments when we must want to listen great things, anyway in my case i never look how to be polite about make people stop to annoy me with their comments during my pregnancy, you can always go direct to the point and make a comment that you appreciate there concerns and help but you prefer get along without hear their comments specialy if the comments come to describe something bad. cheers dear and i HOPE people will stop to come with advises over you.

There is no polite way to do this as they are not being polite in their advise. You can just tell them you have a good doctor and you follow ONLY his/her advice so bug off. Good luck.

Answers them with smile and do not comment anything. Otherwise, say thank you if you really mean, then simply leave the area and excuse yourself in the crowd to avoid hearing other issues. Please take note that sometimes people are so amused and happy if there is pregnant woman and no matter they will comment and have unsolicited advise. With this, you must remember that God created two ears with hole, wherein some things you hear must be ponder on and some meant to pass thru on the other ears.
