Stop Asking if Ive Had My Baby Yet
...to not respond to texts asking if I've had the baby nonetheless?

I feel harassed. Official due date isn't even until tomorrow. Getting extremely pissed off - don't people realise it is RUDE to continue asking?
Yes, I know you lot are all going to say information technology's only because people care. Simply don't they think if there was whatever news, we would tell them?
Omg I got so fed up with that. Dd decided to hang on a long time, and then spent weeks reassuring the world and her husband that they'd exist the outset to know...
I know - I had the same and the temptation to reply 'oh yeah, nosotros had the baby a few weeks ago, did I non mention information technology?' was huge! So annoying but I know earlier I had dc I did the same affair to pregnant friends. YADNBU!
If it's making you ratty, reply with "Are you being funny?". Maybe a chip likewise arsey.
Reply with, "yes merely I didn't accept y'all on the listing to allow you know." No further texts... 
Send them this link in response:
Accept you had that baby yet?

My DD was 15 days belatedly!!! I felt like I'd be pregnant for all eternity! Was SO grumpy!
What I wish I'd done is for both DH and I to send grouping texts on due date saying 'cheers for all your kind wishes, nosotros won't be replying to whatsoever messages at present until after baby arrives when of course we will let you lot know'
Probably a bit selfish but I was ready to kill the next person who asked 'whatsoever news yet?' 
Become for it!
I did sarcastically tell my mom baby was born iii days previously which gave me a bit of respite. Another time, I will lie about my due appointment and button it back a week or ii.
It didn't carp me when this happened to me. I just replied ' he's still hanging in there!' And forwarded that message to any one that texted!
Not a large deal tbh.
Haha, cheers all.
jinxdragon - In some ways, I am enjoying the idea that they are probably getting their hopes up (because I'm not replying) as information technology serves them correct for keeping on asking. I know this makes me a bad person!
I am tempted by a group text, which politely points out that the baby is not even tardily, and it could be another two weeks.
gallicgirl - Yes you are right, should have lied about the due engagement. I realised likewise late that DH had told a few people the right date early on on.

YANBU. Give thanks goodness I delivered at T+3 and didn't have weeks of it. PILs were the worst. Agree just send blanket text circular. Have to admit, facebook was quite useful for keeping the bulk of people away every bit I'd only put on a status well-nigh still existence pg. Sadly didn't piece of work for the PILs though!
It's when you are stopped by friends/aquaintances in the street and asked 'take you had information technology yet?' when your abdomen arrives in a room five minutes before y'all do!!
Just ignore the texts, they'll soon get bored.
Fwiw, one time DS popped out, I designated two people to control the news: DSil for the family and best friend for our group of friends, merely and so everyone knew what room we were in and when nosotros were going dwelling house (nosotros were in for 4 days). If anyone wanted news, they contacted those two people. I answered texts from UK every bit I'm abroad.
Oh gosh, have merely realised it is April Fools' Day. Mayhap I should tell anybody we have just had surprise twins or something.
I started replying yes, they(triplets) arrived yesterday, all vaginally. Bernard, bernadette and bernice all well, weight over 10 pounds each. Surprise!!! I dearest being a mummy
Splendid for today too! Practise information technology I dare ya!
Xposts! Do information technology, seriously! At
LEast you'll get a giggle!
I got pissed off. I posted on FB "yes it'due south my due engagement; no he isn't here however; stop asking; you lot'll hear quickly".
I promptly went into labour and had him within eight hours of the status.
Worth a endeavor?
I agree that being vague near EDD is a Very Expert Thought.
or yy to triplets with remarkable names.
Do not respond!!
I got then fed up with people request me if I "had that baby still" with dc1 and 2 that I lied to everyone except my mum about the actual due engagement of dc3.
Dc3 was day over just anybody thought she was early.

Haha, ok. Take had a couple of texts this morning and so am replying most triplets.
I am 4 days overdue and merely about ready to go into total meltdown so am pretty much ignoring all texts/ calls/ Facebook letters!
I've added a week onto my real edd so hopefully that will keep the texts at bay a bit longer
