Feels like I need a break from ppl contacting me

I’d just put my phone on DND and let people know that I’ll give updates when I’m ready and to never ask again.

I would just put your phone on DND or turn your phone off.

Block those people temporarily

I just silenced the ppl I didn’t want to hear from…. I had access to their messages or vm if I needed but otherwise they were silenced

I had this and ended up ghosting people until I was ready to communicate. I was so uncomfortable and in a fair bit of pain, and all the messaging was getting on my nerves.

I wouldn't get a different number or switch phones. I would, as some of the ladies have said put it on DND. Then when you're ready to respond you shall.

I’m not good at ignoring ppl so the dnd method doesn’t work for me

I’d just put a message out on social media or texts. “As my due date arrives I am thankful for everyone’s messages and calls of support but we would like to take the next few weeks to ourselves to prepare for baby and focus on our family. I will be taking a break from my phone and social media and will update you when we are ready”

Don’t be getting a new phone or number as it’ll just make everyone annoy your partner for details constantly or worse, come to your house to be nosey

Do you have iPhone? Mute their messages and reply when you feel like it. My phone also lives on DND and I just check when I want to
