The texts are coming through…

I know it’s all in good faith and because people care, but I can’t with the constant texts from people “any news yet?”, “how are you feeling”, “any signs”. It drives me CRAZY!! Had it all with my first and I thought my blunt, sarcastic replies made it clear I wasn’t playing along but people didn’t get the message. I’m not due for another 2 weeks and the constant check-ins have begun 😫

So ignore them. Then when they don't show any interest once baby is here you'll understand why

Omg I’m getting the same! FTM and my partner said I should be grateful people care but omg it’s so annoying 😂

@Rachel I wouldn’t mind if it was a “Just letting you know I’m thinking of you” and that’s it, but when it’s the same people asking me day after day “how you feeling” I’m getting frustrated! I feel exactly the same as the day before and that is like a beached whale🙃

@Meg haha yeah really grateful don’t get me wrong but my patience is wearing thin. They’re excited which is cute but we’re the ones who have to suffer here!

@Chloe maybe just a "I'll let you know when baby is here" then ignore anything after that 😀

@Chloe me too. I’m being induced tomorrow and I know it’s going to be worse over the next couple of days. In hindsight I wish I hadn’t told people the date I was being induced. My phone is going on do not disturb for the foreseeable 😂

My only constant check in is my mum but she’s also only once a day maybe if that. No one else actually cares 😅 (partner doesn’t count as he gets all updates no matter what) hence why keeping everything quiet because no one’s asking anything 🤷🏼‍♀️ or even talking to me for that matter 🤔

I’m 4 days overdue and this was stressing me out. I’ve now told people that if I have any update I’ll let them know but if not presume I’m still pregnant 😂

Haha snap, it’s all very well intentioned but has definitely been adding to my end of pregnancy irks - I’m not even ‘late’ yet 😅

Same. Wish I told people we are due 2 weeks after our due date rather than give the actual due date. It’s all well meaning which makes it harder to just tell them to piss off 😅

I was exactly the same first time, this time I'm having a planned section so people know better than to contact me to ask my date. I was pretty clear from the beginning only people who required to know the date would be told (my mum & stepdad to allow for childcare arrangements). It is so annoying, some folk are too nosey for their own good x

These messages really wound me up! Why can't people just leave you to it

Lol maybe you should update WhatsApp status with 'Baby🟢🔴'

Same, I ignore them. Even if they’re from parents 😂 if there was any news, why do you think you’d not know?

My dad even sent a text saying someone who works in next called ‘z’ was asking after you…. I mean, I don’t know who this person is. Just go away 😂

@Clare oh Jeff off!! 😂😂

@Chloe honestly, couldn’t believe it!! Ignored that too 😂

@Clare with my first, I posted on my facebook ‘Keep calm, it’s due date but I’m still pregnant’ my mum’s friend read it completely wrong and took it that I was in labour (why on earth would I publish that to my news feed) she messaged my mum and said “omg Chloe’s in labour” - if I was, my mum would be the first to know before anyone on Facebook!!

If you’ve got an iPhone you can swipe left on the message from the message list and a purple bell icon will appear. You can click it to mute. If they’re not getting your sarcastic replies just ignore them.
