:( Do men have to be such idiots?

[EffyKat]

Me and my mam were talking about birth weights in front of my dad and he started that there's nothing to worry about the birth weight as I've not been looking after myself properly.
I've not taken drugs, not smoked, or drank alcohol. I've cut down on fish, I've not had anything with what I assume is raw eggs. Nor have I had runny eggs. I've researched the things I shouldn't eat, I've not had really hot baths. I've took more care of myself now that I'm pregnant. So, this comment has really hurt!!
When I asked him what he meant he said I hadn't cut down on caffeine. The only time I have caffeine is when I have my cup of tea in the morning but that is it!!! I have caffeine free diet coke on occasion but I mostly drink water and orange juice... I'm sorry for the rant but this accusation has really cut deep!

Dont worry about it, all men are insensitive at times :/ even the ones you dont want to be

Maybe he just felt left out or was in a bad mood.

Thank you so much. I don't really think the bath thing is a big deal I've just been told by my mam that it shouldn't be too hot :s.

You’re doing amazing hunny, you will be a FAB mummy
I would him (pretend I never heard him)

Hot baths I know you have to avoid them I had one as I was freezing and just hopped in, I was upset and in a bad mood also so I wasn't thinking properly (think it can bring on labour/cause MC not too sure )

Awww hun!.. All men are stupid.. they don't know what's good for us and just make their own assumptions. Caffeine is ok, 1 cup of tea is not bad at all.. we're allowed to have it.

Just ignore these stupid comments, there's really no point in trying to talk sense into people who don't know the facts themselves!!
