Who isn't interested in sharing the status of their cervix with the world. Because I'm pretty sure my mom is crushed that I don't immediately call her after having internals.
If you're into sharing that stuff, cool, but can't a girl have just a *little* privacy if she wants it???
Re: Please tell me I'm not the only one
UNDERSTOOD! My family is the kind that share, but I learned my lesson after my first exam. My sister was going to throw a "Baby Sprinkle" for me, and I had to tell her that the doctor put me on travel restrictions. I made the mistake of telling her about my progress thinking that it was a personal thing that she would keep to herself. The next day I get a text from my BF saying (keep in mind she's never been pregnant) "So I hear you're 50% dilated!" She probably doesn't know the difference between being dilated and effaced. I wasn't about to tell her either!
All I tell my family now, is that my doctor appt went well and baby is doing fine with a strong heartbeat when they ask. I refuse to have my lady parts talked about by family and friends. If your mom is still asking, I'm sure she'll stop soon enough. Hang in there!
You are not the only one!! I share bits and pieces on FB like if I've hit a number milestone-woo hoo half way there that sort of thing. But I don't think I would share woo hoo baby is half way down my vagina! lol
I love my mom and I would have no problem telling her this stuff.... It is who she will tell that causes a problem.
Ugh, I'm right there with you. And on the flipside, I don't really care what other women are at either. At least not anyone I know IRL. MH gave me the update he had received from his brother that our SIL (who is due 4 days before me) is 1 cm dilated. I was basically like "Erm, good for her?"
Edit: Words
My CO-WORKERS regularly ask me how dilated I am. I'm not close with them at all. Plus, they ask this in front of male co-workers. For some reason I can't bring myself to say "I don't feel comfortable sharing that information" so I just mumble something like "Uh, I'm not sure."
