Pet Peeves

I've had a few bouts of false labor (hey, I'm new to this) and I just love when people say "you'll know when it's the real thing." In retrospect, yeah, I'm sure. And while I'm sure they're trying to provide me with useful advice and have the best intentions, it just feels like a blow to my woman's intuition. I thought I did know.
This is how I imagine I look when someone says "you'll know."
WOOP! That was mine! What's your pregnancy pet peeve?

Re: Pet Peeves
Eta: I was having real contractions that were actively dilating my cervix earlier this week and didn't realize they were real. Everyone says you just know. Apparently that is not always the case. I honestly just thought it was annoying back pain.
This.
UGH! You are totally right. That is the absolute worst.
I hear this too. I reply, "Yes, but when I do get sleep it will be comfortable and I won't have to pee every few hours. When I wake, its because my baby needs me." They usually shush.
I'm so using that.
People have so much tact, I tell you what.
this is me lately haha, I have had to stop myself from posting several times this week
LOL that's okay too.
Yeah, I feel like that several times per day. I try to tone it down, but I have to admit, my patience decreases along with my bladder control.
I hate when people ask my plans about feeding, diapering, epi, travel etc....and I say to them "well, I hope to do such and such" and they respond with "oh just wait you won't do that at all."
This is why I said "HOPE" but now that you have told me I will change I stubbornly refuse to do anything but my initial plan to prove you wrong.

Or when there's any wine around and I say that it looks good and someone tells me that it's perfectly ok to drink wine while pregnant so just go for it.. Yes, I know what they say about wine, but I have a month left, I will be just fine.
I'm mobile so my .. .. Is supposed to be my quote marks haha, I hate that symbols don't show up!
this would really irritate me!! My job requires me to work mostly with farmers and people in the crop industry and I am SO thankful men don't feel the need to small talk about my pregnancy or make any comments for that matter! I couldn't hold a smile..
People continually telling me there is NO way I'm going to my due date. Oh really, I didn't know you were an OB!?
Oh, and the few that I made the mistake to tell that we were taking Bradley classes telling me to just go ahead and get the epi, since you don't get a medal for going med free. Yes, I'm aware

"If you're still my small babe
or you're all the way grown,
my promise to you
is you're never alone.
You are my angel, my darling,
my star...and my love will find you,
wherever you are."
THIS. I know that I will not have a normal sleep pattern. I know that I'll be tired. It's having a newborn 101. I'm not an idiot.
Omg MIL's aren't they grand? Mine always has to say "I think he is going to be such a big baby!" She has said it numerous times and it really rubs me the wrong way. I ask her why she thinks that since I was 5lbs 4 oz and DH was 5lbs 14oz and we are both on the smaller side as adults.. And she replies with "I don't know, I just think he is going to be really big" I can't flucking stand it!!!! She drives me bonkers.
Then look at me funny when I say whenever she wants to come. Do I have a crystal ball? Do babies usually come on their due date? No!
Or asking about my cervix. Finally told my MIL that I prefer to keep other people's hands out of my vagina when there's no medical reason to do so. Don't look at me like I'm the weird one.
Oh God I feel you, I hear this all the time and it drives me nuts.
Me too!!! If I hear that one more time I think I'll look just like Tyra in that gif!!!!
All I get is comments on how small I am too. Nobody believes me when I tell them how far along I am. I'd rather that than being told I look huge though? I usually just awkwardly laugh and say ya I know.
This has been me lately too. I actually apologized to my coworkers in advance first thing this morning, because I knew I was just going to be a raging b-word all day today!
Coworkers: "oh i need to get xyz i fo to you for this project...When does your leave start, again?"
Me: "I'm due the 20th but I'm working until I go into labour, so it could be anytime"
Coworkers: "ok. But when is your last day? I want to get this done before you are out"
Me: usually a blank stare
Also, can't stand when people say, aw you're all belly. I want to scream liars! Do they really think I looked like this before I was pregnant. I was 124 now 178! I highly doubt all of that weight is focused in my stomach! I have a double chin and flabby arms thank you! Oh and my legs are tree trunks from swelling since February soo not all I'm my belly! Ugh
I am a FTM and I seriously get peeved when people who already have kids tell me, "you just wait...." It is never advice about how exciting and fulfilling and enjoyable having a baby will be. It is always a warning about how much horror lies in my future. I know babies are a lot of work. I get it! But why do people make it out to be like life is gonna turn to sh!t when the baby comes?
Now that we're ready for number two, I'm tired of everyone telling me how hard it's gonna be. It's like: congrats on another baby, your life is gonna suck!

TTC #2: August 2015
People are always telling me I dropped! I'm like yeah sure you tell me that every day. Plus people have been saying that for like 2 months.
I'm also tired of everyone asking when I'm gonna stop working.
And since you said pet peeves, I hate when the car in font of me ha a faster than normal blinker or leaves it on longer than nessecary
