What's with people asking me if I'm dilating? I don't ask you what's going on inside your hoo-hah!
-
Haha! Now that I'm on the other side, everybody wants to know about our labor story, and the women want details. How dilated were we at which point? Which drugs did we use? When did the do checks? Personal info overload!
-
@jedeve: give it a couple weeks & it'll be: did you tear?! Are your nipples cracked? Isn't lochia gross?
-
@MaisyMay: Isn't it crazy? Of course after you go through that, you don't really mind sharing as much as you might have before!
-
It's not that I'm really private or made uncomfortable about people asking, it's just weird for me to give a status update on it!
-
Lol! Sooo awkward. I'm 35 weeks and people keep asking me if I think he'll come early. I'm like oh let me look at my crystal ball - ok, it says I have no effing clue!!
-
Ew, no one has asked me that! Hope it doesn't start!
-
I blame other people who post on Facebook how much they are dilated. It desensitizes everyone so those things seem normal, when some of us dont want to share every detail of our lives with the world.

@ladyfingers: wait till the baby comes. They ask if she's cold, hot, hungry, thirsty, etc. How do I know? I'm not her. She cant speak to me. Your guess is as good as mine.
-
@artbee: I'm sure they'll just assume he is, and that it's my fault lol.
-
I haven't gotten to that point...yet...but my coworker was due on Christmas Eve and her FB page and her FB page is full of people asking constantly if they've had the baby yet and telling her to have sex and eat spicy food. I would freak out on these people. Like being past your due date isn't bad enough!

The other day, I was out to eat with my husband and his family (after my 36 week appt), and my MIL asks (very loudly), "So did the doctor check you vaginally today??". Poor FIL. Also, all the people sitting around us. So awkward.
-
@dagret: I like when my mom calls and asks for updates. Oh yes, I happen to be in labor this very minute! Glad you caught me! Ha.
-
No I will not stop aeking you about your vagina. Don't you know once you are pregnant this is all public domain.
-
You need an equally invasive question to ask back
-
@blackbird: so how was your colonoscopy?
-
I like the response in this: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/cervical-exam/MY01412
"kindly ask them about the state of their cervix.
