Week 38 : The Vagina Dialogues

In case those weekly doctor’s visits aren’t enough, you can expect to have family members start calling to ask about the state of your girly bits.

From your mother-in-law to your grandma, every woman that you have ever met will call to ask “how you are feeling?”

Sure, they just want to see what’s going on…everyday.

The deal is that these women can get creative with the reasons they need to call. Have you seen that new cooking show? Do you need any more clothes for the baby? What’s the weather like where you are?

No matter what you do, no matter how much you threaten to never let “grandma” visit her first grandchild, these people will still call. It’s like they think they should get certain privileges when it comes to the state of your vagina.

Are you dilated? Has the baby dropped? Did she do an exam?

I don’t know why, but having to explain to my mom that yes, the midwife did put her hand down there and measured the opening in my cervix with her fingers wasn’t something I enjoyed doing.

I think that the worst part of the whole “waiting for baby” thing was the vagina talk. It’s like, how many ways can we discuss a vagina without actually saying “vagina?”

Personally, I think it is best to scare them with a little “TMI,” if you catch my drift.

“Well, after the doc fingered my cooch, we discussed my bloody mucous plug.” Any person that is interested after you use the phrase “fingered my cooch” deserves all the information you’re willing to give.

    my mother in law never calls and that's totally fine with me. i get aggrevated when people touch my stomach and don't ask. when the personal questions begin, i lose service on my phone (if you catch my drift). I think if we're supposed to be mature individuals, then watching what we say and ask is a part of mature stability. I think pregnant women need to come together and write a book called-WHAT NOT TO SAY TO A PREGNANT WOMAN! be blessed and good luck to all pregnant women.

    We live in Illinois, and my sister in law is out on the west coast for a job thing, and let me tell you, she drives me nuts! Shes 27 years old, never has moved away from home except college, and doesnt plan on moving out anytime soon. Well, she has to call her mom every day, sometimes multiple times a day to see how everyone in the community and their dog is doing. She constantly has to know EVERY SINGLE DETAIL about 'Whats going on wit Jen? What did the doctor say? How many more days? Is she excited? How does she feel?' blah blah blah. I hate people like this. She is just five times more annoying because she has never even had a boyfriend and ever since we found out I was pregnant, whenever we talk about something going on with my pregnancy, or my plans for our daughter...she always has something to say about 'oh, when I have kids...' Grr. I think she needs to get a life first, and everyone else, too...that has to know everything about whats going on with me right now. I hope no one else has a nightmare like this on their hands when they are already quite irritable anyhow!

    For my first pregnancy, I learned from the frustration of my co-worker (and dear friend): As her due-date approached, she was questioned by more and more people about every pregnancy detail; then, as she arrived to work, day after day, after her due-date, the comments started feeling more 'rude' (Haven't you had that baby yet!? You're STILL here?! etc.) She even spoke out about it, but that didn't stop people (and she was frustrated enough, being late!)
    So my little trick was: don't announce the due date! I went a little extreme: I didn't even tell my Mom, and my husband was under strict orders not to tell his Mom, no matter how much she begged. Our only response was, "I'm due the first half of May." When people wanted more info, I just said, "The due date's just an estimate anyway." I was surprised how most people accepted this as an answer, and left it alone after that!
    P.S. The night I did go into labor, neither my Mom or Mother-in-law could sleep: they both had that, "mother's instict," and weren't surprised when my husband called to tell them we were on our way to the hospital!

    This is why I'd rather talk to my mother-in-law and my own mother right now! She's had five kids and my hubby's youngest sibling is 3! So she doesn't ask "what did the doctor say?" or any of it! It's such a relief. The closest she comes is to ask me if I'm doing to much at work, but she has every right since We worked together and she KNOWS I'm doing to much. Just a side note. Why does no one tell you that "We're going to see if your dialating" really means "Let me see if I can touch the baby, THE HARD WAY"?

