WWYD with this entitled drama queen?

[codenameduchess]

My friend is the first woman ever to be pregnant, life is just so difficult for her that less than 4 months in her bump is so big she can't put her shoes on. The poor soul!
She refuses to discuss anything but her PFB, won't nip to the shop for a pint of milk because 'it could damage the baby', yells at anyone who dates cough or sneeze with 20 feet of her and complains all the time about how awful she feels and how everyone should be doing whatever she tells them to on account of being knocked up.

I don't want to be the person to burst her bubble, but as a former preggo I can confirm that other women have done this before and at this stage (and every day since 6 weeks when she started rubbing her upper belly) 'bump' is less baby and more bloat/wind/poop.

Things are going to get a whole lot harder if she's making a song and dance now. I'm sick of hearing it! She never once asked how I was during my pregnancy and i didn't share every detail of my nipples and vag mucus uninvited so why am I being subjected to it??

The woman has already stopped working because she's pregnant. No HG or other genuine medical reasons, I'm not exaggerating when I says I've had EVERY FUCKING DETAIL!

I have muted every form of messaging from her.

Her dp likes to put his hand up her shorts and said it felt warmer and must be the baby

Just spat tea all over my keyboard at that.

Snigger. Please just keep coming on here telling us about her, she sounds hilarious!

I'm only posting here to placemark for the next vag update

Paul Burrell will you leave Meghan alone?

I’m just coming up to 22 weeks and as yet I have no real thoughts about my vagina, let alone thoughts I feel the need to text to people. Maybe I should request an extra scan to confirm I really am pregnant??

@codenameduchess I doubt we'll get an invite to meet the messiah with my filthy toddler

One of my colleagues is exactly how you describe! I wonder if it's the same person.

She rings her partner and says "ickle babba wants to speak to dadda" and holds the phone to her belly. It's bloody hilarious.

She's become the most annoying person ever. It's going to be such a long pregnancy 🙄

Oh my @dalmatianmad how far along is she?? 😂😂

it's a relief being able to vent this to you guys! It might save me from exploding at her 🤭

Think she's just had her 20 week scan. She shouts "pregnant lady coming through "
"Mind the bump"
Fuck off will you and get a fucking grip 🤦‍♀️

At least you'll never be asked to babysit

I’ve got one of these at the moment. She has other children, not forgetting the many angel children she talks about a lot. This is going to be a painful pregnancy for all in the vicinity. At least for this one she didn’t let me know at 2 was gone.

Take pity on her. It’s the hormones. I turned into a lunatic while pregnant too.

@dalmatianmad Jesus. That's a bit much 🤪

Does he dh actually talk to the belly over the phone??

I mean, I was up a ladder with a paintbrush hours before giving birth!
So how are the rest of us who could not walk for weeks before delivery for medical reasons meant to feel reading this?

Ate an entire meal rubbing her belly and talking to 'baby'. Quite awks as she was around 10 weeks so essentially I sat there being ignored by a crazy woman rubbing and talking to her belly while I ate a pizza.

I find this thread quite upsetting really.

I had antenatal depression and this kind of thing was actually recommended for me to bond and cope.

I am happy you are not my friend, god knows what you would say about me.

Also some of us suffered a lot of anxiety and worry during pregnancy, some suffer losses, risk their health.

No pregnancy is the same, I despise this attitude

Has she demanded that whole family gets vaccinated against everything before meeting her baby? Has she posted pictures of every make of pram and given out lists of acceptable gifts?

@MattMagnolia not yet, I'll definitely be ignoring gift lists 😂

She might not even get to use her vag if pfb comes out of the sun roof!

Codename I've no idea if he talks to her belly.
He's a really decent guy and I do wonder what he thinks of this nonsense.
It's so awkward in the staff room, people are starting to avoid her.
She refuses to do certain tasks "in case babba gets hurt" I'm taking checking someone's blood pressure or putting a cannula in someone's arm. And god help us if a patient has a cold or diarrhoea. She won't go near them in case "babba picks something nasty up".

We're talking a qualified professional that should know the foetus can't catch a cold 🤔

No one texts me about vaginas and I’m an expert in vaginas (genuinely) weird that your friend is telling you so much really

@NOTthepinkranger I hope you’ve got “vagina expert” on your ID badge. That would be really cool.

Ugh my SIL was like this, it's just cringeworthy and embarrassing. She's even worse now baby has arrived sadly

Wow, talk about oversharing!

She does sound ridiculous. I'm 32 weeks, not felt the need to tell anyone about my vagina, nor get DH to talk to the bump over the phone yet.

That being said, the comparing thing does make me paranoid. I've had a shit pregnancy and I think people in my office think similarly about me when I have to leave for yet another appointment, or monitoring, or work from home due to pain. I try hard not to bang on about it, but I think because they have children and did not have complicated pregnancies, or have friends with children who did not have complicated pregnancies, and were like superwoman right up until the end, they believe I'm taking the piss or acting like the first woman on earth to be pregnant, which is genuinely not my intention. So it is tough.

All this being said, though, I have done my best to continue as normal and not make excuses and she does sound like she's being somewhat precious and oversharing a lot!

Just spat tea all over my keyboard at that

Did you really though? Does this actually happen??

Could you not say it to her? Like even reply with "You realise this is the 10th text I have had about your vag or what's come out of it? I am officially banning vag talk! I am on a need to know basis and I do not need or want to know that much about you, ever!"

So that might ease off on the vag talk, anything else address nicely as you go. She sounds like a pain though I grant you that
