Pregnant and have no interest in people?

I am a week away from my due date. My inlaws, my mom and my stepmom and best friend are calling a lot more frequently and it totally gets under my skin. I don't answer the phone during the day unless it's my husband. When he's home at night he answers it and tells people that I'm either in the shower or sleeping, because he knows I just don't feel like talking... to anyone! I feel bad about it for a split second because I know everyone is getting excited, but I am so irritated by their questions! Anyone else ever felt this way? Does it pass after the baby is born? Will I even want to share my baby with the family?

lol


first of all, i envy you because im like 2 months away from mine, and cant wait to pop!


but i can definitely understand where youre coming from.


it can get annoying to tell the same news to 5 different people, especially when youre super irritable in the first place.





but at the same time, you consider yourself lucky that you have people who actually care how you and the baby are doing. some women have to go through this alone.





maybe send out a mass email - updating everyone with photos, and how your day went, etc - that way you dont have to tell the same story mulitple times, and keep a nice face for your family and friends (who you are lucky to have).





anyways congrats on the baby and good luck with everything!
Reply:honey, you are 39 weeks pregnant! of course you're crabby. people mean well, but they can be a pain in the a ss. let your hubby handle it. you'll be fine after the baby comes. it's just hormones...when you are dead tired, you'll hand that baby off as quick as anything to the nearest person.
Reply:hey dear its okay to feel this way...i mean look at where youre at...i still get this way w/my inlaws..(he he)!! ok but seriously this is your time to rest and relax because your little world will soon be thrown for a loop.......ahhh but its a beautiful thing!! Good Luck!
Reply:Yep, I keep having people that want to hang out with me and it bothers me alot because I am very tired and don't even want to talk to them. I think it will pass awhile after the baby is born.
Reply:I think it will pass. The stress and tension is getting to you. You don't have the desire to talk to anyone before your big day, which will be about a week from now. I'd probably feel irritated if I were pregnant (and a female) about everybody's questions about the baby and blah blah blah, you know? I have a feeling that you will become "normal" again once you have your baby. You will be happy, and willing to answer questions and calls from family and friends. You're just stressed, that's all.
Reply:yes this will pass away .you are irritated because you are ready to have the baby.this is normal if you did not want to be bothered with your husband or the baby than i would worry that it was post partaum depression. you will share the baby you better if one day you need a baby sitter! smile good luck.
Reply:I have been this way most of my pregnancy. I have basically become a recluse and everyone irritates me. I have no desire to talk to anyone in my life right now except my kids and my partner and even then I still get irritated! I don't remember it being this bad with my first two, but it will pass once the baby comes. Good luck to you and you are not alone. My family hates me right now and I could really care less, isn't that awful? Well, they don't hate me they just don't understand. It's hard to explain something that even I don't understand.
