I'm done fighting to convince people, I'm over it, I just can not and will not do it anymore. In the beginning I fell into the trap of always to trying to justify my experience and justify what is happening. But not anymore, it is not worth my time or energy. There is nothing I can say to change people's minds. In the end all that I have ever asked for is for the people in my life to trust me, to trust my instincts, and to take a look at what is physically happening. Look at the whole picture, even just feel my stomach because when you do that I imagine you would have a very hard time denying what is happening. I guess the unknown is truly terrifying for them and they would rather not acknowledge me or my pregnancy.
About a year ago I gave up trying to convince people with little relapses in between. I made a mistake the other day and spoke about my pregnancy and someone that I trusted not to degrade me (at least not to my face), I know he is a skeptic and he said something that stung me, it got me right in my heart. He said that he spoke with a Neo-natal nurse and said the longest pregnancy is a year and that I should probably go speak with the people at the Guinness Book of World Records. Ouch, that one hurt. I just forgot and let my guard down. But no more, why did I forget, I know better, fuck. Back to being invisible....
