Did people pressure you to give birth??

OMG, how funny is this....I had that all the time and hated it. I finally quit answering the phone. Its like hello, if I had the baby dont you think people would have known that I did. How annoying is this, and also the final days isnt when you want to be bothered with. I am sorry you are dealing with this and once your baby is here they will all forget about you and only focus on the baby.

I had that, too, but it honestly didn't bother me. My mom and my sister were driving 1000 miles to see my baby, and I knew my mom only had a few days off, so I was hoping just as much as everyone else that he would be here on time! It worked out perfect, though. My son was born on Wednesday at 4:05 pm. My mom actually called me at the hospital at 4:20 (we hadn't called anyone yet) and asked if the baby was born. She said my little sister just knew that he had been. Since he had been born, they got in the car the next morning (the first day of my mom's vacation) and got to Minot just a few hours after I got home Friday. It was perfect! They weren't the only people bugging me about it, though. The girls I worked with, every day when I showed up to work they would tell me that they thought I was already at the hospital because I was so huge and looked so ready to go.

Yep, I had that happen to me too. By the end of my pregancy, everyone around me was bugging me constantly about when it was going to happen. My son came really late, and actually I went into labor the night before I was supposed to go in to have labor induced. =p

I was 3 weeks late with my first daughter and I was forever getting people asking me if I had her yet. It got so frustrating as I was upset because it was going on so long, that sometimes I just felt like I could cry. Its not like being asked makes the baby come any quicker!

I remember that, it was like once I hit 38 weeks people thought a phone call would trigger labor. I had relatives that I wasn't even close to calling me! Once I went into labor, we didn't call anyone and let the phone ring until we went to the hospital. I didn't want that distraction and was concentrating on getting through it. My husband had the cell phone, he went into a hallway in the hospital and called my mom and his mom, basically told them that they can call everyone else lol. My son was delivered early in the morning, so we waited a few hours and held him before we called anyone too.

I'm just a student ,but i want to marry with my boyfriend .And we will marry next year that i have graduate.He is so eager to want a baby ...but i'm still a student,so i cann't have a baby ...

LMFAO! You poor thing! I would just leave the phone off the hook - hehehe. At least your mom has good reason though :)

My first was early, so luckily I hadn't got to that point yet. NAd my second I didn't tell anyone my due date to avoid just that sort of thing. LOL

You know I always found it so funny when you don't hear from a lot of these people and then all of a sudden when you are ready to give birth like you said the phone rings off the hook! I have gone through this so many times in the past, I am due to have our baby Aug 4th and i'm not looking forward to all the calls =( Best wishes to you and your family and keep us posted!! Take care Stacy

I had a lady give me her advise that every time she saw me, she kept telling me i would go in to labour any time (that was when i had 16 weeks left coz i was huge) but then i got to 12 weeks & she was telling me i wouldn't last long & a week before my C Section was scheduled she told my Mum that she should take me for a long walk. Why do people - especially the ones you don't even know - insist on giving you advise? She used to say about how i wouldn't last my entire pregnancy, then when my daughter was finally born she was late anyway but still. I know what you mean, to a degree about, about people & their pressure. I also had an over excited Mother when my daughter was born & she still hasn't backed off so you might wanna keep an eye on that too!Good Luck!

You are just being run through the ringer. I didn't have this problem. Mainly because I didn't have a phone when I was due to deliver, lol. But I do feel for you. I'm sure they have no idea that they are being annoying or that they are one of many who are annoying you. I do believe people ask silly, crazy questions when they are just trying to show you love and concern. They just loose their minds and don't know how to just say I care about you and your baby and please let me know when he/she is born. You know what I mean? People forget that they aren't the only ones asking you when are you going to pop? And they forget that they aren't showing the best manners when they ask the same ucky questions over and over. Just know that they love and care about you and just let it go. Don't let it make you crazy. Good luck with you and your new baby. I hope you have a safe and easy delivery.
