To be annoyed by this

I am very close to giving birth (bloody hope so anyway) so I'm prepared to be told I'm BU and I'll put it down to the hormones, lack of sleep and spending half of my time either needing to pee or praying for the start of labour.

But my family have annoyed me so much. One thing I said I really didn't want was constant 'any sign yet?' 'Anything today?' messages. My mum phones me every day, she isn't completely over bearing and I know she's excited but some days I actually just don't want to speak. I wouldn't forget to tell her the baby was here and to be honest I'm not actually planning on telling her if I am in labour. She said she'll check in every day regardless and if she doesn't hear from me she will assume I'm probably in labour Angry

She's now posted on Facebook to all of her friends 'fingers crossed for a baby this week' which was obviously followed by lots of 'oh hope so!' 'Not long now!' Comments. Can't be arsed with it. I'm so annoyed and hormonal. I want to meet my baby more than anyone but it'll come when it's good and ready!! AIBU to be in a massive mood with her?

It wouldn’t bother me , it’s just words on a screen that I wouldn’t actually have to look at . Hope baby gets moving soon

I learned my lesson with DD1 and with my next tw lied about the date. With DS1 I said 2 weeks later than his due date but then he was born at 37 weeks and at a good weight so I'm pretty sure my mum knows I lied and he wasn't born 5 weeks early.
I know it's annoying though. Just put your phone on silent and let her assume you're in labour.
