God I don’t know if I’m just being super grumpy but I’m already sick of being asked this! 😂 I’m due on Saturday and this is what I keep getting asked. Once I am actually in labour I’m going to lie and tell them all there’s no signs just to spite them 🤣🤣 anybody else feel like this?! 😂

😂😂 everyone is excited and I’m just sat here thinking if I was in labour do you think I’d be replying? I’m due Sunday so I feel your pain! Xx

I went 11 days past my due date and I feel this so hard. If we have another I’m not telling anyone my due date 😆

I didn’t tell anyone till mine were born (except last bubs cause he was planned c-section)

This must be so annoying 😬 my friend advised me not to tell anyone our due date but my MIL is still nagging 😅x

Yep I feel ya. I was 12 days over so had a lot of it. X

Yup! I was 8 days late and the messages were unreal. A women who I’d I worked with over a decade ago messaged every day and I’d not seen her for years. I eventually drew the conclusion that she was doing it on purpose to wind me up 🤪 Hang in there! xxx

I was 8 days over and had this for weeks leading up to my due date😩 in the end I just deleted message apps on my phone and didn’t reply.. sounds selfish but it was mentally stressing me out! hang in there! 🥰

I was being induced and my friend kept messaging asking what’s happening and then said ‘this is taking sooo long’ as if she was in the hospital being induced I literally stopped replying 😂🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️

I had this with my first my mother and sister was asking like everyday . I ended up by induced and didn’t tell my family and went complete radio silent tell after the baby was born. I haven’t even told them exact due this time cause I can’t be bothered with it this time.

Yep!! As if you’re going to forget to tell people you’ve had the baby!! 😂I was 6 days over and was getting asked from about 38 weeks 😂xx

I had to endure two whole weeks of this, I was getting so annoyed that by the end of it I was crying every time I looked at my phone and saw yet another ‘any sign/news yet?’ text. Is it just me who thinks it’s so fucking rude???!

Someone told me to tell everyone the date 2 weeks after your actual due date as you'll definitely have had baby by then 😂

I am so nervous for this. There has been so much pressure around this but around virtual showers ...virtual sip and sees it is driving me nuts already. I can just tell already that this will happen...I feel for you.

I got constant texts from the minute I went off on maternity leave then the baby was late so I had 5 weeks of this.
When I went into labour I only told imediate family, I told my friends there was still no signs. Then text them after haha

Completely understand, I was due on Monday and I'm getting calls like 3/4 times a day 🙄 I know they all mean well but I'm just fed up telling people it not happened yet. X

God yes, I’m only 33 weeks and already people are saying they’ve been wondering if I’d had my baby yet 🙄 It’s probably because I haven’t really told many people my exact due date (precisely to avoid being asked lol, that one backfired!)...
In any case I can’t imagine wanting to tell anyone when I’m in labour, the idea of getting texts asking if baby has arrived yet makes me want to throw my phone out of the window 😂

Yas, I'm 2.5 weeks til due date but people or family members can't stop commenting. I would keep the birth a secret if I wasn't living with the in laws. Just to get some peace

I feel exactly like this!!! 😂🙈 people have even told me to “hurry up” 🤨🔪 sorry, am I inconveniencing you by not going into premature labour?? Honestly people are idiots, I don’t have the patience for them since being pregnant! X x

I've been getting this for the last 2 weeks and I'm 37 weeks now and it's really winding me up. Everytime I call someone the first thing they ask is " have you given birth yet" just shut upppppp

😂😂 I feel your pain, I refused to do the school runs once I turned 40 weeks pregnant because I was so sick of all the mums asking if I’d had any signs, and telling me when he would be making his appearance plus I got the ‘oh poor you, you look so uncomfortable’ looks which basically just meant they thought I was huge so for the last 2 weeks of the pregnancy I became a complete home hermit (baby number 3 took me to 42 weeks pregnant, it was brutal 🤦♀️)

I didn’t tell anyone that I was in labour and it was brilliant!! No one texting me every 5 minutes during labour to see if the baby had come yet. I responded with I would have told you if there was a baby!!!
Also why do people go up to pregnant ladies and say how bad it must be to be heavily pregnant?! They’ve got enough going on without people always saying “ooh just wait until you’re 40 weeks, you’ll be so sore then” just say nice things like “you look awesome, I hope it all goes well”

I actually didn’t tell my real due date anyone, not even my mum to avoid just that. I added two weeks to my due date so hoping they all either gonna be surprised that the baby is here early or very close to the ‘due date’ 😄

My due date was yesterday and I’m constantly being asked if I’ve had any ‘signs’. - I don’t really want to divulge whether or not my mucus plug has come away or if my contractions have started 😂 I’ll let you know when baby is here!

