MIL and impending birth

I'm very pregnant, due in 2 weeks and every couple of days for the past week she's been asking me if I've 'had any twinges' which is really starting to grate on me.

I'm more of the mind of trying not to think every little feeling is the start of labour, cause I just get dissapointed when it's not! It's our first baby so chances are I'll probably be late, and I'd just like to get on with things rather than be reminded how nothing's happening yet!
AIBU to be annoyed?
And AIBU to either ask her, or get DH to ask her to stop asking me about it?
No one else asks me, it's just her!

*12 days over not 22. That would be hell!!!

I had this and it drove me absolutely nuts. In the end, I was so stressed and overwhelmed with the attention that it was making me ill. I would run and hide every time I heard a car pull up outside my house!

In the end I text MIL (who was the worst offender): “No, nothing but you’ll be one of the first to know as soon as he or she has arrived.”

Complete silence until after the birth! It might have been a bit harsh but god, I felt utterly harassed.
