Topic: Peoples Opinions Never End! *rolls eyes* Posted: 07 June 2006 at 1:02pm |
Now up for debate is my due date....spear headed of course by the most opinionated person in my office (I think we are all familiar with who I mean by now!).
Apparently I will be at least 4 weeks early simply because I've had bouts of nesting and have been carrying what she considers to be low (what I thought was pretty much smack bang in the middle to be honest but then what do I know!).
She completely rubbishes the fact that I've had friends who have carried low and been almost 2 weeks late!
It never ends!!!

I don't think it really matters when you due, as long as bubs arrives healthy and safe who really cares if she is late or early. Xanda was low for the last 6 weeks of my pregnancy and he ended up being 5 days overdue. And as Roksana said, who cares what she thinks, she just trying to be a know it all.

I'm getting very good at the "ignoring her" technique...the one where I smile sweetly and just say something like "that's nice", " oh? really?" or "mmmmmmm"....hehehehehehehe
Bekkie, you'd better watch out for those towels yeah? I mean buying TOWELS!!! It's hard to do that....you'd best take an expert with you love. Maybe I should too. Hmmmmm.

lol yeah I reckon, make sure we dont buy too many of them hooded ones aye! grrr I dont know about anyone else but I get annoyed when people tell me "how" to give birth! I think the last thing im going to be thinking of is how so and so told me how i should give birth just cos they did it that way!! Like having someone pushing my knees to my ears?? Im planning on a waterbirth I told her, does she want me to drown in the process??
Sorry for venting in your post lol I shouldve started one myself hehe

I like towels with hoods on them...Zaara has long hair and after I wrap her around in it...it gets most of the water out of her hair......

I second that motion for photos! Paws I think we need to see said bump. Ofcourse it doesnt really matter where the bump is - aforementioned office menace sounds horrible! Methinks you should keep the stapler on hand just in case...

working on that theory this baby is due to pop cos she is so low I can hardly walk and I have been nesting for the last 3 weeks! I was told by my friend the other day how much easier boys are to toilet train than girls, hello I have never ever heard that before, its normally the other way round plus she doesnt even have kids yet, just her partners kids that are there every few weekends. Its like when you get pregnant you also grow a sign that says Im pregnant so dont have a brain. please tell me everything you think I dont know.

Nope, they never do stop. Blimmin other people and their opinions, grrrrrr. I'm seriously considering taking a stapler with me everywhere I go now, just in case I need it for throat shoving!
In the meantime, I'll just keep up the rescue remedy.
It is so stupid how people think our expanding bellies are an invitation for them to share their wisdom isn't it? surely they found all the advice and opinions and predictions exhausting when they were pregnant too, does this mean we are all going to become like them in a few years time, berating poor defenseless preggo's??!!
I've got an army of people telling me this guy is going to be early because I'm carrying low, I'm thinking that if he's anything like me he'll be late just to spite them

Gosh, I don't know how you ladies control yourselves. I'd be swearing up a storm at them  (then using the preggo hormones excuse  )
Everyone is a bloody expert on pregnancy and labour I swear!!! (Mind you, sometimes I also think I am one of those, but hopefully I'm not as rude as your lady Paws!)
