Overly Emotional

Let me start by saying this could definately be me just being overly emotional and sensitive, but I feel like no one around me, not even DH is concerned about me because they are so excited about our baby.

This is my first pregnancy and I am super nervous about L&D! I want my baby girl here just as bad as everyone else and I love her with all my heart but I can't help being scared. I mentioned to DH yesterday I was having VERY mild cramping and he calls his mom right away who proceeds to tell his whole family. So now I am having a flood of emails, calls, and people stopping by (I work with some of DH relatives) to check and see if I am still cramping or if I have gone into labor. I know they are excited but it all feels so excessive, I feel like hour upon hour someone has to "check" on me. Even after I explain they stopped and I don't think labor is going to happen, they won't let up.

 Well DH had jumped on this band wagon and I can't help but snap at him because 1. he cause this by telling his mother and 2. I am frustrated because I have answer then same questions all day long.

I go to the Dr. Office twice a week because I have GB and they do an NST one Tuesday and I see a doctor and Friday is just an NST. Well DH decides he is coming and is going to "demand" I see a doctor and get my cervix check! WHAT?!? For one I was JUST checked on Tuesday (2cm dilated 50% effaced) and if I were having contractions it would show up on the NST. For two it is MY BODY and getting check hurts (I have a cyst they are removing after I give birth) and Three getting check can introduce infection therefore I don't feel like I need check TWICE a week.

So he is now not speaking to me because I told him no that wasn't happening.

I understand that this is his child whom he loves and is concerned about, but I feel like everyone is forgetting the fact that this is MY BODY and I have to experience labor by myself. Just feel unsupported. :(

Praying this is our take home baby. STICK TURKEY Mommy will miss you everyday my beautiful angel. We love you Lilypie Angel and Memorial tickers M/C on 1/05/11 at 11 weeks.

Re: Overly Emotional

  • Tell him that unless you've been admitted to the hospital in active labor, he needs to tell his mother as little as possible. And if he doesn't you'll be forced to take drastic action.

    Currently I'm surprisingly calm considering the fact that my husband is going to be inviting all of his foreign co workers (3-4 men) to our house for Thanksgiving dinner. Oh, and I'm scheduled for a r c/s on Nov 15! Thank God my mother is flying in for the week of Thanksgiving to help us out!
