Aargh! It's started already :-( any news?

[PumpkinPie2013]

Well I'm 39+4 with dc1 and people have already started with the 'any news?' 'any signs yet?' etc.

Perhaps the worst is when I'm face to face with people and they say 'have you had the baby yet?' Erm NO!!!! If I'd had it my stomach wouldn't still be massive and I'd have a baby with me

I know they probably mean well but I've taken to just ignoring phone/messages or saying 'no'.

I've had some aches/stabby cervix pains/feeling sick etc. But just don't want to say to anyone.

I know I'm being miserable but I'm fed up enough with the aches and pains, swollen feet, my insides feeling bruised etc. Nobody wants this baby out more than me but it will come when it's ready!!

End of rant!

I dont believe anyone stood infront of you has asked if youve had the baby.

tell them they'lll be the first to know. thatl shut em up.. then text them at 2 am saying ooo i think i felt something.. thatl also shut em up

I'm 39+4 too and have had lots of people asking as well. I find it quite nice though and to be honest I think they are just trying to make conversation, not like we have much else going on to talk about! Think how lonely you would feel if no one was showing any interest? Though someone said to me yesterday 'are you still here?' Which I found extremely bizarre. I'm not going to disappear when the baby is born? Lol

youre honestly they have!! I think it's that they don't know what to say so end up saying something really stupid!

peeapod I might try those suggestions

super the 'are you still here?' Made me smile - of course you're still here and will be after birth! It's another very daft one people come out with!

i feel your pain pumpkin! i'm 40wks today and for the last week people i hardly know that well have been texting and sending facebook messages! any sign? felt like replying...'er well if you really want to know i had a bloody show this morning...wanna pic of it?'

i know it's people showing an interest, but when i know, they'll know. luckily today most messages have been good luck and hope things happen soon for you / give us a shout if you need anything. i've resorted to not replying to the 'any sign' messages unless they are very close family or friends!

good luck for when it happens, and rant away, preggo prerogative! :) xx

Thanks Janie best of luck to you too

Youre There is a mum in my ds class exoecting twins she's 37 weeks & bless her enormous... Yet the teacher actually asked her on Friday if she'd had the babies yet....!

Smile, nod, ignore!
