Ftm venting

I’m a FTM and my mom is always asking me if I took my prenatal vitamins, asking me where my sons pediatrician will be. Asking me if I’m giving my son his fathers last name…I feel like I’m always being questioned! Don’t get me wrong here, I appreciate her support but sometimes it’s too much. Also the other day I went for an ultrasound and took her with me. She told me about a dream she had and I know it’s a dream literally but she said she was hounding me basically telling me it’s time for a diaper change or I need to feed my son. I really hope this isn’t a reflection of how she’s going to be when I have my son around her. Like I said I appreciate her support I really do but I also don’t want to be badgered about things. I know she’s excited and all but I’m moody and I think I will do the best at taking care of my son as I humanly can. I don’t want to hurt her feelings but I don’t want to be nagged about my parenting skills. No I’m not going into this with experience but no first time parent does. I really hope she calms down.

I’m adding this, but also sometimes I’m not sure if my sons dad and I will work out together. We don’t fight or anything much but he lacks communication and isn’t always the guy I am interested in being a family with. Regardless my mom said to me, well I hope you will let me take him when I want him, not always when it’s convenient for you! I said, “if I have to share him with his dad meaning 50/50 custody, and I have a job, he will most likely be in day care if our schedules are the same, and then I will want to spend time with my son on my days when I am off work, ect. Sometimes I feel like it’s always going to be something considering this is the first grandchild in my family. Plus on that my parents are divorced so I have to find a lot of time for everyone to see him on my days and times. Seems like it can be frustrating.
