I'm annoyed

[tb42]

with my mom-in-law telling me everything what to do ( what she believes is right )like: i shouldn't buy maternity clothes because her daughter went through 9 month without one ( but none of my clothes fit me now ), i was bleeding and doctor told me to rest and also i miscarried once and after the first blood test and appnt. i was told to rest more and no hard work and not walk too much, she said i'm worried too much( i had to walk over an hour when she's shopping ), or i shouldn't eat dairy products because it would harm the baby, or touch the dogs on the street because it's dangerous for baby, i should wash everything with hot water and disinfected everything after it's used, i shouldn't have the scan until i'm 5-6 months preg. to see baby sex because it's a waste of money,bla bla bla.. this really drives me crazyi really don't want to be here when she come for a visit in April.

gosh, has your MiL got OCD...?

I'd say buy maternity wear cause i just did after struggling along in normal clothes that were just a couple of sizes bigger and i feel so much sexier. Maternity wear is designed for our bumps, I'm going out tonight in my new stuff and can't wait cause i feel so much better looking pregnant rather than just fat!

Don't listen to your MiL it's your pregnancy not hers, just nod and smile and say yes i am wearing a specially made invisible barrier so don't fret

What does she think women did 50-100-2000 years ago? or women in other countries? If all these things are going to be so terribly harmful it's a wonder any of us made it into the world!

I'm so sorry to hear you are having problems with your MIL. You need to tell her (as nicely as possible) that you are following your doctors orders and no one else's if your doctor thinks you need to rest, than you will rest, no questions asked! As for the maternity clothes it's none of her business if you wear them or not. I've been in them for weeks!

Oh boy, she sounds like a handful! I am very fortunate as my MIL isn't like that nor is my own mother. So I truly feel for you and if you can, talk to her and explain how you feel without hurting her feelings. If possible Good luck!

One more thing, if you have the money, buy maternity clothes. I didn't buy much in my other pregnancies and I felt like a big frump wearing my hubbies sweatshirts, etc. Believe me, after that, I never wore his clothes again when I got back to normal.

With this pregnancy, I don't want to feel frumpy! It just got me depressed and not excited about being pregnant throughout the other times.

One feels good when they look good

if we don;t do what she says, i know she gets annoyed or unhappy, so my husband is taking me to the sunday market looking for a few clothes today. I don't mind people give their clothes, the problem is I'm live in Asia
My husband was excited about the scan and he saw his baby, so he called her to share his excitement, but she only said i was worried too much - can;t she say something else or nothing at all ? ( I has internal scan because i was bleeding ) , so talk as nice as possible doesn;t work dear.
Thank you for all opinions though

Oh shame. I'm with Imi though. Tell her to mind her own business.

My MIL is an evil, manipulative, psychotic {insert not very nice word} She showed those true colours when I had my m/c
My DH's written her off. So luckily I don't have to deal with her crap on top of trying to get everything organised.

Really don't listen to her. Or just tell her it's not her pregnancy thus none of her business.

Hopefully she'll get the hint.

Liking Gabi's way of putting things .....

My Ex MIL was a complete witch .. still is as far a s i know and the most controlling bint i have EVER met ....

Just tell her to keep her bloody oar out of your business!

How very annoying! I know my mother-in-law would be the same way except she lives 10 hours away.....good thing. Try not to listen to her for your sake. You do not need this right now or ever actually. It is your baby and do what you want. I bought some maternity clothes last week and it was exciting for both me and the hubby. I tried them on for him like it was a fashion show. He enjoyed it and it made us super excited! By the way...pet the dogs and don't tippy-toe around life....this is a moment in life we are gifted enough to experience and enjoy and don't let anyone ruin that for you. Congrats!

Aww, I'm sorry hun, I guess i've been lucky with my MIL, she is there when I need her, and leaves us alone when we don't, we only speak to her once a week
