i would send out an email stating that right now you are not able to deal with any additional stress due to your high risk pregnancy and that you would appreciate it if they let you focus on your health and that of your baby and left you out of any family issues.
if that does not work, block them all temporarily on your phone, email and any other ways they can contact you and go from there. i know i did the same thing with both pregnancies. i asked to leave me alone and let me just be.
I second Pickleboot. Give them a warning shot. If they don't listen, block them out. You've got more important things to deal with right now than their petty (and as you said) routine bullshit.
What both posters said! At a time like this, they should be rallying to take care of *you*, not leaching your energy with their self centred bullshit. Maybe not your Dad so much, but getting upset isn't helpfull and he's old enough to know it. Is there anyone, or any agency that can help you right now, especially with Alena?
I agree with what everyone else has been saying. Tell people that right now, if it's not urgent that they need to talk to someone else. Extra stress is bad for you and the baby right now, and unless it's critical for you to know about something this very second, they can keep it to themselves for a while and let you chill.
And if they don't want to agree with that, certainly start muting them on Facebook/email/whatever.
I'm sure Anthony realizes that you have to be more careful right now, so don't worry so much about him and the house. And if anyone can care for Alena for even a short time, invite them to do so. It will be easier on you, and Alena won't be missing out on things because you're not your usual self. Can you even get a babysitter to come in while you're there or something? Maybe a teenager who needs to do their community service hours? Even if they are just doing little things that help reduce your stress level, it could make a difference.
