Words of, apparent, advice

I'm now 8 months pregnant. Because of this I often get unsolicited advice from people I know very little or not at all. I have learned several things from women in the past 8 months. Let me share:

• Older women always say "Ask for your pain medication early, and ask for a lot of it.
  
• Younger women say "It's really not that bad, don't worry"
• I'm obviously having a boy because I'm "so wide"
• I'm obviously having a girl because I crave vegetables and fruit
• If I drink raspberry leaf tea I will be thrown into early contractions
  
• If I drink raspberry leaf tea I will tone my uterus and have an easy labor when I need to
• I will be the most uncomfortable I have ever been in my life for the last three months
• I need to exercise and gain very little weight
  
• I need to relax more as this will be the last time I will get a good night's sleep
• I need to gain more weight
• I need to lose weight.
  
• Holding ice in my bare hands for 60 seconds is the same feeling as having a contraction
• My colostrum should have come in by now
• My colostrum won't come until I give birth
• The position my baby is in now is the position he will be born in
• The position my baby is in now means nothing.
  

The reality? I feel quite comfortable, I'm not worried about labor and I weigh just as much as I should thankyouverymuch. Also, I no longer sleep through the night as I get up to pee at least once during the night.
The only negative side of being 8 months pregnant? Every time I read about giving birth and having a baby I have a mild panic attack, not at the thought of labor, but at the thought of being responsible for a human life besides my own. Wish me luck.
