Vent: GRRR

[dannii87]

I know it's probably hormones, but I'm getting really upset!!

I get texts and emails constantly from people asking if I've had "it" yet... Work colleagues, old friends, people from school, people I hardly know, people who love me - I get it from all directions! These are since Saturday!!!! (Texts & facebook PMs/instant messages);

Mum: "Not texting to annoy you but wondered how you are?"
Colleague: "Any signs?"
Colleague: "I text you on Saturday but haven't heard back, have you had her? If not, how are you feeling?"
Old school friend: "Hey! Not spoken to you for yeeeears! How are things? Have you had baby yet? Want to meet up next week?"
Colleague: "We're taking bets on when she'll arrive!"
Someone I hardly know: "Do you think you'll be early/late?"
Dad: "How's bump?"

I can't take it anymore!! I feel like switching my phone off and telling everyone to f-uck off and leave me alone!

As if I'm not under enough pressure wondering when she'll arrive. I just want to scream that there is still 2.5 weeks to go til my due date but no-one seems to understand that!

I'm not even overdue yet and people are saying she'll probably go over - DON'T YOU THINK I ALREADY KNOW THAT?!

I've still got potentially 30 days to go (if I go overdue) until things start happening, I can't take this for another month!! GRRR it's really upsetting and annoying me.

I know it's probably hormones, but it really is winding me up... The ONLY person who seems to leave me to it is my best friend, she had her son not that long ago and I know she knows how it feels. She's actually understanding that I will let her know as soon as anything happens and has left it there! I love her for that...

How are you lot coping with this? How are you responding to people?

If I reply to the texts I rarely get another reply until a few days later when they ask AGAIN. If I don't reply I get texts the next day asking if I've had her because they haven't heard back from me! I can't friggin' win!!

Aww. I had exactly the same thing. Then i went overdue! One day my OH took the mick as he knew it wound me up! I chased him down the hall and sat on him! He never said anything or told me when other people did again!

My reply "Bog off!" They'll get the message then!

 

[tinkerbell*]

awww i can totally sympathise! its really bugging me!! im trying to forget about the fact that im sue in 3days and im sure im gonna go overdue! the more i think about baby arriving, the slower the day does (they are boring enough as it is) people constantly asking.. "ooo anything yet"... is really annoying!!!! becuase of recent family news, now i am getting "just you hurry up and have that baby" which is really pissing me off big time!!!! i snapped at my mum the other days, and just said "look i'll let you know if im in labour dont worry"... felt guilty but its driving to mad to dannii!!!! hehe!!!

Aww chick!! Tis a pain, I’ve stopped going on Facebook to avoid messages, and half the messages on there are congratulating me on my new arrival?!! WTF?! Don’t know where that started!

Each day I come in to work, I get ‘Oooh you’re still here’ ‘Still pregnant then?’ Thankfully only 3 more days til I can hibernate at home and begin my waiting alone!

At least you have people that care. Most of my friends and family are so wrapped up in there own lives to worry about me . I've got one friend that rings me, talks about herself for half an hour then might manage to ask how I'm feeling, needless to say I don't ring her anymore and avoid her phone calls but as of yet she still hasn't got the hint .

Sorry, got wrapped up in myself there . I'm a hypocrit.

 

[millylillyrose]

awww, your probably just extra irritable hun! I dont get much of that, but a lot of how's bump, how are you feeling, and EVERYONE askes me when im due, i mean people i see 3 times a week! I dont mind too much, just roll off the same old answers week after week.

Apart from being told u look like your having a biff, or having a tiny baby this unfortunatly is another annoyance...

I think your mum and dads txts seem valid cause their asking how YOU are not if u'v had the baby so cut the foogies some slack...

I honestly wouldnt bother replying otherwise ud be there all day, i know that sounds a bit mean, but surely they must realise if you had hd the baby you would of text them...

hang in there, on the days you feel you cant deal with it turn the phone off...

Danni this has been pissing me off for the last week, especially with Due date being tomorrow!
In fact my "old" best friend who by the way i have seen 3 times in 9months has now taken to texting me everyday and asking to come and see me over the weekend WTF, she never wants to see me anymore.

Heres a few of the texts ive had this week

Nannan " you still hanging on"
dad " Owt happend yet or likely to "
Friend " no sign of baby?"
Friend ( i havent seen for 9 months ) " how are you darling keep me informed"
Friend ( last saw 7months ago) " is he here yet?"
" how are you is my future god son here yet"

I know most of these people ( my family) are sending me because they care, but i assure them they are the first to know if i have any sign what so ever, i cant be arsed to be answering texts all day long for every bloody twinge i get.
And has for the friends that just want to peek at my newborn, bollocks to them i wont be texting them back until we have had the first week with our son on our own!!!

This bit really must be one of the most annoying stages of pregnancy!! I went nearly 2 weeks overdue and from around 38 weeks started getting the "So, when are you going to let us meet the baby then" and "Keeping this baby to yourself are you"!! Everyone else acts like they're the only ones impatiant to meet baby when you've been carrying for nearly 9 months!!

Best thing is to try and ignore them - turn your phone off so they all think that you must have your phone off cos you're in the hospital!

 

[nickilubs]

TBH I don't really mind. I know I don't know them that well but its nice that people have a bit of a interest. I love talking about her lol! Im gonna be one of them annoying mums that wont shut up about her beautiful baby! Hehee!

But like Steelgoddess said if it really is annoying you then switch your phone off or just ignore it all keep them guessing!

 

[Mildly]

Tell them you had her two months ago Then at least they'll stop texting

 

[aramintalovegrove]

Record an answerphone message, construct a draft reply text and put on your facebook status...

"Im quietly continuing to cook my baby, please dont ask me when she will arrive I have lost my chrystal ball and its upsetting me to be repeatedly asked to predict something I have no control over. You will find out as soon as she comes but for now I need people to stop asking stoooopid questions and leave me the hell alone"

 

[lea m]

Dannii!!! Have you had her yet or what?? hahaha sorry hun couldnt resist! You know Im only playing! Its so annoying when you only have a few more weeks and they seem to drag and everyone seems sooo suprised that you still havent had her etc! Just think though hun, it wont be long till you have so then you can go bug everyone telling them you have had her, then what she weighs, then details of the birth etc hahaha

My mum and dad are away on holiday and I have had a phone call morning and night every day from my mum asking if I am ok and telling me to hang on until they get back - this I don't mind cos I miss my mum loads and enjoy talking to her BUT last night my mum's best friend (who I never hear from) rang me up to ask me how I am and my Aunty text me to let me know that she is here for me if anything happens and if the midwife said was I going to be late or early!! I mentioned this to my mum and she said that she feels bad being away when she should be looking after me and she asked them to get in touch.

Everywhere I go, people ask me how long I have left and if I think I am going to be on time. I have started to reply with "to be honest everone keeps telling me that they think I will be early as I was with my son, however they also tell me that it's not good to be the youngest in the school year, so I am hoping that I go over so that she is one of the oldest at school" that shuts them up!!!!
