mother and MIL obsessed with making me go into labor

So ever since my failed induction on Tuesday, my mother and to-be mother-in-law have made it their mission to try to force me into labor early. Despite my midwife and I agreeing that it's best to let me try to get him to drop naturally and have her break my water next week, those two are constantly trying to force me to drink pineapple juice or keep trying to mess with my feet (there's apparently pressure points in my feet that can help spur labor) or their latest trying to force me to go to a haunted house to "scare the baby out" of me. I'm at my wit's end! This morning I had 8 text messages, and 3 missed calls - one of them being from my best friend who my mom called because I was still in bed and ignoring her - all before 9 AM!! Has anyone else ever dealt with obsessive family members?!

Omg it just makes me want to slap somebody! I'm just now 40 weeks today so I'm not even overdue - I feel like a prisoner in my own body or like I have no claim to it because both of them don't let me alone! We started locking the apartment and they both still try to randomly show up
