If I get one more text asking me...

ShariJenn

if I'm still pregnant, I'm going to shut my phone off.  My dad is the worst.  He keeps iming me, texting, and calling me multiple times a day saying "So????" Seriously dad...you'll be one of the first 2 people I call.  JEEEZ!  It's hard enough sitting here like a ticking time bomb, I don't need a constant reminder.

Right there with you! And its my dad that's pestering too! Finally I was like " I am still VERY pregnant, I promise you will know when LO is here". I try to take longer and longer at responding because it is getting repetitive, but I don't want to make him worry if I take TOO long to respond.

My doula is the only one I tolerate texting me like this. It is more of a check-up from her. I would turn my phone of, but I would be afraid to turn it back on, lol.

My mom keeps coming up with random excuses to call me. I think she called me 3 times yesterday to ask or tell me something completely random; but I know it's really her checking to see if anything is happening yet.

This didn't bother me until today. Today, for whatever reason, my phone and email have been going crazy. First of all, it's from people who would absolutely know if there were any changes from 10 minutes ago. Secondly, can everyone just calm the eff down? I still have 3 days to go. Texting/emailing/calling me incessantly is going to get you nowhere!

I think I'm cranky because I have heartburn. Heartburn is annoying!

Yea, I was trying the whole waiting to respond.  If I wait too long, he moves onto the phone calls and if I don't answer that, DH's phone is next lol.  I get that the worry of a parent never goes away...but give me a break! lol

I've never had so many texts/calls in my life!!  The constant ones from my mother are killing me - you will be one of the first to know, don't worry!!!

I know right???  Last night SIL called to "check in" and DH told her we gave birth to quadruplets over the weekend.

I posted a pic of my daughter that I had taken this morning as I was dropping her off at school and a friend commented with, "No baby yet?".  Well umm, no.  It would be really hard to be at the hospital having a baby and dropping my kid off at school at the same time so no, no baby.

People really do need to relax! i feel like everyone else is freaking out except for my husband and I. What I don't understand is... that the people who are constantly calling and questioning are the ones who don't answer when we call them! And then take forever to call back! If they're on alert, why don't they answer? Makes my blood boil! Stop calling then! Grrr!

MIL finally stopped texting and calling. I think she realized she was wrong about her guess date. (She had it in her mind the entire pregnancy that last week was going be the week.) She didnt pester me on friday or all weekend, and so far she hasnt today!

MommyMelRN

My dad is the worst!  He knows he is going to be the first to be called, he and my step-mother are driving here from CT when they know for certain it is go time...no one else wants to know until after the baby is born (my MIL thinks she'll worry too much waiting...I think that is the general consensus with the rest of the family.). I love talking to him, I love how excited he is, and I'm so happy they are coming to help us...but I'm already antsy enough!

My mum keeps posting pictures of me as a baby on Facebook, tagging me in them, and saying "tick tick tick" as the caption, and "tick tick tick" as her status. Driving me nuts.

I have to be at my moms house because it is closer to the hospital and drs and I dont feel like driving over and hour 2 times a week for NSTs and appointments. So I get the how are you feeling every morning  and when she gets home from work. I so badly wanna scream I am still contracting but it aint time yet.

I've had multiple texts from friends that are simply "have you popped yet?" Umm...no...not yet, this balloon is still very much in tact and DH will send you a text message to let you know if something is happening. Seriously people, do you all really think we'll have this baby and not tell anyone?

Ditto! I finally locked my wall and just posted "NO the baby is not here, No your not an exception, please stop asking, YES if there is a change I iwll let you know. For now, THAT IS ALL"

Seems pretty effective, and I just dont answer texts about it any more, I change the topic, or just dont respond. I started getting them around 37 weeks, and now that I am over 40 i get them so much, I dont even bother checking when my phone beeps any more..

Good for me I am at least 450 miles from my closest family member! so no one can surprise me! And i was set up for my induction today (it will be thursday) so that seems to have people backing of 100%!

Good Luck!

It's the in-laws for me. Calling twice a day and texting in between those calls. And god forbid we don't pick up the phone or text back quick enough. Super annoying. I informed them Friday we will not be calling anyone until LO is born. I want to have some alone time with my DH and LO. They're upset but tough it's my choice. I don't want all kinds of people in the waiting room and I want to make sure we get alone time and I can get cleaned up after.
