41 weeks pregnant = no sense of humor (Vent)

I'm 41 weeks today.  My aunt came over to watch DS while DH and I went to my appointment.  She started the visit asking how things were, do I think baby is coming soon, blah blah useless questions.  Then she told me I look miserable.

And it wasn't in a way where she was feeling badly for me and wanted to acknowledge my discomfort...she just said it.  And I was pissed.  Not to mention, I think I look pretty okay all things considering.  I was showered, dried hair, makeup, jeans and a nice top - pretty pulled together, and DH agreed (well, he better have! he knows better!!) lol

THEN. after a disappointing appointment (except that LO is doing great!) finding out that I'm still 1cm and only 50% effaced and can't get in for an induction until tuesday evening at the earliest, she says "1 CM! That's like NOTHING!"

Seriously!?! I told her that her comment is NOT making me feel any better and that I'm already on the brink of mental breakdown.  So, hopefully, she finally realized that she needs to maybe speak a little more gingerly in my current state of mind (and pregnancy)!! She quieted down but never apologized or acted more comforting.  I just have zero patience for anything but "you are beautiful and wonderful and amazing." Ah well....

    That is SO annoying.  My dad kept telling me how bad he felt for me toward the end of the pregnancy because he said I looked exhausted.  I finally snipped at him and told him "you know what really helps my echaustion?  Being reminded of how awful I look constantly".  That shut him up.

    I don't understand people sometimes. I probably would have been snarky and said "what do you expect me to look like at 41 weeks pregnant?!"

    I totally understand...didn't have my LO until 41 weeks 6 days. And I'm so happy I waited until she was ready and wasn't induced. Focus on the fact that your LO WILL be born and you WILL NOT be pregnant forever! Enjoy the little time left before you have a new baby in your arms!
