Let me preface by saying I love my mom to no end and she’s always been my right hand.

So at my last drs appt I gained 10lb in 4 weeks. I’m currently in the 3rd trimester now. During the first 24ish weeks I had TERRIBLE nausea and aversions. I originally lost 7 lbs and the. Remained consistent for a few weeks once I gained some back.

Drs weren’t concerned and blood pressure and blood work is all normal. In my first pregnancy I had GD. I was on a super strict diet and literally only gained all belly weight. No extra weight and I didn’t have bad sugar/carbs the second half of my pregnancy to maintain it solely with diet. So when I called my mom about my appt she immediately said I have to start being careful. Fine. Typical mom thing. However the amount of comments I have gotten from her since then about how big my stomach has gotten and how I need to watch what I eat has really started to throw me off.

Last night she made MULTIPLE comments in regards to my weight and “being careful” with sugar intake. Even went as far to say “oh you can take this milk. It’s zero sugar so you don’t have to worry.”

She thought she was being funny but it really hurt me. I hear day in and day out from patients and coworkers how “big” I am I don’t need to hear it from my mom.

Obviously the drs aren’t concerned. I know she’s my

Mom and has no filter but damn. Really giving me a complex 😭
