Getting cranky. Tired of people.

I usually avoid the posts here where people vent. But now I get it. You guys get me like no one else, so why not vent? But I'm 39w1d and after 10 hours of what turned out to be false labor contractions on Tuesday, I fear my breaking point is near and can feel my internal filter thinning. Is anyone else annoyed easily to the point where if even 1 more person says something like "what are u still doing at work?" Or "when's your due date again" or "I don't think you've even dropped yet" or "I bet you go two weeks late" you may have to donkey kick them in the throat?
I had a lady tell me today that because my baby is still very active and kicking my right side a lot that I shouldn't expect to go into labor for at least a few days. Is there any truth to that? My doc says if I don't feel movement it's a bad thing (which is what I told this lady) and her response was "well maybe girls are different than boys." For real!? I'm going crazy here. End rant. Thanks for reading.

    Someone stopped me at work and said "omg when are you due, tomorrow?" And that was the first time I ever wanted to cut a customer. I also have had several people tell me to "go home and rest..." so so over it.

    Oh I hate when I hear oh Friday would be good for me. Like shut up I hope whenever I go into labor its inconvenient as heck for you. Also checking to see if I've dropped like they are dang experts. While I'm at it I love my mom but she's so sensitive and wants to be apart of every appointment and every little thing like can your feelings not get hurt with me wanting to going alone with my SO to just a few appointments?

    I'm so sick of people too. Do people think hearing how huge I am makes me feel good? I am aware my belly is gigantic and I'm also aware that my EDD has come and gone. No need to point it out.

    ugh- right there with you ladies. 40+5 and suffering in the heat only made worse by my ever loving family telling me they are tired of waiting. Ya must be so hard on them to not sleep well at night, always have to pee and have your tummy skin stretched beyond normal.

    I texted my husband the other day that I "hate everyone and everything". I felt much better the next day, but the hormone struggle is real.

    I hate everyone right now.  I keep on having people ask me when do I think I'll be having the baby, and then they go on to explain their plans for the week in hopes that I can work around it or something.  My husband is guilty of this too.  Actually I'm really mad at him right now.. he went out drinking last night and I told him I was okay with it as long as he came home by a normal time and made sure he answered his phone.  Well of course when he was an hour later than the time we agreed upon I called him twice and texted him and no answer (btw i'm due this saturday.)  I confronted him about it today and he just acted stupid and blamed his reception, because apparently i'm an idiot and would believe that.

    I'm just so sick of everything.  I feel like i'm being treated as more of an inconvenience for everyone else.  I haven't really had hormone issues this whole pregnancy but i'm starting to feel really, really depressed lately and feel like i'm getting walked all over.

    DH and I were headed home from the hospital with new baby. We decided to order out for simplicity on our first night home. We go to pick up food before going home and am acquaintance comes out of the building to say hey while DH is paying. I should have just rolled the window down instead of opening the door. I was sitting in back with DS and this person commented on how big LO was and felt the need to follow that up with "and you are still pretty big yourself!" He said this as he put his hand only belly and jiggled it back and forth. THANKFULLY, I did not have a cSection, but I did have 20+ hrs of labor, a 2nd degree tear, and an accidental spinal tap during epidural. The ignorant comment didn't bother me nearly as much as the pain of being shook. I was too pained to do anything other than say "don't do that".

    Holy hell!! This was an acquaintance? I'm speechless.

    I was busy trying not to cry when DH came out of the store. He could tell I was uncomfortable, so he quickly said bye and drove us home. I told him once we got home what had happened. He was definitely not pleased. Ugh, I am just glad that pain is behind me. I am still sore but nothing (other than L&D) compares to that first drive home.

    This guy is someone we rarely see or associate with, but we both went to high school with him. He has never been the most thoughtful, and is pretty self-centered.

