DH: "..are you in labor??"

reygee66 · May 2011

I'm sure this is all over the boards, but: Welcome to May!

Now..onto what I was saying. Does anyone else's DH or SO constantly ask this question? "Are you in labor?" It's rather amusing, but can be frustrating as I've had few contractions. I cramp a heck of a lot, but nothing more than that. If LO kicks a little too hard, I'll make a face and this question is immediately popped. lol I was just wondering if anyone else gets to hear this question almost daily.

..as you can tell, I'm bored. My DH went out of town last night and won't be back for a couple of hours. The pets are being lazy and I have nothing to do..!!!

I get this some from dh, but my mom who stayed up here this weekend to help me clean up my house was much worse. I have been having a lot of cervix head butting and leg cramps and anytime I ouched she would like stop what she was doing and look at me. It was kind of funny.

My DH is totally the opposite. I tell him I'm having a contraction and he says, "Oh, it's just BH. You're not in labor." Or I told him that I lost my mucus plug and he goes, "Nah, it could just be discharge." lol. Clearly he's in denial about becoming a father.

Oh, geez! Lol, what to do with our DHs!? It's funny that you mentioned him being in denial. I made the mistake of saying that to my DH one night-- during an emotional outbreak for me. And, he now holds that I said he would be a bad father-- which I never said, lol. I swear, he's getting more moody than I am!

If I mention any discomfort or BHs my H says "No! Not yet - you have to wait until May 6th!" His B-day and his father's b-day is May 6th. As if I have any control over this. I know DH is joking - sort of - but he'd love for that to happen.

FIL sends e-mails everyday - yesturday was famous people born on May 6th and then we wrote - our last name, our last name & our last name?

MIL keeps pestering me over what my doc says about a May 6th possibility and keeps saying "it HAS to be May 6th." She keeps saying I'll have to eat spicy food that day and I should have a big arguement with DH and throw a vacum cleaner at him because that's what happened with ILs and she went into labor with H. Indifferent

I'm over hearing about this damn May 6th thing - too much pressure. They make me feel like if I don't have this baby on May 6th I'll have failed the whole family.

My DH is the same way. The way LO is positioned she likes to wedge herself up against either side of my hip bones and it usually causes shooting pains down the inside of my leg, I assume from a pinched nerve or something. I'll just be standing up or walking and all of a sudden I get this excruciating pain and I'll yelp or something and usually lean on the nearest object because I can't put pressure on my leg at that point. DH is always like "are you okay?! Are you in labor?!" No lol, just LO being a pain, literally. I keep promising him I wont make him guess when I am really having contractions.