    Come on people, stop being so damn sensitive. You should be happy that your family cares enough about you and your pregnancy to inquire about how you are doing. If they didn't, you would be complaining that no one cares or pays attention to the fact that you are pregnant. I am 38 weeks pregnant and a first time mommy-to-be and I am loving the attention. It's great that people will take time out of their day to show appreciation, love, compassion, and concern. And when strangers step out of their normally self-absorbed world to inqure about your pregnancy, that shows me that this world isn't such a bad place to bring a child into.

    Stop focusing on the negative and be happy! You are having a baby, after all!

    Family of the baby want to celebrate with you, not annoy you.

    I don't mind the questions about the baby. I do mind when people make assumptions about touching or asking about my love life. I am single, I'm not with the father, I have no wedding ring or engagement ring. I don't like the questions about why it didn't work out, or why did I not try harder with him. I don't think it's whining to not want to continuously answer questions about the baby. If someone (when you weren't pregnant) asked about how your lady parts are doing, people would be a little offended and tired of hearing it. And if someone is tired of answering questions, it's absolutely not okay to put them down like some people have here. We're all pregnant, we need some solidarity for christ's sake. No one has a right to call someone a name or insinuate something just because they don't agree.

    I know that people are just concerned and like to feel involved, but that's the thing that I've been most aggrivated about throughout my whole pregnancy. Everyone asks the same questions and when you work with 50 women everyday, you have to answer the SAME questions over and over and over. In the beginning, every single person I talked to would ask me if I had been having morning sickness or if I have been throwing up. Not only did I get tired of answering this question, when I'd say yes, we would have to have another 10 minute conversation about what I should do about that. I finally got to the point where I'd just say "I've been feeling pretty good" just so I wouldn't have to have the conversation AGAIN! And my husband had the nerve to ask me why I was lying to people when they asked if I had been sick! UGH! lol.

    sorry, im 38 weeks, irritable and i have a 2 year old who i stay home with, so im extra irritable and when i get somewhat cranky i get a surprized response from my family. for crying out loud, people, cut me some slack!

    I have to agree with you all who think that its just the pregnancy hormones making everyone a little "over-sensitive". I think its nice that people come out and say, "Wow, you really look like you're glowing!" or "Do you know what sex you're having?" I think people are just grateful to see that there will be something new, precious and innocent in the world again. I dont really mind when people ask me how I'm feeling, and when my MIL pats my belly, I just think its cool to see her acting like a grandmother already.
    And if anyone gives you any hassle about not wanting to know the sex of the baby until delivery, just tell them that it gives you all the more reason to push!! ;-)

    I work in a mall setting and get asked these questions CONSTANTLY. It doesn't bother me from friends, family, and co-workers, but when random shoppers walk up and start touching the belly and asking the same questions...GRRR. I have to stop my work when a customer arrives. 90% of their questions are about the baby. What I would like to remind them of is that I'm here to work. If you want a cell phone or have problems with one, then we'll talk. Until then, back off. Especially with just reaching over and rubbing the belly. Touch me again and I'm gonna deck ya, bad customer service or not :-)

    I think the people who thing we are being oversensitive need to lighten up themselves. I'm glad you don't mind people asking you the same question 50 times in a week. I do! I don't want people who didn't call me the whole 4 months I was on bedrest to see how I'm doing to now call me every single day to ask when the baby is due. That's not caring, it's nosey! Plus, if I want you to know something, I will tell you. But the only person who needs to know what my dr said is my husband. Just because I'm blessed (and I recognize that it's just that) to still have my parents doesn't mean I have to be happy that they are constantly calling. I'm a private person. No one calls me every day when I'm sick, or hurt, don't do it now!

    LOL...You all are so funny! I liked my relationship with my boyfriend's mother BEFORE the pregnancy announcement. Now she calls everyday with a million questions, constantly asking about my symptoms and every detail of my life, and giving lots of unsoliticited, old fashioned advice based almost completely on old wives tales and this weird spiritualism/psyhic stuff that she strongly believes in. My boyfriend hands me the phone like I am obligated to talk to her. She is already obsessed with her son/my boyfriend on a really weird level that freaks me out. Its like he is her whole life. She writes poems about him and acts like he was just born himself even though he is 37 years old and been on his own since he was 18. Ever since he was born 37 years ago, she stopped her whole social life and never dated or got married and still she doesn't do anything except call him and depend on him. She never goes out with other people. I am afraid she might be the same way with my child (obsessed) when it is born and I just need some space!

