3rd Trimester
Grrrr, my friend is irritating me! Am I just being hormonal???? (long)
Ok, so let me start by saying that I had BH contractions (really really strong ones) every 25 minutes for over two hours on Monday and finally went to L&D just to get checked out and make sure everything's ok. So my dr put me on pelvic rest. Then Monday afternoon I come down with that stuffy nose crud that comes with the first cold front of every season...so I'm laying on the couch Monday afternoon feeling like crap when my friend says she wants to do a Girls' Night In on Sunday evening. That's fine with me, so I say "Where?" because there are like 5 of us that all hang out together. Her response? "Umm, who else doesn't live with their parents?" The answer to the question is that I'm the only non-loser who has my own place aside from one girl who lives in a TINY apartment. She expects my sick, pelvic rested ass to clean my house up and host a Girls' Night In because she's bored? I tell her that I can't do it this weekend because I'm sick!
Then, yesterday, she tells me she wants to go to RenFest as a group. Renaissance Festival comes to the Houston area every year for like 7 weekends through October and November. My dr has told me she doesn't want me to leave a 50 mile radius of the hospital after 32 weeks, which is the weekend of October 16-17. I am already going w one group Oct 9 and then w my mom Oct 16. She can't go October 9 because she has work, and when I tell her I can't go again she tells me to just ignore my Dr's advice, that I'll be fine! This is the girl who wouldn't even leave the house during her 3rd Tri because she was "too tired" and followed every single piece of advice the Dr gave her to the letter!
Finally today she asks me how my DH is doing w the whole "no sex" thing bc I'm on pelvic rest. I tell her that he's being totally understanding and that he understands that this is what's best for me and the LO. She's like, "Just wait til that 6 wks after Dylan is born, he won't be so understanding. My husband was nagging at me after 2 wks!" Just to be clear, her husband is a selfish jerk who doesn't give a damn about anyone but himself. I was finally just like, "Ok, I'm going to go take a nap." bc I didn't want to listen to her anymore. I was so pissed by this afternoon that I just wanted to drive to her job and kick the crap out of her!
Am I just being a prego or is she crossing the line?

It sounds like you need some new friends.
How old are these people?
Good luck!
That would annoy me too.
I have a friend that would constantly tell me that my baby was going to be born in September (for the record, I'm not a fan of the month for personal reasons...and I really want this baby in October, and am seriously terrified of her coming any earlier than 1st for health reasons). She would say that to me every time I seen her, and I know she is just joking around just to get under my skin...but why would someone do that if they know it seriously freaks you out? I've distanced myself so I don't get worked up over it, and it's been good. Then last week she texts me asking if I've been having contractions. I haven't answered her back, but once the 1st comes...then I will.
So yeah, distance is good.
