Feelin the pressure! (mini vent)

in February 2011 Moms

Anyone else have family and close friends getting ridiculously antsy or asking "When do you think it's gonna happen?!?" I am grateful that they care so much and are excited, don't get me wrong....but at the same time, it makes me feel anxious and that all eyes are on me. 

For example, I called my MIL after my weekly appt yesterday, (b/c if I don't right away, my phone rings...and rings...and rings). All I could tell her was that I progressed to 3cm, and am a little over 50% effaced. Her response "Oh, well that's ok...i guess...."

Really? Sorry to disappoint YOU.  I am due tomorrow, so DH and I are going insane waiting ourselves. I can't help that LO hasn't come out yet and I already have pressure in my abdomen, I don't need any more!

Thanks for letting me get this off my chest!

    Yes! I get calls, texts, and fb messages everyday! Oh and everyday I show up at work, I get the "omg, you're still here?!" or "what are you doing here?!" Like I want to be at work and not holding my baby or have any idea when it's going to happen! Come on, people!

    OMG.  I can totally relate.  My mom is driving me absolutely crazy.  It's not like this is her first grandchild either!  She's been texting me every day, letting me know where she is in case I go into labor (um, she has one phone number - her cell - so it doensn't matter where she is, as long as she has her phone on, she'll get the call), She;s been posting a daily countdown on Facebook (which thoroughly annoys me because I just KNOW I am going to be overdue...)

    I know this sounds terrible, but her "excitement" just really puts me off and is kind of ruining things for me.My mom has a serious case of making EVERYTHING about her, and this is her way of doing that with my first pregnancy too.

    The other nite she called - relatively late - just to ask how I was doing. I was so annoyed when I saw it was her on the caller ID that I said, OMG! We had the baby already!! I completely forgot to call you! My bad.  I think she got the point, bcuz she has stopped texting me every day.

    This exactly! I can't take it anymore.... I am about to turn off my FB wall and turn off my phone. I think I'm way more of a b*tch than the rest of you though, becuase I'm way more annoyed than grateful that I keep getting bothered.

    Actually, I'm so set on this being a "private" moment for DH and I .. that we planned to not tell our parents or familly I'm in labor.. we're only going to tell them when she's here. Yes, I know.. I win the selfish b*tch award.. but I just can't take the pressure..
