I'm currently 40+6 with first baby, and I'm on the verge of killing a certain someone.
I've kind of gone into myself a bit - like most women at this point, I'm knackered, uncomfortable, acid-y and grumpy. I've let people know that I'll be keeping it fairly low-key until baby arrives, and that I won't be announcing when I've gone into labour - I'll just be letting people know once baby is here and I've had a chance to recover.
Last week, this person (family member) texted me "ARE WE THERE YET?". I was a bit put out (like, yeah, I'm fine, thanks for asking!), but texted back, "Are we bugger!". The next day, I get another text:
"ARE WE THERE YET?"
I ignored it. About eight hours later, I get another text:
"ARE WE THERE YET?"
I responded after an hour or two that I'd have to kill this person if they kept texting me that, and that they'd know when there was something to know. I got the silent treatment for a few days, then a phone call the day before yday. It was friendly enough - I didn't apologise, they didn't apologise, but I made it clear how much stress/pressure I'm currently under, what with second sweep and induction both being booked in already if there's no progress. I reiterated that I'd let people know if/when anything happened, but that I just wanted a peaceful last few days of my pregnancy.
I thought I'd got my point across, but I just got a text:
"ARE WE THERE YET?"
I'm actually on the verge of lighting a flame-thrower here. Are people normally so fucking pushy when it comes to getting news about pregnancy? AIBU to be absolutely livid? I don't think I'm a mumzilla, but come tf on - I'm finding this really rude and insensitive!
