There is no denying that being a mom-to-be, pregnant with your first child, is an overwhelming experience. It feels like there is so much to prepare for in relatively little time, all while your body is changing in ways never experienced before. A good support system is necessary, but it is easy for these relationships to turn sour. A lot of attention is paid to the cultural phenomenon that is the Bridezilla, but many would argue that the mom version can be even more severe.
With so many things to think about and many of them seeming out of your control, it is understandable that some expecting moms are not always the most reasonable when dealing with their closest relationships. Still, as with any falling out, it is important to realize when you might be in the wrong. Most parents need even more support once the baby arrives, and they’re dealing with sleep deprivation.