    Everyone and everything has been pissing me off lately. I have been hibernating in my house just so
    I don't have to hear "how are you feeling" or "wow I'm surprised to see you are still pregnant!" Erg the nerve of people. I still get texts that say " is the baby here yet?" Erg no he's not and you will definitely know when he is stop asking stupid questions, and don't even get me started on the in laws.....

    I'm with you 100% on being annoyed! My neighbor/good friend text me today asking if I went to the doctor today. I told her "no, why?" She then responds about her co-worker due within a few days of me, "Antoinette is 1cm". Well great f-ing good for Antoinette! First of all, she's a mom so she should know not to compare, also she went to the same midwife center I went to and KNOWS they don't do cervical checks. Either way, I responded and said "oh. Cool. Yeah I'm 1cm too" (which the midwife thinks I am from looking through the speculum the other day for a different reason. Argh, just annoyed the crap outta me.

    This! My parents keep saying my son can't come more than 8 days before they arrive (they are coming the day after my due date) and that he can't be more than five days late. Simply because they want to be here for his bris (jewish ritual circumsion). Um hello it's not about you it's about him!!!!!

    Yes, I am ready to scream. I'll be 39 weeks on Saturday, and I'm getting emails from my boss every morning asking me if I'm in (yes, I will tell you if I go into labor, I promise!), text messages from my SIL every other day asking how I'm doing, and last night my MIL had the nerve to remind me that school starts on the 19th (she's a bus driver) so if I could get the baby out before then, she'd appreciate it. Not to mention the pitying looks I get from the daycare workers everytime I walk in the door - and even worse, if I"m 10 minutes late to drop off DD, they assume I've gone into labor.

    Um, I'm not due until the 22nd. And I didn't go early with my first. I'm NOT going to go early with my 2nd. You're driving me crazy and I'm about to cut ALL CONTACT.

    This thread is so on point. I am 39 weeks tomorrow and everyone who keeps making these comments can seriously suck it. I know I'm huge! And I'm uncomfortable enough without you asking how uncomfortable I am.


    THIS....and the thing that kills me is it's other women who say this to me. It's like don't you remember the last few weeks of pregnancy...would you want someone to say that shit to you! As annoying as it is, I can excuse the men of the world that don't understand what it's like to have a watermelon on your crotch, but other women com'on.   [-X

    Yes. Favorite comments of crazy I've recently encountered:
    "Aw, what are you still doing working?"
    "You're so tiny to be due already! Are you sure?"
    "Yeah, so my schedule is pretty busy until Thursday, but your bsby can come any time after that."

    And this: one of my coworkers keeps saying that his weight gain puts him at about six months pregnant, haha. And I have no idea how to respond to this. Like, seriously, if weight gain were the only side effect of pregnancy, it would be a walk in the park.

    The best, though, has been that my husbands interim manager has decided to not schedule him for any hours after my due date. Um, which is insane. We're already counting pennies right now and he won't get paid leave because we work for the same company, and it's ridiculous to just decide for someone when their leave should begin just because it's more convenient to schedule. It's a good thing he dealt with the situation in his calm, diplomatic manner -- because I would have had WORDS.

    That's all for now ;)

    I am typically about 30 seconds away from snapping at a few of my co-workers lately. I get it. I'm sick of getting asked questions you know the answer to, you just do not want to do the work. And you ingnore the fact that I have head phones in. You just keep talking until I answer. I work with a couple of FTMs with babies under a year. They constantly tell me, "I cannot believe you're still here." or "hopefully any day now" I promised my boss I would stay as long as I could. I pray to go into labor constantly at this point.

    I'm so glad I'm not the only one ready to snap. And now that it's closer and my coworkers have a delivery date poll going, including prizes. They've now began doing everything possible to try to get me to go into labor or hold off, depending on the date they guessed. Today a few wanted me to go get pizza with them because they guessed this weekend and think pizza will induce labor. I hope they're right.
    But does anyone know any truth behind "baby will stop moving a day or two before going into labor"?

    If a baby stops moving go to the doctor! That is not good
