Omg, so annoying. I feel your pain here. My Aunt, MIL, SIL & everyone else commented on a post I wrote saying "Try this" "You need to do 'xyz' it worked for someone I knew" "go have lots of sex".
1) I'm too uncomfortable to even think about sex.
2) Stop telling me to have sex on social media where my grandma can see...
3) Besides sex do you really think I haven't tried everything in the book?
@mellymar people are definitely coming out of the woodwork to suddenly care.
But telling me to go for a jog???? Are you insane? I haven't been allowed to jog since I think 35 weeks. Lunge walk? Yes let me exhaust myself before labor by exercising for no effing reason. Great idea.
@Serenamarr yeah, the lady that commented on the fb post (P)? She is DH's 'birth aunt' (he is adopted, so his birth mother's sister) and I have met her in person exactly once about 15 years ago. I like her fb personality (hippy dippy like me) and she's cool via web so I let her be a fb friend, but still. Baffles me
these people checking in on you guys are killing me. i cannot believe how ridiculous some of the shit you guys are going through. i think the suggestion of jogging takes the cake. i can barely waddle around the house.
I just talked to my mom about my induction Sat and I was like, "um, what do I do before then? My house is spotless. I guess I could wash the master bedroom sheets again."
She just bluntly goes, "um, no. Rest. You're gonna need it. Sleep or not, lay down."

I'm going through the same thing, I've had about 4 different people tell me on Facebook to start having more sex. I got it, that's how I got into this situation obviously but I don't talk to you.... Why are you telling me this !? Another chick told me I need to start doing jumping jacks. You're fucking kidding right? I'm 41 weeks on Thursday. I am NOT doing jumping jacks!!!
UGH!!! My co-workers (who are all guys, which makes it super weird) keep telling me to have more sex to make the baby come. Or implying it, "You know what makes the baby come, right? Heh heh".
You don't have kids! You've never been 40 weeks pregnant! Until you've had your vagina kicked from the inside, STFU. I will cut you.
What's most annoying is that all these "suggestions" as to what will make the baby come will eventually be right because baby will be ready to be born eventually. Then i'll have to listen to the same idiots say "I TOLD YOU SPICY FOOD WOULD DO IT"... Whatever i do the day before it happens will become the "THING" that did it as opposed to my child being ready to be born.
I'm scheduled to be induced on Tuesday, which is my anniversary. Is it extremely selfish that I don't want to share that date? I'm totally cool with a day before or after. I'm trying everything to go into labor beforehand. I'm 40+1 and still have yet to feel a single contraction.
@Serenamarr dying laughing at that text!!!!!! Still having awesome period cramps. I did waddle this am for 2 miles. It wasn't pretty and I stopped 5 times around town to pee. Cramps got worse now they are back to "annoying" status. I have a whole new respect for my patients that go through this for days/weeks...... Also this bloody show crap is disgusting and I don't want to have it for 4 more days. Did I mention I'm annoyed? Oh yeah. Annoyed. Also everyone is a doctor now..... Telling me to go in based on my symptoms. I don't want to go in and get sent home.

Nope! Not selfish. My bday was three days after my EDD and I could not tell people enough how much I didn't want to share my birthday with LO Of course my penance was that LO came 9 days early, in May!
This is why I can't have her in the delivery room. Very teenagey. Dude I'm not planning the birth of my child around whoever you're obsessing over at the moment.
The jackfruit every time i open tb app pisses me off. Wtf is a jackfruit and why did they choose the most obnoxious fruit possible for the last 3 weeks?!?!

AND - trying to imagine squeezing THAT thru my Virginia is just.... No

@klkonwi creepy indeed! I would never walk up to someone and start spewing random thoughts. I don't know why people think pregnancy is the exception to common sense rules on public decent behavior and conversation.
Y'all need to work on your resting bitch face. I had minimal stupid remarks before I had LO
This. My resting bitch face is in full effect 99% of the time. I would like to think that's why I've only been approached a couple times my entire pregnancy lol
I know I'm a little late to the party but I just read the 'doctor tore my gooch' thread and some of the responses made me LOL. Which was helpful cause I woke up so grumpy today. As a side note, my brother had a teacher at one point named mrs.gooch, and now that I know what a gooch actually is I'll never be able to hear her name in conversation the same again. Anyway to go with the theme of this thread I think I need to start being more vocal. Cause I have all the anger in my head but I don't ever say anything about it. Time for me to start speaking up and working on my resting bitch face.
And I know that I personally have a killer resting bitch face...but that doesn't stop the crap with strangers when they see me walking around holding a newborn. A guy at the coffee shop asked me if I gave birth via "a normal vaginal delivery or a c-section" the other day (and I snapped at him that it was none of his business). But for real, be prepared for constant pestering as you try to maneuver your daily tasks once baby is in tow :-w
I thought I'd venture to my local board to see if I could connect with some philly moms and realized I'm spoiled by the common sense of many of the J15 regulars.

Thanks for the heads up! Thankfully the last name is really common and I took out her first name, so creepy creeper stalkers will have a heck of a time finding this girl and her baby!
That would have been bad if I just posted her full name willy nilly.
I just don't have the patience to be nice to people with dumb posts.., especially those who should know better. The attention whore posts make me crazy. And at almost 39 weeks pregnant, I don't need much more crazy.
I've also decided to never open any threads with the word "help!" In the headline. If you truly need help, call 911, don't post on the bump. I think that will weed out some nonsense..
I appreciate positive energy as much as the next gal, but seriously - some super positive all the time people need to just calm the hell down with their over exuberance. Good gods, girl, chill and let us mope for a minute. :-??

4) I hate them all right now...
At least the gal from fb is someone here in town I worked with and she has been excited the whole time I've been pregnant
She just bluntly goes, "um, no. Rest. You're gonna need it. Sleep or not, lay down."

Not selfish at all! MIL's bday was two days after my EDD and I would've died if LO had been born then! I hope you dodge that bullet!
A pregnant woman is.
Creepy.

How about.... Take a pregnancy test?
