Anyone else?

Sorry in advance ladies just had to vent. So I'm 39+1 and I've gotten four phone calls today. FOUR. How are you feeling? How are you doing? Anything happen yet? Omfg. I cannot stand these people, they're driving me NUTS!! These people didn't act like they cared about me before I was pregnant so why start now. And if they think they're going to lay a hand on my child they must be smoking something. Because my dad's an alcoholic and shakes if he's not drunk, my mom's half my size and I'm skinny when I'm not pregnant and you can break her in half just looking at her she'd probably drop my baby because she can't carry 8 lbs. everyone seems to think they're going to get some magical phone call from me when I go into labor because gee i have nothing better to do with my time. My mom legitimately "insists on being there" when I deliver. It's NONE OF HER BUSINESS. NOT HER CHILD. They're insane. I love them I guess but I definitely don't like them. My husband and I just got married on the 5th and it was just us, private ceremony, no one was invited, we're private/antisocial people so you'd think our family would get a freaking clue but I guess they're not that bright. Ugh kill me now! Sick of feeling like I live at a family reunion. Just want my husband home (who's worked every day the last 10 days) and my baby whenever she's ready to make her appearance and my dogs and cat and no one else!!

It was like that with my first, be sure to put Any family you don't want to see at the hospital on a 'banned' list. The hospital will do one of two things for you...either refuse to acknowledge you are there period or...you and baby 'will be sleeping 24/7' so no visitors.

We had crazy i laws show up during labor and the hospital told them I wasn't there! And we didn't tell anybody we didn't want to see we had deliveries till days After our daughter was born.

I'm getting similar feelings too so you're not alone. People showing interest who never did before, parents and parents-in-law insisting on being involved and my mum getting territorial saying my MIL best not tread on her toes else she'll know about it lol everyone giving their opinion how we should raise her etc, I hate fuss and don't do living in eachothers pockets either! I'd kindly ask them to stop asking you and say you'll let them know when baby is here, thats our plan anyway. I'm 34+2 and sick of people asking my due date and making a note, I don't want them to know then keep pestering me asking if she's here. If I haven't text you saying she's arrived, then clearly she's not lol people are annoying
