answerer Asked: How do you handle a friend who thinks she knows everything about pregnancy just because she had a ba

So this is my first pregnancy.. there are some things that are new to me and if I am unsure I will ask my friend. However, my friend will just volunteer her information when it isn't even asked! It is SOO annoying!

For example the other day she asked me how my day was and I said it was fine and the pregnancy was going well but that I was having constipation. Before I could even say more, my friend interrupted me and was like "Oh, well what you have to do is take Colace and then do this and then do that, blah blah" and then I told her "yes, i know. I am already doing that. I am aware of what you have to do when you have hemorrhoids and constipation." And when I told her I was excited for my prenatal appointment she told me I don't even have to go to my 1st appointment because she could probably do it for me since she is a self proclaimed "expert" on pregnancy.

I understand she might have good intentions but she is coming across as a know-it-all and just telling me how to do everything when I am not even asking for advice!! The kicker is that she only recently had her first child. She never read any pregnancy books and doesn't even take pregnancy seriously!! Her mom does everything for her and she just mooches off of her parents. She hardly spends time with her kid!!

The most annoying part is that when I told her I am going to breastfeed she told me: "Um, Oh. Well, listen honey… Not to be rude but your boobs are small now.. just wait till your breastfeed, they are going to get even smaller." like WHO the hell would say that>?! She is only knocking the idea of breastfeeding because SHE didn't do it.

She recommended that I see her OB/GYN and when I decided to go to a more reputable hospital/OB GYN in the area she started saying how her doctor was better.

I just can't stand it anymore!!! UGH!! She isn't married and doesnt have a whole lot going for her right now so the only thing I can imagine is that it makes her feel better when she talks to me so condescendingly…

Oh, and apparently now my friend is psychic too because she said she knows I am going to go late. She bases this off the fact that SHE was late. argh!! Its driving me nuts, all of her comments!

How would you deal with this?? What do I say to her? I am hormonal right now so I am afraid I am going to just lose it one day! lol. I normally have learned that I should NOT ask her for advice, but now it is annoying because she just gives advice whenever she sees fit…