    Having done this once before, I'll say this:

    Our little "angels" are getting on our sciatic nerves by making us pee 40 times an hour and making our legs feel like we could perform the lead role in Riverdance when all we want to do is sleep. We're antsy, excited and mentally DONE, and all the doc can say is, "yep, there's definitely a baby in there." So when the calls comes in from our Mom's, Mil's (or weirdly enough in my case, FIL's) best friends, random strangers and curiosity hounds, the urge to scream, "You'll meet the kid when he's damn well good and ready to come out!!!" may be pounding in our heads!

    Or maybe not. Maybe we are thrilled by the extra attention and don't mind sharing every last detail! Whatever you feel, blessed or cursed, by the amount of attention you are receiving is OK!!! And It's equally ok to say to someone, "Y'know, I wish I had some answers for everyone, but I don't. I'll CALL YOU when I know what's up" and then refuse the hourly calls if they don't respect that answer. It's all about comfort zones! Fortunately, most people will cut you a break if you play the pregnancy card after requesting privacy.

    Example: Today I visited my Doc and my husband (home with the toddler) called to see how the appt. was going. I told him that my Group B strep was positve and that I would need antibiotics during delivery, that I was a CM dialated, and that the baby was "sky high" according to the OB. When I got home, he was fielding calls from friends, his sisters, father AND mother (and those two live together - Can't they just tell EACH other?! LOL!) I finally hollored, (with sister #3 listening in the backround) "Ok, do we HAVE to tell the Pope that I have a vaginally passed infection? Could we MAYBE leave that part out??? I'm embarrased enough as it is!" According to hubby, she started laughing and said, "I totally understand and that's completely cool!" So don't be afraid to speak up!

    Meanwhile, MY family's stance is, "Let us know when he's ready to play whack a mole, and we will be right there!"

    The relationships are so different, and neither is wrong. Just remember that they are excited too, without the added extras like back pain, swelling, hormones, sleep deprivation and twitchy legs, to add to thier frustration. They do mean well!

    PS: Think this is bad? Wait until the kid comes out and you get THIS STUFF:

    Did you get to see the placenta?
    How's the breast/bottle feeding going?
    How many stitches did you get?
    You look swollen. Are you alright?
    I remember that MY labor was an 18 hour home birth with NO epidural. Did YOU get an epidural?
    How much weight di you GAIN?!

    Good times, GOOD times!

WELL... the doc gave me a pelvic exam and said im 1.5 cm dialated and to not be alarmed if i have some spotting tonight.. but to watch for leaking of the amniotic fluid and get ready for diareah.... and she says.. oh really? so what happens if you leak amniotic fluid? when will you get diareah and why do you have to look for it? the whole time every person in the waiting room is looking at us and listening... and me.. with social anxiety disorder... UHHGGG....

    and then theres the getting a sono.. if she finds out one is going to happen.. she wants to come to it.. i cant tell her no.. id actually like her to be there.. but .. she then invited her husband and i dont feel comfortable with him being there because hes a guy... hes not my husband.. i barely know him.. and he gets to see my belly and pubic area when doing the sono.... bleh.. :(

    im SO glad im getting induced 2 weeks before my due date ;)

    for me, specifically, im happy when someone asks about my pregnancy or wants to touch my belly. I'm 37 and its my first child and i couldnt be prouder or more willing to talk about it, most of the time anyway, unless my hormones are raging :) My parents are both passed away and the father is not involved anymore, so its just me and those who care to become involved. i miss having a mother to talk to about the "joys" of pregnancy and all that goes with it. i say, count your blessings and remember that they wont always be here. enjoy them while you can, so you dont look back years from now with regret.

I have totally enjoyed the articles and peoples posts (for the most part) Everyone that is saying stop whining please go read something else.

    What a trashy thing to say. They're just excited about the baby. Grow up already. If you're that sensitive about people asking about it wait until you have a ton of strangers down there examining you constantly while you're in labor. You sound really tacky and immature.
