I am going to verbally assault

mochalattemama · August 2013

the next person who says "baby yet?"

Yeah, we had her. We just elected not to tell you.

WHERE'S MY MILKSHAKE?

How's your day, bumpies? Let me be your rock.

Like I said yesterday, I'm suprised you haven't stabbed someone yet. I'm sick of the look of horror people get on their face when they see my belly. I'm pregnant! Not growing an alien out of my stomach. Stop looking at me!

catskitch · August 2013

only verbally? I'd punch them wherever it hurts the most

mochalattemama · August 2013

I've been trying to be OK with the annoyances, but I just really love when distant relatives who haven't been concerned at all with the pregnancy up until this past month are bombarding me with Facebook messages, texts, etc.

I can feel my face turn immediately into a scowl every time I leave my house. I used to be so happy. LOL

JBear02 · August 2013

Ugh, I'd rip someone a new one! Also, friends of mine are all convinced I'm going to go "Any time now!" because I'm "So huge!"

I'm not even 38 weeks yet, people. Calm your damn selves down and kindly fluck off!

piperjayne · August 2013

My dad called me this morning and I ignored his call because I just don't want to answer questions. I'm sure now he thinks I'm having the baby or something. Whatever. I'm not even due for a week, leave me in peace.

sarymonster · August 2013

15 text messages a day- all say baby yet?
Yes, I had a baby and elected not to tell you even though for the last 2 weeks I told you every time you're on the list for an announcement.
People who are past due don't want to be reminded of such every day. Oh, and my fav- do you feel any closer?? yeah, totally- any minute now I'm going to shoot this thing out and then I'll text you.

CaliforniaDream87 · August 2013

I guess this doesn't bother me as it does others. My due date is 6 days away. People are curious. It's really NBD.

EmR22 · August 2013

You are calmer than I am and I'm only 37 weeks. If I don't answer my phone or call my parents back they assume something is wrong and I'm in trouble. Which is amusing because I have a RCS and they are taking care of my older kids so if something is wrong I would call them. Every voicemail ends with "we are worried you haven't called back yet" Yes mom, sorry I cleaned the house, took a shower, took a nap, left the house etc and couldn't immediately answer my phone. The best part is she leaves that message on our home phone and then calls my cell and leaves a message then calls my home phone again to say "well I tried your cell" because you know it's appropriate to take a cell call in the library or in the middle of your kids doc appt.

That's how I initially felt but now that I am also disappointed that she is not here, I don't like to be reminded. I really didn't want to be induced and we're coming around that corner now.

edenrivers · August 2013

I went 41w w/my son. It was awful. Everyone was calling me & my mom, even she was annoyed!

alijeff2313 · August 2013

I'm so tired of the "Are you sure there is only one in there?" or the "hey, did you know your pregnant?" no sh*t sherlock... I see basically the same clients every day and I swear the same ones say "Oh you're still here?" every time they walk in. No...I am just a figment of your imagination...and I still have 2 weeks left

Marvel1013 · August 2013

My FIL is bugging te shiiiit out of me. Everytime I get up to go pee he asks if I'm okay or if something's happening. NO, NO IT'S NOT.. I'm going to the bathroom to try and poop, is that OKAY with you? Plus, if something was wrong or happening he wouldn't be the first person to know. He already asks about my discharge and crap.. Seriously, I don't even talk to my own father about that.. Why would I talk to you about it..

rooftop · August 2013

I'm feeling you situation, I've gotta show some sort of progress by Monday or they're starting to talk induction. If that happens there goes the $5000 we paid out of pocket for the midwife. I'm hating the "weren't you due already?" or the wonderful "why don't you just have her already?"... cause I'm sooo choosing to keep her in. Whatever

ktballz · August 2013

Yesterday was my due date and my MIL and her whole family kept reminding me that LO should make her appearance on time so MIL can spend as much time with her as possible. Umm babies will come when they come, stop acting like I have control.

ktbear9512 · August 2013

I am right there with you. I keep trying to tell myself that people are just excited for me but it's hard to stay calm when people keep asking me every 5 minutes! Also every time DH has called his mom in the last few weeks she has gone into full on panic mode, ready to get in her car and drive to the hospital rightthisminute. I just have to laugh.

caramia582 · August 2013

I am going to verbally assault the next person who says, "you must be so miserable" or "you must be so done!". It's like they are taking pleasure in my pain. And what if I'm not so miserable or done?? (although I am). It particularly annoys me when my MIL says it, not sure why.

lydsyjane · August 2013

Here, here. I'm sick of "you're still here?" when I'm working.

