"Just checking in!"

tmac1022

I am getting bombarded with texts and phone calles of people asking "any baby yet?" or  "how are you feeling?" "just checking in!"

What do you think my move should be:  to stop answering my phone unless it's DH...that OR I might just start sending out a text message everyday to everyone saying that "I'm still knocked up, no baby yet, just in case you're wondering!"

I simply stop taking calls when those start rolling in

I'm totally guilty of this right now! one of my BFFs is going to have her baby girl within the next two weeks and I'm super excited for her to have an outside baby! We're 8 1/2 weeks apart gestationally, so its kind of a milestone for me as well - plus we've been able to share stories/experiences this whole time.

I DO realize how annoying the texts and phone calls must get & I'm going to stop texting her and FB posting on her wall now, I swear!!

I'm at that point too.  When its after work, I normally don't answer the phone but if they send a text, then I'll reply.

I personally just wouldn't answer the phone unless it's DH or someone I know isn't going to say that.  Then again, I'm the queen of screening my phone calls...

lol, I don't answer my phone calls but I do reply to texts but it's so annoying! I think I'm alos going to disable my fb wall bc i can just feel it coming... the bombarding wall comments! i try to have a good attitude about it bc i know everyone's just excited but how many more times can one asnwer the same questions over and over?!

Look on the bright side...at least you have people that care how you & the baby are doing. I can't tell you the last time I had someone other than a coworker or the doctor ask how I was doing.

I have a friend thats pregnant, I have left her multiple messages on her fb asking how she is doing & feeling over the last couple months and have gotten zero response. Not even once has she asked how I am, and I am due months ahead of her. Pretty selfish if you ask me... My caring is pretty much ended.

I hear ya! I got a text at 7am this morning saying "Has David arrived yet?" I was so mad, no he hasn't arrived, and thank you for waking me up on one of my last days ever to sleep in lol!

Exactly this....but I too am the a HUGE phone call screener.....I can't help it!

I'm getting those too & am a week behind you.  Ugh.  I have stopped answering my phone unless it is DH.  Caller ID is a pregnant woman's best friend.

I hear ya! I have twice weekly NST's and then once weekly appts with my physician, and I get texts/phone calls/emails after every.single.appointment. It gets really annoying. I would understand if it was just once a week after my doc appt., but really, do I really need you checking on me after every NST when I give you the same answer every time? Its worse since my DH is deployed and I'm alone so everyone is always making sure I'm alive. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the concern, but, I have one person I check in with daily and otherwise I will also inform people when something is wrong, just as I've done in the past.
