She says hurry up slow baby.....i haven't even reached my due date, chill out!!!! Just don't let comments affect you :) it will be over before you know it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/endless-due-date-pestering#post-862710 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 11:00:05 +0000 Lindsay05 862710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is/was SO annoying! I eventually just turned my phone off. I think people got the point! Hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/endless-due-date-pestering#post-862698 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 10:55:48 +0000 Vegmama 862698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think a FB status update is appropriate. To tell everyone you're so excited about baby, and you'll share news once you're ready. It's also a great time to add that you know everyone else is excited, and again, you'll share when there's news to share. Best of luck!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/endless-due-date-pestering#post-861632 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 16:43:40 +0000 sea_bass 861632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Darling: I don't know. It doesn't really bother me to be honest. I try to take it in the spirit it was meant. Imagine if no one asked about your pregnancy... I think I would be pretty hurt from the lack of interest. </p> <p>I think if you start to let stuff bother you, everything really will bother you. And pregnancy is long enough as it is, without being pissed off at the world. </p> <p>Probably not what you want to hear, but just my thoughts. </p> <p>It will all be over soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/endless-due-date-pestering#post-861626 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 16:38:23 +0000 tinypiglet 861626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am right there with you, @darling. I'm due on Tuesday and everyone is constantly asking if there's any news. I always think "don't you think I'd have told you by now if there were news?!" </p> <p>But this is my favorite: <a href="http://haveyouhadthatbabyyet.com" rel="nofollow">http://haveyouhadthatbabyyet.com</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/endless-due-date-pestering#post-861503 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 14:32:12 +0000 Foodnerd81 861503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Darling: Lol at lazy baby! My sister has already started answering every call from me thinking I'm in labor-- I'm not due for over a month! And she went 10 days past her due date so she knows exactly what it's like. I think it's OK to tell people to stop asking and remind them that you will let them know in due time when baby is on it's way. Or you could just be a teeny bit obnoxious and post every morning on facebook: Before you ask, no baby yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/endless-due-date-pestering#post-861456 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 13:47:53 +0000 swedishfish 861456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Darling: hahaha, lazy baby! That's funny. Reminds me of needy baby, greedy baby from The Big Bang Theory. I think the babies are just comfortable where they are! Or they're trying to spare their moms from the pain of labor - what sweet babies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/endless-due-date-pestering#post-861452 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 13:45:06 +0000 runsyellowlites 861452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd turn off your wall &amp; just not take calls/texts you don't need! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/endless-due-date-pestering#post-861449 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 13:44:33 +0000 Darling 861449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: haha ...Yes I've started a few phone calls that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/endless-due-date-pestering#post-861447 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 13:42:05 +0000 Darling 861447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: Hopefully we will both be laboring soon! I feel like I'm being judged, especially by friends who labored early. Like my baby is being lazy or something. Geez! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/endless-due-date-pestering#post-861446 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 13:39:25 +0000 Boheme 861446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ended up deactivating my Facebook account for two weeks and didn't answer any texts. I couldn't deal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/endless-due-date-pestering#post-861444 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 13:38:49 +0000 swedishfish 861444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Join us on the June board to commiserate! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/endless-due-date-pestering#post-861439 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 13:35:17 +0000 sslm 861439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>that sucks!!! I went 12 days overdue so I definitely got the comments!!! I just went into hiding basically. Haha. Or started all phone calls with "no baby yet... Hi"! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/endless-due-date-pestering#post-861438 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 13:35:16 +0000 swedishfish 861438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Darling: I'm dealing with the same exact issue right now because my due date is tomorrow. It's driving me crazy but I just try to smile and play along because I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. I know they mean well and are excited to meet the baby. But, boy oh boy, does DH get an earful! I need to vent to someone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/endless-due-date-pestering#post-861437 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 13:33:24 +0000 Darling 861437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So my estimated due date was June 14th. No baby. I've been receiving calls, emails, social network comments from friends and family almost daily since we hit full term at 37 weeks wondering when the heck this baby is going to arrive.</p> <p>I know that people mean well and are just excited, but do they really think that pestering me is going to make things progress faster? Do they think I have some sort of magical mommy crystal ball that will tell them more info?! I think I'm handling the waiting game rather gracefully considering I'm a naturally impatient person, but these people are driving me insane!! How do I politely tell them to mind their own business (and uteruses)? Or should I just ignore everyone and retreat from the internet until my baby is born...Advice? </p>
