MIL Talking About My Cervix……
So I’m overdue with my 3rd baby by a few days. I’m certainly exhausted and ready to have the baby, but I am more so sick and tired of everybody asking me if I’ve had the baby yet, or if I’m still pregnant, or if labour has started yet. It’s been just about every day for a week now. I’m ready to lose my shit on everyone, if I have the baby I will let them know and to leave me the hell alone.
Anyway, last night my MIL asked again about the baby, I told her nothings changed still, and she had the audacity to suggest prostaglandin gel on my cervix. Like I’m not crazy, right?! That was totally out of line, right?! If I decide to induce or not is none of her business and my cervix is certainly none of her business.
My husband agrees that it was crossing a line and he was going to tell her as much, but it still feels really weird that she even mentioned it in the first place. Everyone else that has offered any unsolicited advice has all been normal like walking, certain foods, etc. MIL just went straight up my vag, like wtf.
I’m just definitely ready to not even tell anyone about future pregnancies anymore because of all the shit “family” puts me through. My SIL literally called me an oven when she found out we were expecting again. Ya’ll I’m just so done with everyone. Thanks for the rant.

That’s when you turn your phone on do not disturb and make your husband do the updates with his family. At a certain point you just let him communicate and you just focus on yourself and positive thoughts
I dont see anything wrong with your MIL suggestion cause even the hospital would offer it, she is a woman just like you, but maybe the fact that she is MIL you dont like it, if it was your mama would you feel the same way.

My third came at 41w3d and my MIL was so impatient as well. She told us that I need to give the baby an eviction notice, told us “I will watch the kids, go upstairs and have sex..”, “you need to get him out cause it’s not safe anymore” and on and on she went. I eventually stopped being around when she came over and I stopped talking to her all together. She was moving the week after baby was due, all my care providers said he was probably waiting for her to leave before coming out! I sat at 5cm dilated and in labour for a week hahah I too wanted to lose my shit if anyone else asked about baby.
