Constant message from mother

[SundayGirlB]

Tell me how ungrateful I'm being and give me some perspective. Currently 3 days overdue and getting constant messages from my mum asking me how I am and what I am doing.

At this point I'm over being pregnant, actually not feeling that bad but not really doing much as I've been on leave for 3 weeks and everything is done and I'm tired.

Each message in reply is the same, 'not much, no change fine thanks'. I see her once or twice a week. I should be grateful that I have a mum who cares but it's...annoying. And the fact I'm not doing much makes me feel like a right loser!

Me and my mum have honest great relationship and communicate exactly how we fee. If I need space I tell her. Obviously I have no idea about your situation but try and be honest about how you feeling.

Just tell her when something happens she will be the first to know and in the meantime you need a break from questions

Yes I've been quite honest as we have an honest relationship but it seems to be falling on deaf ears and the questions come in different forms. Keen to nip it in the bud as I imagine it will only get worse once the first grandchild is here!

She’s excited and worried at the same time. Better that than disinterested. Just ask her not to message quite so often and reassure her she’ll know as soon as you have any news.
Can you begin to imagine how scary it is having your own child about to give birth?

Oh god I bet she is on pins!

I think I’d be the same
