pressure - no control...vent

It has actually started to annoy me when people are like - are you going into labor? When will he/she come? Are you ready? How are you feeling? Especially from family members who are super anxious for the baby to be born.

 

I'm like - DUDE - NO ONE WANTS THE BABY TO COME OUT MORE THAN ME. 

and also - it's not like I'm not going to tell you when it's happening! 

i KNOW they are just excited. but I'm starting to feel like pressure to have this kid when he/she really needs to cook a bit more. 

 

sorry, I'm not a b*tch, I'm just getting tired of it - and everything. 

you ladies rock! I love all the new LOs on the board!

Re: pressure - no control...vent

  • I feel the same way! I'm about to go out to lunch with MIL and I know she'll be sizing me up trying to determine if I'm about to go into labor.  I'm sick of the facebook comments that have started already too . . . I have no control over the situation! Once the baby comes, I'll let everyone know!! argh!

  • I'm completely with you!

    MIL calls me daily to ask if there's a baby yet and then proceeds to tell me how excited she is. Ok first, you'll know when I go into labor, you're not going to miss out on something and second, do you really think I'm not excited. 

    Anyone else that asks how I'm feeling I don't mind, but her asking daily makes my skin crawl!

  • People have been relentless with the questions for me. DH agrees with me that we will not go to church again until our baby's first time going with us!! Church ladies have been the worst.

  • Towards the end of June my mother was telling me I couldn't have the baby because she was out of town, while my brother was telling me to hurry and have the baby because he's out of town this week... Now of coarse my mothers back telling me to go into labor, and my brother is telling me to wait until Saturday!

    I love how they feel I have that much control over things, and that if LO was ready to make his arrival I would ever try to stop that! haha Cracks me up!

  • I have recently discovered that overshare is my friend!  LOL.  Everyone is so excited and basically just wants a quick answer, "yes, I am ready"  "yes, I am excited" ....etc, etc, etc.....but I just figured out that if I start rambling on constantly, they leave it alone a lot faster and start looking for reasons to have to change the subject or leave.....is this bad of me?
  • Hear ya...so annoyed. 

     Top 3 most annoying things I hear repeatedly:

    1. Wow, I bet you are tired of being pregnant.

    2. I bet that she will arrive on this day....

    3. You should eat some spicy food....
