Living according to the opinion and expectations of others is like living in a prison. It's good you were able to free yourself and follow your own path. After all it's you that will bear the consequences of your decision. I understand the fear you felt at the time of pregnancy not to get it wrong so you felt compelled to follow the opinions of others. It's best to only follow the opinion of professionals in such cases.
Thanks for writing and have a nice day.
It is certainly as you describe, it is like being in a prison, the advantage is that you are the jailer and it is up to you to use the key to free yourself, it is a process of adaptation and acceptance. I would say that more than feeling pressure, it was more not wanting to fail and end up recriminating some actions, but certainly the important thing is not to act because of what they tell you, but because you evaluate your environment, the possible consequences and the experience of others, at the end of the day, the stories may look alike, but each one is unique. Thanks for your time in reading and nice comment, I found it very complete. Regards
