Fed up with everyone's asking when is baby coming!!

im 39 wks today with my little boy...in the past few days I've been really irritable and get annoyed About everything.....just really got to the point when I've had enough of being pregnant and just want to meet my LO.
Everybody keeps asking when he's coming etc and it just drives me nuts cos I just want it to be NOW.... I've had a really easy pregnancy so nothing to complain about, it's just way too long..... It's a bit like your last few days at work before the holiday of a lifetime.....
Am I going crazy or does anyone else feel like this?

You definitely aren't alone! I'm 38+5 today and honestly everything has been getting on my nerves (especially DH, for some reason). I've had a great pregnancy, almost no problems except for gestational diabetes and one scare that he was going to come too early. I am sooo ready to meet my son!! Thanks to my GD though I only have until Wednesday to wait now since I'm being induced.
Good luck and I hope the rest of your pregnancy goes smoothly! And that you get to meet your LO soon!

You aren't alone. This is my second and 38 weeks and 5 days. ... the exact time my first came. The fact that I've never been pregnant this long is hard. I've been in "false labor" for like 3 weeks and 4cm and 80%effaced. It's really hard to be nice to people. I know everyone is excited but it gets stressful for mommy when they are the one that wants them here more than anything. Today I'm just sitting and watching TV v and just being here. We are almost done.... I promise we forget this haha

Thanks ladies!! Nice to know im not alone x

I feel the exactly the same way!!! I'm getting so damn impatient, I'm 39 and 2 days and also have had a pretty smooth pregnancy, wondering when's it my turn lol

I'm 41w+2 and I'm sooo ready! Actually I'm even more than ready! If it isn't the constant ringing it's the texts or even seeing people saying the same old "he will be here soon" or "not long now" I feel like slapping them full on with a pregnancy hormone or two! )

Oh my gosh me too! I'm due in two days. I have barely had any pains or contractions and I'm not dilated at all. I don't think my LO is going to come anytime soon, but family/friends are getting just as anxious and keep asking how I'm doing. I don't really mind it at all just wish I had something exciting to tell them!! But I got nothing. We are so close to the end though--I just keep thinking that less than two weeks and I'll definitely have my LO in my arms. Hang in there!!

My grandma just called and asked me when I thought I was gonna have the baby... If we was going to be stubborn or not because she's busy and needs to know... Hold on let me look into my crystal ball and see when he is scheduled to arrive and let you know! I wish I knew when he was coming!

thefuturemrsdaniel

This why I've chosen to just stay home and not talk to people haha

I'm 40w+3 and its driving me crazy! Mine and husband's family are constantly calling and texting us if I've felt anything yet or is the baby coming yet... We just keep saying we will call you when we are at the hospital so calm down! These people act like we aren't going to let them know when it's time.

I'm 39 + 6 and just over the past few days the questioning has really begun. I've grown so tired of it that I've started just telling people that he came already! When they reply shocked, I come clean with the truth, but it does give me a few minutes of satisfaction!

My mom is the best. I called her today to say hi and she said, "you still sitting home? Call me when he baby is already here." My mom gets it.

BUT

Other people are so annoying. Its the same questions and comments over and over again:

"your still pregnant?" 

"when are you due?"

"looks like you will have the baby soon"

"I bet you cant wait"

"hey mama"

or the one that takes the cake "oh you haven't popped yet?"

Or the "pregnant lady cat calling." Did anyone one ever had that? Where a old lady (or man) that you kind of see everyday (because they socialize with other old people around your house) call out to you, "hey mama, how you feeling? When are you due?" Its really objectifying!

I started to avoid places like the dog park or the laundry room because that's where the worst (old little ladies) offenders are.

No one has really asked me that but my mom is texting me every 2 days, asking me how I'm doing. I really want to tell her to stop asking that I will let her know if things change but I know that would make her upset.

This didn't used to annoy me until I hit my due date, but now that I am 3 days late, I find the questions very anxiety provoking. Especially when people tell me what day they think she'll be born! My inlaws are the worst: they sent my husband an angry text because "we have been patient, but now we need to know what is going on." There is nothing going on until we are checked in at the hospital!

This exactly. Before my due date I would've told you what was going on and after I will too. My MIL acts like we are keeping secret pregnancy secrets from her. Like somehow because I'm overdue I know when I'll go into labour.

I can totally see my in-laws do this as well. Possibly because DH isn't exactly the most communicative with his folks, but still. What part of "we will let you know when it's time!" is so hard to understand??

(I'm only 38weeks along. I know there is time for this child to appear. That being said: I'm so done and ready to have this child!!)

sgriffin0127

I totally feel the same way!!! Everyone keeps asking me how I am feeling everyday in hopes that I say I'm about to push out my baby lol. So annoying. I love that people care, but jeez!! Let me breath!

KPatzbaby

I 100% agree! I'm due on the 21 and everyone is like "oh you haven't had him yet," "I can't wait to meet him, can't you make him come now." I want to say "Sorry I'm not meeting your needs!" Maybe with a few other choice words. It's so frustrating like I don't want to meet my baby boy! He will come when he is ready!

Most of hubby's and my friends/family are in different states, so he sat up a Facebook group message and said he'll post updates and everything in there. We have a couple people that aren't on FB, so they have been bothering us, but everyone else in that group has been quiet because they know he'll update the group as soon as anything happens. Maybe you could do something similar? You could also set up a group text which would accomplish the same thing.

MusicEBA22

I should add that hubby is a big offender of this too. We work different shifts, so we're only together from midnight to 8am. He calls and texts me several times a day to see if anything has changed. It's sweet that he's so excited to be a dad, and there are way worse things to complain about, but seriously dude, you'll be the first to know as soon as something changes!!!!

BabyLoto

People keep asking me how I'm feeling. I dunno. I feel fine. How am I supposed to feel? Because if I was feeling like I'm going into labor, I wouldn't be here right now. lol

bnwillia3

Haha I spoke too soon!! My due date is today - I've received three FB messages/comments, four texts, and one snap chat asking where baby was!! My in laws get into town today and we are seeing them for dinner...Lord, give me strength to deal with the many questions to come!! @-)

cplanker

Oh so with you all!!! 40w5d today and beyond ready to have this baby !!! The constant texts/calls/comments, although I know are out of concern and care, are just driving me crazy. At this point in pregnancy if I go into labor i will be screaming from the roof tops on how excited I am.

lesliecosta

When people say "he'll be here soon" I really want to just say "no shit". haha
