Thank you all so much for your posts!
It makes me feel a little more normal and well less alone!
With DD we were vague with our dates and she ended up coming early, with this one though we were still a little vague but with october now being over, everyone knows that Im overdue!
Oh well!
I wish I'd told a couple of people a later due date - I'm really sick of being told by MIL to ring as soon as I go into labour. Why? She won't be allowed in until after the birth and when I'm well and truly ready to have visitors!!
OOOOhhhh I have to say i have been guilty.... and i have been on the recieving end The first preganancy was worst for me, but after that I have taken it in my stride. Think of it like this??? most people are well meaning and excited (there will always be the sticky nose who you have'nt seen for ages and someone who just wants a LOOK!!!).. its always easier to be more excited about someone elses birth than your own you don't have the aches and pains, HB, MS, millions of toilet stops and sleepless nights to contend with, a baby brings out the good and bad in most people.
My advice make sure you put them to work for you!!!!
