- Thank people for their concern - then carry on as you were
- Keep yourself informed - use a reliable and trusted source
- Speak your mind - if you're tired of other people's opinions, be assertive and say: "Thanks, but I think I can make up my own mind"
- Mix with people you can rely on not to worry you - other parents at your antenatal class, for example
- Talk with your partner - you can reassure each other
- See the funny side - interpret people's concern as interest rather than interference, and try to enjoy being the centre of attention
