Come ON already! (overdue rant)

I'm done.  Just done.  Done with the pelvic pain, the sore skin over my belly, the supplements, the high-protein diet, the carpal tunnel, the hot flashes, the false labor...  Just done.  

Random friends and relatives on the internet, stop guessing days.  I was having contractions right until MIL texted that "today's the day!"   They started again briefly, then SIL reported that my 2 year old nephew said "Alexander is coming out of Auntie's tummy!"  (They've FINALLY restarted after 8 hours.  But still not enough to mean anything.)  Either this kid or my uterus are being pig-headed as I usually am.  So STOP trying to tell them what they intend to do.  Also, why are you posting "past due" eviction notices on my facebook and saying "people are waiting on him!"?  No !@#$.  (I know they mean well.  I know they just want to make me smile.  But I get enough of the "get him out already" from my mom and husband.)

Also, Mom and DH - stop jumping every time I seem uncomfortable.  It is usually just hip pain.  Most of the contractions I AM having are either too weak or too irregular to mean anything anyway.  Stop looking at me expectantly every time I have a hard time getting up.  I have a freaking watermelon attached to my abdomen - of course it's difficult to move like a normal person.  Stop saying "OK, it's time for labor now!" like it inconveniences YOU that he's late.

 Lastly, kid, get out already.  Sheesh.

I know I'm just getting grumpy and hormonal, and that everyone means well.  I'm just... grumpy and hormonal and don't want to take it out on people that mean well.

I am sorry. My sister in law over 2 weeks! After awhile she seriously stopped answering her phone, and looking online! I didn't hear or see her from a few days after she was due till when she had the baby. I wasn't bugging her though, but I know a lot of people kept on calling and wondering if that baby was out yet, and she had enough of it.

Mom to 4 cute kids! 8 yo girl 6 yo boy 4 yo boy and new baby boy!

At least you are almost overdue and getting this stuff. I'll be 37 weeks on Friday and I am already getting the "how are you feeling?" and "is the baby here yet?!" texts. It's nice that they are excited/concerned for my and baby's well being, but BACK OFF. Like I wouldn't tell them when the day comes??

I can't even call my friends without them thinking that's why I'm calling. Sometimes I just have a question! My DH is also quite paranoid. I consider every day a test for him. He might actually not believe me when the real deal begins....

I'm going through the same stuff and it's the first time this pregnancy I've been grouchy about other people and their comments. Just leave me alone. Seriously. I'm not in that big of a hurry and neither should anyone else be...it's my body and baby for the love of pete.

It's cute when DH gets excited b/c he thinks it's time...the rest of you...please.

I hear ya. And as PP said, these comments started weeks before I was even due! Now that I'm overdue... everyone is telling me to just get that baby out! Well... I would if I could! And close friends and family asking/making sure we haven't had the baby yet- no. You know you would be one of the first to find out, so if you haven't heard, then on.

Awe I hear ya ! One thing too about all that social pressure is that it apparently (heard it in child birthing class) doesn't help at all because the mama feels pressure and like all eyes are on her which freaks her out and so her labor goes continues being delayed, slows or stops. 

I'm a very blatant person so I'd problly put up a FB status telling people to back off because I love them but their constant reminders irritate me and don't help. XO lol

Perhaps you can just put up a post saying it in a nicer way?

Seriously, do these people think we're keeping our baby a secret?  I feel the same.  He is the same.  We are ready.  And when you text me tomorrow, my answer will be the same.  Today I actually responded to my MIL's daily text "Same." as in, see previous 5 days of replies.

No problem ladies.  I'm always surprised that people don't realize they have this option.  It's just SO perfect for times like this!!  Big Smile
