Mother in law thinks maternity pics are slutty UPDATE

UPDATE:

Thank you all for the amazing comments! I can def see where she’s coming from to an extent. A lot has happened in the past few days so bare with me lol. My MIL and I have always had a great relationship and it even became stronger over the past few years as my husband and I battled infertility. This little girl is an ivf miracle. Anyway, things went downhill fast after I got pregnant. She complains about everything from her perception of my parenting style (mind you baby isn’t born yet 🙃) to how the nursery is decorated. So the maternity pics were just the thing that finally broke me. Anyway, she took screenshots of the photos and sent them to most of my husbands family (sister in law, father in law, aunts, uncles, his conservative Italian grandparents) basically looking for them to agree with her. Fortunately, everyone told her the pictures were so pretty and a good representation of the beauty of a mothers changing body. Even his very old School grandmother commented that she wishes she would have been able to see herself

As beautiful when she was pregnant 🥺🥺 at our baby shower the following day, she wouldn’t stop bringing up the pictures and how awful they were. Basically asking what my future plans were: playboy or? That night we went to dinner with her and my sister and my sister in law and a few others and my husband stopped her when she started again and said it was uncalled for. She is free to have her opinions but we really like the pictures and we love how they make us feel and capture the beauty of the moment. She kept going, he kept shutting her down. Later on, we were all talking about what the plan is for when the baby is born and how we would like to wait about a week for anyone to stay in our home after we get home from the hospital (we live in tx, everyone else in ca). Basically if people wanted to visit before then, they’d have to stay in a hotel. She was visibly mad. We than also mentioned everyone who would visit needed to have vaccines updated and the whooping cough and flu shot. She lost it. Said I’m trying to keep her from her grandchild, that I won’t tell her when or under what circumstances she can have her grandchild, etc. basically I want to keep “her sons child” all to myself and I’m already not doing well considering my “hussy” photos and lack of moral guidelines. And the fact that we plan on disciplining using more than just timeouts (again my Kid isn’t even born yet) she’ll just make sure to have cps on speed dial so I can’t tell her what to do after the baby is born. Y’all, this is so out of left field. Like she’s always been extra but this was just bizarre. My husband took her outside and they chatted and she was asking him to drive her back to her hotel and stay with her for a while so They could talk. Just one more way to try and demand his attention. He refused and called her an Uber and said we could talk when she was willing to rethink what she was saying and understand that this is our child and I am his wife and the mother of this child and everyone else can kick rocks. She called me today to apologize and said she’s really struggling bc she feels weird being not in control (she hasn’t been in control for years but ok) and that she feels like I’m trying to keep her son and grandchild away from her. We had a long talk and I don’t really think anything’s changed, I didn’t really feel like there was a resolution. But I’m legit starting to think there might be something medically wrong. Like the paranoia is unreal. Has anyone else dealt with anything similar? Starting to actually worry about her now that I’m not so mad about the pictures.

So we had maternity pics taken yesterday and I just got a sneak peek. I was in love. I haven’t felt super confident since getting pregnant but these made me feel the glow so many talk about lol. Any my mother in law freaked and said they are “interesting” and I don’t look clothed and these should be for my husbands eyes only bc they’re slutty. I don’t think so but then I got in my head about it bc hormones. Is she right? Also, not all of them show my belly, just the two we already got back.
