Anyone else have a mother in law that makes you feel even more self-conscious about the weight gain and is completely rude to you?

Question

Answer

Mine just said to me "I don't know if you are going to your due date I think you will be early your so big already" I'm trying to be nice and I let it go because she's a little heavy and I think is just jealous of the pregnancy I'm having compared to hers. She's always talking about how swollen she was. I have no swelling just a big belly like I'm stealing a watermelon 😎

Answer

Another story, I had lost 40+ lbs before our wedding, and was quite slim and lean before getting pregnant. So I'm pretty sensitive about the pregnancy weight gain and even though I'm on the smaller side for 33 weeks, I'm just uncomfortable with my body right now. I tend to wear loose, drapey tops in public to sort of hide the bump even more and a new co-worker a few weeks ago didn't even realize I was pregnant.

SO. Again, at home in the heat trying to stay cool and comfortable. I think I was in a very light, stretchy tank top that was definitely more form-fitting, and maybe soccer or PJ shorts. DH on FaceTime with the inlaws and they ask where I am (also just saying, I'm not a phone person and I HATE FaceTime and avoid facetiming the inlaws as much as possible) and despite me shaking my head to tell him NO, he rotates the phone to show me sprawled out in the recliner. MIL goes "OH it's so nice to see you LOOKING pregnant! Look at that belly!!"

I know she's not doing it to be mean but seriously, f*ck you lady. And kind of you too, DH. 😡

Answer

Mine just blurts out stupid things that are really awkward, like hubs was on FaceTime with them and I came into the frame to say hi. It's insanely hot and we don't have A/C so I was wearing a very light, stretchy summer dress from Old Navy. It's not super revealing or anything, but also its my goddamn house and I'm just trying to be comfortable relaxing IN MY HOME. So I appear on the screen and she goes "OH I see your boobs are getting bigger!!" ...........wtf lady. Perv!!!!

Answer

My MIL probably would, since she did before when I had gained weight and was over weight. (And while I was losing the weight too) but she gained 50 pounds with my SIL so she has no room to talk and has been very understanding about my gain!

Answer

No, my MIL basically just ignores my pregnancy altogether. 😓

Answer

Yes! Ours must be related!  Every time she sees me her first words are OMG you are huge! And worst she calls and tells everyone else! I get calls from my sister in law saying my mom called and said your huge, can you send me a picture?!? Like wtf! Whole family is rude!
