Hot take- pregnant people can act so entitled for the silliest things.

EDIT: some people are getting upset because they think I’ve forgotten about miscarriages, abusive partners and families members and such. Just so we are clear. Complaining about your partner beating you IS NOT ENTITLEMENT. Complaining about having a high risk pregnancy and being sacred IS NOT ENTITLEMENT.

Here is the definition of entitlement.

Entitlement: the belief that one is inherently deserving of privileges or special treatment.

I will not give grace to people using pregnancy as an excuse to be assholes to other humans. Yes we all have our moments, but being able to regulate, rationalize and apologize is more than welcomed.

Im sure many are going to disagree with me, or maybe feel called out by this.

I’m 22 weeks pregnant with my rainbow baby, and since joining these pregnancy groups I’ve notice some of the most entitled behaviors from us pregnant people.

Seriously, some of these post make me cringe so hard with the entitlement.

“So and so won’t change their baby’s name, even though I told them I was going to name mine that 8 years ago, someone made me walk 5 feet, MIL look at me weird, my husband went on a trip and I’m due in 20 weeks. “

Pregnancy is hard. We put our bodies through so much. But also, there have been pregnant women since the beginning of time. We are not all that special. No one really cares that much about your pregnancy but your super most inner circle. We are not unique.
