Women Share The Most Annoying Unsolicited Pregnancy Advice They’ve Gotten (17 Tweets)

Parents, is there anything more annoying than unsolicited pregnancy advice or parenting advice? Do you just want to punch folks who tell you to eat more kale or that you need to “calm down” or that Little Susie should be taking both French and Chinese in order to get into Pre-K?

One Twitter user started a thread about such unsolicited pregnancy advice that is both healing and hilarious.

Noting that she is 6 months pregnant, @Diamond_Jax shared an exchange with a stranger when she was drinking a coffee at Starbucks. The stranger told her she should be drinking decaf while pregnant, and @Diamond_Jax responded that she was not pregnant, giving the stranger quite a shock—and maybe teaching that person to mind their own business next time.

Folks, keep it to yourselves. If we need help, we’ll ask.
