Facebook rant - it's not me; it's you

I have two pg "friends" on Facebook that are driving me nuts. Maybe it's because I'm hormonal and irritated or maybe it's all the dumb.

I don't want to comment unnecessary evil on their status updates but I need to vent.

One of them posted yesterday that she was taking the 3 hour glucose test because she failed her 1 hour. Someone commented, "I bet you will pass! You don't look like you have GD!" Look like it? I didnt realize there was a face for it. She replied, "I know! I eat whatever I want but haven't gained much weight so I can't have it!" I suppose these two women would have a heart attack if they knew my 120 lb co-worker has diabetes.

PSA: GD only happens when you gain gobs of weight apparently.

The second girl had a premature baby a few years ago, around 34 weeks I think. Baby is a healthy toddler now which is great. She is pregnant again and the second she passed the mark that she'd given birth the first time she started posting about how baby needed to come anytime now because her first baby came earlier than that and turned out fine so why wait any longer?

She's been posting for weeks about begging her doctors to induce her early because she is "over being pregnant." They said no because there is no medical need. Today she posted that she HAS to deliver this weekend at the latest because they are moving out of state soon and going to 40 weeks will make it more difficult.

Just.

  • Wow. I have a FB "friend" (acquaintance from HS) who also posts the dumbest sh!t.

    It is super annoying. Yesterday she posted about "what was ok in cribs?" And wanted to know about stuffed animals (not kidding).

    She is always posting about how she doesn't feel well and she can't sleep. And she isn't even in 3rd tri!

    I try to resist giving her advice because I don't think it would help.

  • This is where STFU Parents comes in handy. I don't have FB (for this reason exactly) but I have annoying pregnant friends that text me things that practically make my eyes roll out of their socket.

  • Oh geeze. I have pg "friends" on mine as well that I'd love to just say STFU to. Before I got pg, I thought it was just because I was jealous. Nope, they are in fact morons.

  • @cinderin Mine are both HS acquaintances too. I agree with you about the advice - based on their general ignorance I can't imagine using common sense or even facts would help.

    It makes me cringe with irritation.

  • Wow. I know a few people who have had babies at 34 weeks and I can't say that any of them would want to have a baby that early again. I get irritated when people want the baby to come at 37 weeks.

    I could hold you for a million years
    To make you feel my love.

    I get annoyed when people want the baby to come before 40 weeks! 

    It might be jealousy... I would have *loved* to let DS come on his own and had a vaginal birth! 

    He was breech so I had a scheduled c/s. He did come on his own before the scheduled c/s (which I loved - he picked his birthday!) I still had to have the c/s though.

  • Couldn't agree more with both of you!

    There are enough babies fighting after being born too soon and enough parents worrying about their preemies health and well being. Not to mention all of the parents hoping their babies stay in as long as possible (we are/were one of those sets).

    Why would you hope or ask for that?

    DS came on his own, but he was 6 lbs 4 ounces. I would have liked to have him in longer and put on another pound or two! But he was ready, so there you go :-)

    I hear you completely. If this little guy decides he's ready tomorrow, then so be it! But I definitely won't be calling my doctor begging for an induction tomorrow just because I'm 37 weeks. If an induction is the route we have to go in a few weeks then we will do so gladly but I won't rush him out just because I'm "over being pregnant."

    And definitely not at 34 weeks like those crazy ass women.

    I'm not going to lie. If Bs hypothetical sibling decided to stay in past 38w, I would feel the pregnancy should be over. I wouldn't do anything but complain and tell my unborn child that B is my favorite bc he didn't put me through the last few weeks of pregnancy (totally kidding, obviously). But 38w is completely different than 34w and I wouldn't post anything like that on FB.
