Q: sore tummy

Hi I am 14 and 7 1/2 months pregnant and my tummy is so sore!!! I am still going to school because of my parents but there's not much point because I can't concentrate on lessons what with my tummy feeling like it's about to pop and the baby driving me mad moving about all the time. My best friend won't leave me alone, she sits next to me in most lessons and rubs my tummy the whole time. I mean, I don't mind her touching it a little, but it's getting kind of annoying, especially now becuse my tummy gets so hot and sore that I just want to keep an icepack on it all day, and my friend's warm hands are not helping! I get boys at school trying to punch my tummy too when the baby moves cos they say it's gross and I'm worried they are hurting my baby plus my poor tum is now be bashed from the inside and the outside. I still have to wear school uniform and there's no way of fitting a 7 1/2 month tummy under a tight blouse and jumper, so everyone can see my stretch marks and the baby moving in my tummy, which I would rather was private! My tummy just feels fit to burst and I just want to lie down and take all the weight off it all day, but I can't. Please help!!!

You should probably homeschool. Have you discussed this with your parents and teachers?

I don't know if all schools are like mine, but guidance counselors or the school psychiatrist should be able to get out homeschooled whenever you wish, not just after the baby is born at their expense. Schools these days are petrified of law-suits so if you go to guidance and tell them that you really can't take it anymore and you need them to talk to your parents, you can easily do that. If you have issues with them like I did, you best bet is to put your foot down and go to a higher up or find an advocate that will walk you through the process. I wouldn't let things slide either cause that's letting them know they can get away with whatever. Comeon mama I know you're hormonal, start showing it to people who deserve it Smile
