Anti Social!!!

Ok. So lately I just dont want to be around people... mainly because I get annoyed with advice and people touching my belly. I just dont like it. My husband and I have also decided to wait to tell people when our baby boy is born. At least till the next day so we can have our time with our son. Is this wrong? I just feel like I dont want to share him right away with anyone(beside my husband). My hormones are going crazy... I've never been such an anti social person. Anyone else feel this way?

You all are being nice. I told my husband if he called his family while I was in labor I was having him removed from the room. They wanted to be at the hospital for the first and then proceeded to complain that it was taking too long the entire time. Just tell your SO, that you want him to be able to focus on you and baby and he can't do that if he is trying to answer everyone else's questions.

Yep. Totally anti-social. I get stressed out around other people now, and I'd much rather stay home with my husband all the time.

Love that I'm not the only one... I just dont get it.. I hate it when someone (even someone I know) walks up and lift up sweatshirt just to see my belly.... it just seems rude!

The only people who I will allow to randomly touch my belly is my fiance and the two grandma's of my baby. And it's perfectly fine to wait to tell people. We are only going to tell the people who need to know when I am having him and in the hospital and then when we get home were gonna post on Facebook and whoever can come visit us.

I know its not funny but I have to laugh because I have definitely considered telling everyone the day after. My fiancee's side of the family are very annoying with the touching every time they see me. And then theres the little germy kids who always think they should touch my tummy and I have to have my fiancee act as my security guard. I do not want to deal with that at the hospital. I just haven't came up with a convincing way to tell my fiancee yet.

Yeah I don't understand it. I would never waltz right up to a pregnant woman and touch her belly. My step kids were doing that to me the minute they came over and it stressed me out, so I started doing it to them - which they didn't like. They said, "Its different - your pregnant." I had to explain that it wasn't - you still need to respect people's personal space. But yeah, the advice thing is getting old too. I had someone last week tell me I shouldn't drink my diet coke. I know he meant well, and he doesn't realize that I can barely sleep so I need a Pepsi at work to make it through the late afternoon hours without passing out at my desk...but still. What I'd really like to tell him is - oh yeah? Let's see you Thursday afternoon at 7 months pregnant!
