3rd Trimester

Most annoying comment lately

"The baby will be here in God's timing" or "The baby will come when s/he is ready."  Well, duh, yes I know that, but I'm ready now, and those comments irritate me more than help me.  They are not at all helpful or comforting.  Not when there's constant pressure and on and off contractions and everything hurts.  I am ready for it to be time.

Re: Most annoying comment lately

  • How about when people tell you that your pregnancy has flown by so fast! Granted, I do feel like this one has gone by quicker than my previous two, but still...

  • My most annoying comment comes from mothers who know how far along I am and insist on asking if there baby is here yet. No. Pretty sure I'm still pregnant and at 33 weeks I should still be. Don't need a NICU baby again. Thanks for asking.

    ooohh! I hate HATE HATE this! My IL's are constantly telling me how time has flown by..I sure as hell don't feel like it!!!

    And I hate it when previous moms all say "I loved being pregnant!" Yes, I'm sure that when you look back on it now, everything was just fine and dandy...but that was how many years ago?!? My MIL has no sympathy because she "loved" being pregnant, and never had any complaints...must be so nice to forget everything you went through 30 years ago!

    Hopefully no NICU baby for you this time!  I hate when people are standing right there talking to you and they say "You haven't had that baby yet?"  With my last one I started answering with "Well, we did, but he wasn't cute enough so we shoved him back in to cook a little longer."  Stupid question gets a stupid answer.

  • Yeah, I hate when people say both...I am only 33 weeks and I have the crappiest back ever...actually looking forward to pushing this one out...and when people say this pregnancy has flown by...nothing makes my hormones more angry! This pregnancy hasn't "flown by" for me, I am the one that while you are blissfully sleeping with sugar plums dancing in your head, is up making plans to redecorate the bathroom because I am in there so much I am bored with the interior design!
  • I keep getting "oh you definitely are going to go late, you haven't dropped at all!" and the "wow you like tired!" ugggh shut up people!

  • The one that is irritating me the most lately is from our receptionist EVERY morning, "You look SO tired." 

    Ya think???  I get to work at 7am after an hour long commute and no sleep from heartburn because this baby won't drop.  Thanks for pointing that out to me.  Sorry I'm not perky and chipper to be at work anymore.  But if you are really going to point this out to me EVERY day for the next 20 days, I might have to throat punch you.  Angry

    Vent over.

  • I hate when people say "oh, she will come by the end of the week" "she will be here in the next few days" I feel like they are jinxing me into never having this LO!

    This is my third child and I can honestly say, I have NEVER loved being pg. There are parts of it that are great- like feeling the baby move, but overall I'm not a huge fan of the process. I just like the end result. I

  • I've been getting the head tilt.  KWIM??  ::head tilt, sing-songy voice:: "how are you feeling?"

  • I am so glad I stopped working a week ago.  I forgot how annoying the comments were getting.  Everyone has an opinion!  But the worst is definitely "baby will come when she's ready".  You know, that's all fine and wonderful, but it doesn't make me any less miserable!

  • Pretty sure anything anyone says at this point pisses me off. ?I am the crankiest pregnant woman ever the past couple weeks! ?No one can win when talking to me. ?: (

    I don't love being pregnant.  I appreciated it more this time, and tried to enjoy it more, but I don't love it like some people do.  I'm horribly grumpy when pregnant and I hate that people lose all sense of respect around pregnant women.

    I hate that one too.  I just wish people would leave me alone.  And unfortunately, my MIL is the worst.  DH has told her time and time again not to ask that and she does it anyway.

  • yeah i want to sock everyone that says that... that and "It's only two more weeks! I went to 41 though!" I seriously MIGHT have to take maternity leave early so i don't kill someone

  • I'm still working past my due date and starting last week everyone's greeting is "you're still here?"  Yes, I am as you can plainly see.  At least tomrrow is my last day of work, I am not coming back here next week if I am still waiting at 41 weeks.  I don't think I could take much more.

    It also bugs me when people keep saying "oh, I was 10 days late with my first one".  that is not all that encouraging either.

  • the most annoying thing for me is that, it is painfully obvious that my face is filling out. i know it is. i see it in pictures and when i look in the mirror so it bugs be to no end when someone looks me straight in the eye and says, NO WAY! Your face is SO not getting fat....

    Um...yes it is people! lol

  • I hate when I mention to anyone that I'm tired they say.."oh, just wait until the baby comes."  It's so annoying.

  • I have been getting annoyed with people asking me when I'm due.  I know it's an innocent question but I'm just so sick of saying January 19th I could puke.

    I can relate to that...I'm also sick of hearing "You're still here?!?" and "You haven't had that baby yet?!" when I come in to work.

  • I hate that people keep saying to me "oh, I don't think you are going till December 20th" "She is gonna be here before Christmas".  Yeah DUH... I've already told you people like a 100 times that she hasn't turned yet and I'm probably going to be facing a c-section delivery. It isn't a surprise anymore on when she is coming.... get over it!!!! If I could come to terms with it, why can't they?
  • I'm still annoyed with the "how's Baby C today."

    Really?  How do you think he is?  INSIDE.  That question has annoyed me since I announced being pg.  Mostly because there is no real appropriate answer.