And I don't feel good today. Been lying in bed all day.

caramia582 · August 2013

Ugh my mom does this. Every time I call her I get a frantic answer like, "Hi What's going on???"

Edit: Meant to quote Ktbear

lyndz333 · August 2013

I feel for you ladies! I work in a school and every time I see the custodian she says, "No baby yet, you're going to be pregnant forever!" Yeaaaahhh, thanks for that. Funny thing is, my due date is still 6 days away. Not months but still, she's got some time to cook yet. Gimmie a break!

This exactly, it used to not bother me until now that I'm overdue then it's just adding onto the anxiousness and its annoying especially coming from people that know they will be told when it does happen.. I tell my DH I love being pregnant and if I could lock myself inside with no communication from everyone I would be fine staying pregnant another week

I literally just got this 30 seconds ago from a co-worker! I'm not generally a mean person, and I love my co-workers dearly... but I seriously wanted to say... "no, I am just a figment of your fucking imagination, and this belly that you see, yeh that's fake too." 38 weeks people... I still have at least two more weeks of this (unless she comes sooner).

AHHHH!!

UGH!! @mochalattemama I don't know how you haven't seriously hurt someone yet!

kaylababy5 · August 2013

My doc wants to induce me Saturday since I will be a week overdue then. Every day that I am overdue I drive myself a little more crazy. The "baby yet?" Texts start at 8am and continue all day. In the hospital my phone will be on silent and I will just check it every once in a while.

I had the opposite problem. I worked until 39 weeks 2 days and on my last day everyone was giving me a hard time for taking time off so early and I was like I'm due next week.

MynaBird · August 2013

Last week a coworker trying to schedule a project called my office and asked, "Do you think you're going to have the baby next week, or will you be able to work on this?" Gee, I don't know. Let me check my calendar to see where I penciled in "Have Baby Today."

KQuinonez · August 2013

Yeah I am 40 weeks tomorrow and its my last day of work. Every time someone comes in they are like I thought you would have had that baby by now. Yeah I had it and I just missed work so much I cant stop coming. Its hard enough being patient with this baby let alone all these idiots.

AACaHa13 · August 2013

I went for a walk with my mom last night and a few neighbors HAD to say something about being pregnant still. I had a meltdown. Why on earth do all of these people come out of the woodwork to ask stupid questions that they know the answer to? No, the baby is STILL not here yet, hence the friggen BELLY people. I just don't get it because I am not that person who sees pregnant women big or small, to comment or even ask questions. In fact, I don't think I have ever approached a random pregnant woman! I never would've thought so many strangers would ask questions or share their opinions. My mom and husband both tell me that "I just don't know how to take people because I am big" WTF... THAT doesn't make me feel better either!

I am hormonal and uncomfortable and people need to leave me alone unless they want to be nice.

I did have one woman say te perfect thing to me and I almost kissed her. She said "Wow you look absolutely amazing! You are so small and haven't gained any weight except that cute little belly!" I know she was lying but it made me feel really good.

Hug this lady. She rocks!

JilllyBean · August 2013

What's weird is, I find the people harassing me the most are moms, so women who have been in this situation before. Do they not remember how annoying it was?

mochalattemama · August 2013

Yeah, and I just love when people ask "why didn't you just have a c-section?" Like, even if I were to have the ability to opt into a c (which I don't), why would I prefer surgery over vaginal birth?

People really believe you can just say "hey Doc, can you go ahead and cut this kid out on the 30th because it is convenient for me? Thanks!"

JaymeMac · August 2013

I had a co worker call me fatty for the second time in the last 2 weeks today. I swear if that bitch didn't look like a linebacker I'd take her down. Grrrrrrr
