Overzealous Facebook friends?

[toratoratori]

My husband's friend's wife just posted on my Facebook wall, "Any signs of labor yet?!" Am I weird in thinking that this is kind of creepy? I know people are just excited, but I literally barely know her.

I also had someone comment on my bump picture from this weekend, "make sure you get the extra stitch work. seriously." I don't even know WTF that means and now I'm scared.

I hate when people do this.

It's time to lock down your wall so no one else can post messages on your wall. (There's ap rivacy setting for that.) They can comment, but not post new wall messages.

Also, this website is your friend:

www.haveyouhadthatbabyyet.com/

I thought about doing that, but there are people who I still want to have access to my wall :\ Too bad you can't be more selective.

I also wish there was a way to turn off comments on specific pictures. And filter out any text messages with the word "baby" in them.

Next time I'm not telling anyone I'm pregnant until she's born.

That's about the stage where I don't comment back and just leave them wondering

"The stitch" is referring to a horrible practice some doctors used to do of repairing any tears then stitching you up tighter than before, supposedly for your husband's added pleasure since the thinking was that it would make you "tighter". It's considered genital mutilation and is pretty universally been decried as an outrage that possibly permanently makes sex painful for a woman. And doesn't do much for a man either.

You can block just people from commenting. But yes, this stage of pregnancy can really bring out the weirdos!! Good luck, we're all on edge here for you!

Yikes. I cleaned up my friends list before J was born so I would feel more comfortable paying photos of him. Might be a good time to do that...

I'm pretty selective about who I have on there already. Maybe I need to invest some time in lists.

Exactly this. Which is why I chose an OB who doesn't do episiotomies, and I know would respect my wishes to not do the 'husband stitch'.

And, to let you know you're not alone, my SIL texted me yesterday with, "Is your baby still being cooked? Haha." I replied with, "As far as I know..."
