does anyone else feel like.

they've gone from being a person to being "that pregnant girl"?
because thats how it seems to me sometimes.
people i don't even know are like ooh, i wanna come see you when the baby is born
or
ooh, don't forget to invite me to your baby shower!
i mean..
it just bothers me.
these people had no part in my life before i was pregnant
why would i want them in my life now?

It's a no-win situation for those people. They're trying to be nice and supportive. But it would be just as bad if they were to totally ignore you. I think for a pregnant teen its easy to overthink things and assume the worst.

I definitely feel like a lot of people are only interested in talking to me because of the baby, because that's all they ever talk to me about! they didn't talk to me before I got pregnant, so why would I want to talk to them now?

I love talking about the baby to people that gave me the time of day before they found out I was pregnant, but the rest I have no interest in really x

Hun I know exactly how you feel.
After i switched schools one of my good friends who I was no longer friends with cause of issues, imed me one day and goes im so excited for you and im gonna stop by the hospital when the baby is born.
All i do is smile say thank you and invite them.
Cause in all reality half of them people wont even show up to your baby shower.

Kind of, only with a small amount of people though.
Some people are like "Let me know when you have her, and I'll come see you!"
Errr no! If they haven't made the effort to see me beforehand why should they see me just because I have a daughter!

people are nosy I'm afraid, and for some people pregnant women are public property where they can invite themselves to everything to do with your lo, ignore it, like rainbows said, if they didn't bother to get in touch before you were pregnant you shouldn't bother at their attempts now! I've told everyone who's tried this where to go

This is the story of my life right now and it makes me so mad. I have had so many people invite themselves to my baby shower. First off, I hate when people have the nerve to invite themselves somewhere, but really? A baby shower? It isn't a birthday party. I really only wanted mine and OH's families there, and my 3 best friends. And now I have like 10 personal people I know coming when we already had about 40 guests. I didn't really speak up as much as I should have though, plus it is more for Madi. haha But I'll definitely speak up about the hospital, I only want my best friends and family there.
