People are driving me batty. (I'm whining.)

Luvvy1Luvvy1
in January 2012 Moms

First, my sister keeps asking if next week will be THE week.  How the eff would I know? 

I'm doing a 24 hour urine collection today (yay) and blood work tomorrow to see if I am spilling protein because the stupid new MA at my docs office recorded my BP really high.  They re-checked it and it was fine, but they still recorded her first reading which I think was way off.  (She was super nervous and well, I have zero confidence in her ability to actually take a correct manual BP.)  My H has been checking my BP and it is perfectly fine.  My legs aren't really swelling all that much (I still have ankles for crying out loud) and it seems so freaking pointless.  And of course now it has my family all up in a tizzy about when I'll go into labor.

The worst part is, she has had four kids of her own so she should know that it is anybody's guess when this kid will be born.

    yeah I have very low patience with people lately. unless I were to recieve some crazy horrible news I keep things like that to myself. family asks how my appointments go, i just say it was good. I won't tell them the progress, because they would be all over me like that. The only progress they will get out of me id "we had the baby," until then it's between Dh and I.

    I just seemed to be a lot more easily annoyed lately over what I know are "little things!"

    Do people really think we have control over when our LOs come? Come on people!! Life isn't like that.

    I honestly think sometimes people think it does work like that.  I guess they think we can will our bodies into going into labor, or they think we're intentionally not letting our babies be born yet.  Yes, having a baby involves a lot of work, but people don't realize that until our bodies and baby's body is ready, there's nothing we can do except induce or have a c-section.

    I've gotten really iritable at people telling me, "Oh, this is nothing.  It'll get worse when baby is born."  I complain to people because they ask how I am and I need to vent.  I know things will be tough when baby is born, but I reserve the right to complain about my current circumstances without feeling marginalized.

    You have my sympathies as well.  People keep looking at me and saying 'Oh, you're never going to make it to January'.  People, I'm 'due' in the middle of January.  Yes, I'm huge, but this is my third pregnancy and I've honestly only gained 25 pounds this time.  I am only measuring at 33 weeks (even though I'm 35), and BOTH of my other pregnancies I went right at 40 weeks.  I will just be getting bigger until this little one comes.  GAH.  Even if I'm 'early', it's not going to be in December, (lol, I 'forbid' it.  See, this is how we 'control' when we have them....;)....).
