Does anyone else feel pressure when asked 'when's baby due?'

[NZmum40]

Or is it just me?
I hate the question. I feel like it adds an expectation on me / or pressure...or something!

I haven't quite figured out what I feel so if anyone has any input please feel free to add it so I can work on processing these silly emotions!

I'm pregnant with my second at the moment and just give a vague timeframe - early June. My due date is 29th May. The only people that know my actual date are my manager and my immediate fault. I'd recommend doing similar.

The first time round I told everyone the actual due date and when that date came round and I went over, I got lots of annoying messages prompting for news.

Lol yes as I'm going to ask for a c section so I never know whether to say the date or knock a week off as if all goes to plan it will be a different month!!

I just say end of Jan (due 29th). They should know that he could come earlier in Jan or in February!

No really don't care. I just say Christmas Eve, for fun, as it's roughly around then... and if baby doesn't turn up till January then oh well too bad for the person who isn't me.

It's just one of those questions people ask to have something I say I think, just like whether you know the sex, etc.

Nope. Though I was overdue and as I never gave anyone a specific date I was getting daily messages of "when's baby coming" have me the rage.

I vary between saying "end of March" and the actual due date (27th) as I feel like it. This will be DC2, but I never got to my due date last time, so this is new territory for me.
