...Just absolutely ready...(vent)

I really have enjoyed being pregnant & other than the fact that (I think) his butt is right under my ribs & that I'm having a hard time getting comfortable when I sleep...I wouldn't mind going over my due date...but probably one of the only reasons why I'll be so excited to just have him is the constant calls/texts/emails/fb posts/messages... "is here yet?" "I want him here" <~ (Like I don't want to meet him!) "Now you can have him cause this is when its most convienent for me.." "You need to tell the doctor your over it & induce you so he can come" & Just this morning "Tonight when you get home from work you need to ____________ (fill in whatever old wives tale inducement theory) so it will get you into labor"And thats just from our families... & at work they did a baby board for me...so every single day I hear "You have to have him this day cause I'd win" or "you can't have him this day cause that would mean so & so would win & I can't let that happen" Trust me when my water breaks/i go into labor the LAST thing on my mind is going to be that i didn't go into labor on the day you or so & so picked!! Thank you for letting me vent...

  • I think that adds to your stress and keeps you from going into labor. I read that animals won't labor of we watch them. It makes sense we'd be like that, too.

  • It absolutely does...never viewed it as that way...I need to just start telling people "a watched pot never boils" maybe they'll leave me alone! Big Smile

  • oh i hear you!!  I am now 1 day past my due date and the worst part of all if it is the comments from everyone.  My favorite 2 comments are "have you tried having sex?" - to which i think: um did i ask you about your sex life and did you try having sex with a head in your birth canal?  and "why don't they just induce you?"   and the second was from someone who just had a premie with some complications.  She should get that you want as few interventions as possible.  Grrr.
  • This was me exactly... Down to the board at work and those comments. I was ready to lose it! My LO was 4 days late and When she was born ppl said "it's about time!" hang in there once baby comes that will all be over.
  • Yeah I just lost my Sh!t about this with various co-workers/friends and sent out this link in an email: https://www.haveyouhadthatbabyyet.com/ and as my FB status.

    Childish? Yes. But man did it make me feel better
