I am fed up...

People are just inconsiderate. Noone considers that it takes a minimum of 6 weeks to recover from having a baby, and that after 40 weeks of pregnancy my body and hormones are shot.

Being a mom is difficult. Not only am I constantly worried if I am doing the right thing for my baby, I have to listen to constant criticism of my suitability as a mother. Others think it is their right to make comments about my decisions regarding Ben. No one would ever say to Michael its best for him to stay home. But, if I decide I still want to pursue a career outside the home and want to keep a personality and desires separate from my husband and baby, then I am a selfish and don't love my baby.

While pregnant strangers would ask me if I was going to have an unmedicated birth and if I planned to breast feed.
