Feeling stressed-vent

MrsSRMrsSR member
in 3rd Trimester

I know this is dumb, but I can't help it.  I'm so tired of people asking if the baby is here, if I'm making progress, etc.

My mom calls me EVERY day to see if I'm making progress.  Am I a doctor?  Do I know what progress I'm making?  Should I start feeling my cervix daily so I can update her?

Then she offers all this advice on how to get the baby out.  My due date is a week away, let LO grow.  I'm excited and anxious for her to be here too, but come on now. 

I have anxiety as it is and I feel pressured to hurry up and have her.  I know it isn't in my control when she will come, but still, with everyone asking and nagging, I feel like I need to hurry up and have her to please them.

    Yup. It's pretty annoying. I am getting this and I am still 2 weeks away from my EDD.. I just start ignoring message and calls and people get the hint. Then they start calling DH and he finally tells them to stop asking and we will inform everyone when LO comes.. I still have two weeks ( or three if im late ) so CHILL..

    but noone really gets the hint. lol

    yea, as if you wouldnt call your mom and tell her if you have made any progress or if you are going into labor!  Im sure she will know when there is any news!  Sorry, you have to deal with that.

    I can sympathize - my mom and sister have been asking me for the last week what kind of progress I'm making and if I feel "different".  I told them they would know when I have the baby - it's not like I can hide that!
