This is so silly , I can't believe I'm even writing about it. I'm due mid-late July, and I've been sooo paranoid and cautious this ENTIRE pregnancy. So much so, that first trimester I was so anxious (even though I tried not to be since I knew stress was bad...) that I didn't enjoy it as much as a typical "omg i'm pregnant!" woman would. I walked around wondering when the other shoe would drop.
Anyway, my bff knows this, knows my due date, and sent a cute (well she meant it to be cute) text saying "So,,, why don't you hurry up and have that baby girl already? My baby wants to play with her". GAH! I felt jinxed!! It's only April and she's due late July. Nooooo don't rush her, she's baking and plumping up!
obviously I know that wasn't the intention. I haven't shaken this feeling though. I have issues

Awe...it sounds like she meant it as she couldn't wait for the baby to get here and that she's excited for you!
-
Lol! Don't feel too silly; I did this too. People would be like, "any day now.." and I was like, "I'M ONLY 35 WEEKS" Because I was terrified he'd come early.
And then people would sit there and try to imagine what he'd look like & that creeped me out. I just wanted him to be ALIVE and WELL. I didn't care if he has brown eyes, only that he has sight.
Just keep having faith and taking care of your body:) And obviously, she only meant good by her comment. -
@TurtleDoves: perfect description of me! I'm TERRIFIED about the baby coming early!!!
@2PeasinaPod: awww i know - i feel bad reading too much into it cause I know it's "all me" and my paranoia!! -
Yeeeaaaah people always nean well when thay say this but I find it incredibly weird too. And I'm a second time mom!
-
I am sure she meant "Can we fast forward to your due date" instead of "Have that baby early so we can meet it.' Pregnancy is tough, you love this little baby so much that you just want it be healthy and that is just natural.
-
Totally understandable! I'm only 25 weeks and some people are already making delivery comments! No ma'am!! Baby needs to bake for much, much, much longer!!
-
@MrsLilybugg: Trust me! I totally understand! I was in no rush for LO to come out...especially b/c he was pregnancy #3 but is LO #1. Just keep doing what you're doing and take care of yourself! Let her cook as long as she needs to!
-
Aw..yeah pregnancy can be so stressful like that! And then you look back and wish you could have enjoyed...that's the nature of motherhood in a sense, I guess. I think she's just excited though! Maybe what she meant was "let it be July already, so you can have that baby!"

I get it, we went to a friend's engagement party, and she got super hammered and started saying that she would be seeing my baby super soon. She obviously had too much to drink and wasn't thinking, but it creeped me out a little.
