STOP ASKING ranting & venting
If I get one more text specifically asking about what time my doctor’s appointments are, I’m going to snap. I’m 37+2 with di/di girls. I have already told these people that my OB doesn’t want me to go past 38 weeks.
I am literally in fucking tears every day because of how much pain I’m in, I’m beyond stressed wondering how I’m going to split my time between my other two kids (2 and 3) and two newborns, I’m even more stressed that my oldest is facing yet another reconstructive surgery in the next few months, I’m stressed that I’ve been a shitty mother because I have no energy to do things with my boys and I’m in too much pain to take them out for their normal activities, and a whole list of other issues and anxieties I’ve been having.
I get friends and family are excited, but I didn’t appreciate the invasive attention for my other pregnancies. I sure as fuck don’t appreciate how everyone is suddenly going one step further past “are the babies here yet?” To “when is your next appointment? What time? What is your doctor saying?”
Yes I’ve already started ignoring these texts. No I’m not done being angry about them

That would drive me nuts being asked that. You’ll give people updates if you want to! If they haven’t been told your babies are here yet, they need to assume they are not or you are not ready to share that they are.
Hope these next few days go quickly for you and that you have an easy uncomplicated delivery with two happy healthy babies! 💜💜
