HAVE YA HAD THE BABY YET?!
Gah... Monday was my EDD by dates. Today is me EDD by 8 week scan.
I have had PM on FB asking & also in chats.
people asking have I been induced before? Who said anything about being induced? Baby will come when he is ready so yes, you will have to wait just like everyone else!
I hope it isn't a sign of things to come. People are in for a long wait.
Haha I hear ya. Had that from 38 weeks this time round. I was getting so cranky by the end of it (I went 11 days over) that I was venting to everyone!!!
Seriously people - if you haven't heard there is news - it means there isn't any flipping news so quit asking before I knock you over the head.!!!!!
LOL I remember with Isla, There was a day we weren't home. My Nan had called to see if I had the baby. Anyway she got really annoyed when no one answered so called my half sister who said, I was probably sleeping or something. Nan snapped back about why can' Simon have answered the phone then! ...ummmm we weren't home... I think I sent her an email saying "polietly" to back off, she will get told WHEN it happens. But im not putting our life on hold sitting around the house taking PITB calls while waiting to go into labour!
Ahhh yeah I remember this, lol. My personal favourite (not!) - 'Hasn't that baby come yet! What are you / she doing?' like either I wasn't doing something; or I could somehow cajole my unborn child into making an exit, lol....
LOL, Im going to tell people I already did have the baby, but he cries to much so I shoved him back in LOL
I just wanted to pop in here and wish you all the best for your labour and birth. May it be all that you want it to be. I look forward to reading your BA and your birth story. And I look forward to hearing the name you have chosen!
I promise I won't keep popping in to ask 'is he here yet?'.....
I don't mind being stalked on here. Its the nosy buggers IRL that **** me off LOL
:rofl::
:rofl: efjay, sometimes I wish I could put DD back in!!! lol
This might help
Have you had that baby yet?
I always replied with "I'm holding them in! can't you see how comfortable I look" it shut them up pretty fast idiots!
good luck with everything will be stalking for your BA :D
:
^^^ yeah that!!! good luck with everything hun, Im so excited for you. Hope you are well xox
LMAO FJ - I did that when I was due with Liebs and a friend, to my face, asked me if I'd had the baby yet. It really is worth it!:
Oh good, I'll definitely be stalking then.:
glad you sent the link to this, cause i was about to as well! my plan with J before he was born was to send this link to anyone who asked Lol.:
I was 11 days over with DD and very close to punching the next person in the face who asked me! Grrr. hope everything goes well with the labour and birth, can't wait to hear some news, but i will wait patiently twiddling my thumbs :)
I'm quietly stalking Fi, I won't ask you 'have you had him yet' ;)
So excited about the arrival of this little man.
Hope it goes well,
Oh, what a PITA!!!!!! That really annoyed me! Like you would have the baby and just not tell anyone, FFS.
Oh that sucks! I seriously don't even get the question though - do people honestly think you've had the baby and keeping it a big secret from everyone? If they call up, you answer completely normally and don't say "Hey by the way I've had the baby", surely they can assume you haven't - no need to ask! Gah, how frustrating!
However, I will silently stalk you on here :ninja: hehehe
Best wishes, I hope everything goes smoothly for you and you can get some peace from the nosy rellies & friends
Even DH sent me a message this morning:rolleyes:
I couldn't even labour in peace with DS1. My sister and SIL rung and we weren't home and then rung the hospital in the off chance i had gone into labour, they were on the phone every couple of hours the whole time i was in labour.
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?"
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!)
I will if he sends one again. LOL
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
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 :rolleyes:
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!!
Yeah thats a good idea! I should have done that LOL!
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!:
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!
Zap - I was just about to ask whether your family was Italian, then I saw your kids names!
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.
Sent from my iPhone, more than likely while I should be doing something else!
Im lucky in that this is # 5. Being most relative know I will tell them how it is & just say F off LOL. Then you have those who don't care cause its baby #5. Most of mine & DH's family got bored with the whole Fiona's having a baby thing by #3.
There is just 1 Aunt of DH's that keeps sending my FB messages. I only really met her properly a week ago! I knew I would regret adding her on FB but thought it would be rude to not respond to the friend request. DH thinks she is just trying to bond.
