That title was harsher than I intended...
Let me start by saying that I have really and truly lovely coworkers. I am also in the latter stages of my first pregnancy at a slightly advanced age and am having a number of issues. Because folks can see me hobbling down the hall (mostly to get water, because I'm so darn thirsty!), I get a cascade of "are you alright, are you okay, need anything," etc. Because I get up about once an hour, I'm really tired of it. I also need to walk around to help with some of my issues. Frankly, I'm trying not to think about my issues and would really prefer if folks just left me alone. Any thoughts or suggestions?
As an aside, I was also the OP on the refusing the baby shower thread -- it sorted itself out well, as a coworker who is also pregnant had a baby shower and folks were pleased with that. Word got around through a trusted coworker that baby showers are "not my thing," which everyone understood.
