Your DH? He needs a smack in the back of the head!!!!! As if he wouldn't be the first to know!
Hope it all goes well.

lol I know! I got a message an hour after he went to work "any niggles? anything?"
Registered User
Please reply with "yup, something - he's here."
Go on, I dare you. (I would do that to my DH if he were that stupid!)
BellyBelly Member
I will if he sends one again. LOL
Registered User
i'm with you!
tomorrow is my due date, and i am getting people sms'ing.... calling... the first thing they say when they see me is "are you STILL in one piece????"
just found a great status update: Have you had that baby yet?
:-)

I'm getting "you alright" EVERY time I get up to use the bathroom, day or night from DH. I think hes scared I won't tell him lol
Registered User
Oooh yeah. I'd love to see his face when he reads that message. Maybe he just wants an excuse to come home from work?
I tried so hard all pregnancy to not tell people my EDD. I'd just say early December, but they had to know the exact date. DD came early so I avoided phone calls. I don't get why people ask. As if they wouldn't be told if bubs had been born or not

i was so sick of people asking "has the baby come yet", i didnt tell anyone i was in labour. (was in early labour for almost 2 days). only sent texts out when i actually got to hospital (and wasnt sent home). the last thing i wanted was people calling while i was having contractions to see if i have had the baby.
i hadnt even hit my EDD yet!!!

Yeah Im not sure if I will tell anyone if I am in Labour. There are a couple I will. But not sure. I sort of pictured I would sit on FB & keep everyone up to speed but not sure. Maybe I can do that & just unplug the phone at the same time?

Man people are annoying hey??!? This time around we have told people I'm due June but I'm due mid may!! Hoping it stops a bit of that!!
BellyBelly Member
Yeah thats a good idea! I should have done that LOL!
Registered User
Thats what we have done this time too! Told everyone we are due late July as im sure after 3 overduers this one will be too!
Registered User
what a great idea!!!very sneaky squirrel.
efjay i highly recommend holding off telling people ur in labour. i just really wanted to focus on getting as far as i could at home, and no one was going to have the contractions for me LOL, so the phone calls would not have been any help.

When I was pg with my twins I felt like a freak show near the end. I was admitted a week before I had them for pre eclampsia. The Thursday before the obs came in and said right you are going to meet your bubbbas next Tuesday. I explained to him how I felt like the bearded women and he wrote at the front of my file that under no circumstances was anyone to discuss my c section including the day in front of visitors. And believe me my visitors tried!! They would try and sneak a look at the notes when the staff came in and one cousin saw the note at the front page and went all read in the face. Hehe I think he got the message.
With ds3 was having contractions for two weeks before ds3 arrived I was even admitted over night but the only people the new where the ones that would never show up at the hospital during labour. My mum was threatening to coming and wait .... No thanks!
Unplug the phone. Don't answer the door. And if all else fails tell them to mind their own F$&@ing business!

With DD1 she was a little over a week early and I didnt get a chance to tell anyone I was in labour.
With DD2 I was only 2 days off my EDD and people were constantly asking and telling me to make sure I get to hospital.
When I went into labour only my mum knew (she was staying with us and had DD1), I msgd 2 mg girls and no-one else found out til after she was born.
I kept telling ppl, you will find out when she's here. Don't push it.
