Slight Vent: Tired of being harassed about cord blood

I get it. It's important.

Whatever it is that I have decided, I don't want emails about it, phone calls about it, FB in box messages about it and even twitter messages about it! I don't want to go to a Labor Day bbq and be put on the spot about it while I'm buttering my corn on the cob. Neither does DH. I had no idea that so many people in my extended circle were cordblood missionaries.

add: I'm also getting texts about it as I sit here on my couch, bumping away. Obviously, ignoring them isn't working. I may have to send out an all points bulletin about my cord blood AND my placenta (bc people have asked what I'll be doing with that too... Sigh)

  • That is like being harassed about breast feeding. I am pro-bf, but whatever a woman chooses to do with her boobs is her business.. and I wouldn't ask her about it while she was eating...

    Sorry girl. I think it just gets worse after we have the baby. People like to be all up in your grill about everything.

  • it is relentless! I think they pay mega $$ to the bump so that's one reason we get it. But seriously. This is how they prey upon you!

  • Yeah, it's such a weird issue.  Especially because it costs a ton to save it, and it really isn't going to help your baby.  If anything, it MIGHT help a future child, MAYBE KIND OF.

  • HA! glad i'm not alone in this. I will persevere and just continue to ignore everyone. ;)