Yeah I hated this. Every day from 38 weeks onwards at least 1 person would ask this. And my lo was a week overdue so I was about ready to scream at the next person who asked this 😂

Yes!! I’d have messages asking ‘is he here yet’ ( mainly from my partners grandma) as though I’d had him and forgot to tell anyone 🙄🤦🏼♀️ honestly so frustrating! In the end baby was 13 days overdue and I was booked in to be induced, we decided not to tell anyone and it was the best decision ever!! He arrived the next morning at 42 weeks and it was so nice just having that little secret and a few hours of time together as a family! Good luck 🥰

Love this! I had my baby just over 2 weeks ago and I never told anyone I was in labour! Just surprised them with a FaceTime call and the baby haha! I couldn’t cope with texts asking what’s happening!! Good luck! Xx

Yup, so annoying. I delivered only 3days late, everyone lept asking me like 3 weeks before.
when I did deliver some comments were “oh finally! “ what does that even mean? He was only 3 days late 🤯

I’m 10 days over and just stopped answering the phone it’s so annoying

I was so annoyed with this question when I was pregnant with my first born. It’s like people think a due date actually means something 😂 baby will come when they feel like it 🙄 I was a week past my due date when my water broke, it’s not like baby is aware of due date and is like “oh yeah I need to get out of here” 😂😂😂

Reply to them from now on if you ask them I'm just not going to answer and ignore the message, since I already said I will let you know when baby comes. After that don't respond then when if they message while you happen to be in labor they don't know if you are or aren't because you stopped responding before hand.

I did dat ... I give dem two month behind lol ... plz ppl let her njoy her pregnancy in peace... I want to be surprise ... yayyyyyy ...

You look adorable!!

I’m 41+5 days and still no sign of baby , booked for a ballon induction tomorrow which I’m terrified about ! Honestly the amount of messages I have been getting saying any news or is baby here yet , I know they mean well but once you have already updated them previous and they still continue to ask it’s so annoying!!!!

I felt the exact same way with my second pregnancy! I went three days past due, which felt like forever because my first baby was born 38+6, and I was about to yell “no one wants me to be in labor more than I do, so quit asking, shut up, and keep your pressure to yourself because I’m stressed enough waiting for it without you adding more discomfort!” Lol

I got this the first time I was pregnant and I was only 19 and it drive me to tears as I was terrified and didn't need constantly reminding. I felt like a bit of a suitcase and like nobody cares about me only the baby.
2nd and 3rd times I had planned c-sections so everyone knew when they were coming. It meant nobody kept asking which was kind of nice. However I work in the department so asked that nobody visit and I didn't want anyone to see the baby before our older children did so they could find out his name together and be the first to see him. This actually worked out really well and was the best birth I had. When I was 19 with my first I had all sorts of people on her dad's side (who I'd never met) all being brought up the hospital and some helped themselves to my baby. It really really upset me so I was very strong in that i did not want anyone touching my baby until I was ready and I think that's very important. You wait to be offered a baby. X

Oh it’s driving me to tears the constant asking ... then it’s always followed up with unwanted advise or labour horror stories. X

Heck yeah with my last three pregnancies I got asked are you having twins and I was only half way through my second trimester.....I do get huge but hey my babies come out a good size never oversized

Congratulations

Happy Friday all! It’s the day before my due date, it’s 8am here and I’ve already had a text from my mum literally saying ‘any twinges’ 🙃 🔫

Haaa !!! My boyfriend loves to say my due date is my “push out date “ like what ????? He doesn’t understand that the due date is not when she’s
Going to come out on her own . And on top of that .. his mom was a week over with him .. so idk why she doesn’t get it lmfao but I get you girl it’s super annoying

I turned my phone on airplane mode when I was a week overdue because I was so sick of everyone lol

My little guy is 3.5 months old and I went 2.5 weeks overdue with him! I really wanted to have a home birth but ended up deciding to get induced in the end because I wasn’t comfortable waiting any longer. Longest 2.5 weeks of my life! And I got so tired of people asking if I had gone into labour yet. Good luck and hope it all goes well for you!

Oh god yes! Today I had to make a post telling everyone not to take offence if I haven’t answered them but I’ve turned off messaging notifications and for them to remember I am waiting too 😂 it’s almost daily. I’m 39+4. I feel frustrated and anxious, it’s like please just let me live!!

Driving me up the wall and I’m overdue now ... I’ve actually just started ignoring messages.

Everyone kept asking me too drove me insane was 10 days late in the end and when I actually was in labour no one believed me for hours 🙃 good luck lovely fingers crossed something happens for you today x

I went 2 weeks overdue and had an induction date and people still kept asking me 😬 one of my friends used to say to me "just walk, walk everywhere that's what I did" but I had mine in the height of the pandemic and there was no public toilets open and I'm sure you all know what walking Is like when pregnant 🙃 so I used to get so pissed off everytime she said it.... or the other one is "hurry up baby we want to meet you" what and you think I dont? You think I'm deliberately keeping him in there away from you? People that hadn't spoken to me for months were messaging me asking if I'd had him yet in was insane... it still makes me angry now 😂

I'm 3 days overdue and have people I barely talk to asking me if I'm in labour yet 😒
I don't mind friends and family asking every now and again (although a couple friends ask multiple times a day and i'm like 😒😒).
Like once she arrives you'll know & once she meets our families you can have a chance to meet her. Calm down guys 😂😂

I was in hospital (to be induced) for 4 days before I had my boy by emergency section. I stopped replying to people! I got sick of the hassle. The only person I responded to was my Mum x

Lol I hated it when people would say “how do you FEEL?” because coworkers, family & friends never asked me other questions. Why don’t you just say “How is your week going?” Grrr lol

I am 35 weeks and the comment I get from customers 'god are you still pregnant'.... Yes its a 10 month process!!! 🙄 I am still pregnant.....
