Hi everyone
Feel like I need a bit of a safe space to rant and share feelings and would really appreciate thoughts on my worries.
I'm 26 weeks pregnant, baby was a total surprise and finding out wasn't the typical celebration. Partner didn't handle the news too well and we lived separately for 3 weeks for him to get his head around it all. Things couldn't be more different now and we're so excited to become a family and he could not be more supportive of me.
I have a super protective mum who lives a few hours away, and she is so so excited to become a nanny. When I first found out I was excited to be pregnant but was very stressed with the way things were between my partner and I, and almost as soon as I moved back home with him I got HG and suffered with it from about 6 weeks until 22. It really impacted the way I felt about the pregnancy as I just wasn't enjoying any of it, lost a lot of weight and most days couldn't do anything but lay and sleep.
Recently my mum keeps making comments toward me about the things she has "expected" of me being pregnant and I just don't know how to handle this? She says things about having thought I'd have already got names lined up, that she thought I'd have had my hospital bags packed weeks ago, she told me she didn't think it was "me" not to have found out the gender.
How do I handle this? I want to tell her to back off but know how much it would hurt her and don't know how much of it is me being hormonal?
Kind words would really be appreciated xxx
