Is this weird? My MIL reads all about my pregnancy and goes on the apps and then says things like “this week you should be feeling like this” or “by this time you should have gained this much weight.” It makes me feel uncomfortable!

Question

Answer

It sounds like she's just excited. I mean, a little odd. But she loves you and her new grandchild.

Answer

I mean, mothers and mother in laws like to be involved so it’s not that weird? Unless she’s trying to lecture you about how you should be feeling or looking then that’s crossing a line! My boyfriends mother keeps track of what week I’m in and will say ‘happy 28th week!’ Or do research on certain baby items. Lol just how they are!

Answer

My Mom does this. She has all the same pregnancy apps I do lol shes always like "hes the size of an acorn squash today!". Shes just excited.

Answer

Your lucky my mother in law dont ask me anything about this baby ever! Feel like his aunt cares more than his mom and hes an only child with her first grandbaby definitely hurts my feelings. Would rather her wanna be involved than be as distant as she has been.

Answer

I’m a private person, so that would definitely weird me out. 😂 It’d weird me out even if MY mom did it!

Answer

Yes and no. I don’t think it’s weird she’s doing all the research, she want to be involved. But I would lose my patience really fast if either my mom or MIL gave me a synopsis every week. They both know I’m very well researched and informed so they don’t bother, but that would irritate me. But looking for her own information is fine!

Answer

Probably just excited

Answer

My mother in law had several strokes and can't be a part of this pregnancy due to her mental state.  And my mother lives in another state and can't be as involved as I would like. So I kind of wish I had someone who cared.

Answer

I wouldn’t be weirded out with her being excited about the baby, like “baby is the size of a squash” or “baby should be about 11 inches by now”, in excitement 
I would be annoyed if she was asking how big baby was and comparing it to her “research” and getting concerned if things weren’t matching up 
Ex. If baby app said baby should be 1 lb and at the ultrasound baby only showed being 14 oz and she started getting upset/telling me to consult the doctor  about baby being “behind” 
My SO mom isn’t really crazy about stuff like that, but my mom has some younger friends who are having babies and for whatever reason gets concerned if my pregnancy doesn’t match up to theirs and it annoys the shit out of me.

Answer

Sounds like she’s just excited and trying to be involved/show that she cares.
