To want MIL to stop saying I'm huge!

I'm 34 weeks pregnant. So far, I haven't been sensitive or overly emotional to too many things. I've had the odd sob sesh (for no particular reason!) but in general I think I've been pretty settled.
However, my MIL, in the last few weeks has made repeated comments on how big I am. These range from simple comments like "oh you're stretching again" which are fairly tame to "oh my god girl, you are massive" and "oooft - you're huge!" and the one that tipped me over the edge last night "i think it's going to be a 10lb baby".
I politely said to her that at my last scan 2 weeks ago, baby was only around 3 1/2 to 4 pounds to which she replied, "yeh well that was 2 weeks ago, let's see!".
I'm paranoid about what I'm eating now and worried that I'm not seeing what other people are seeing.
My DH keeps telling me I look great and I thought in general I hadn't gained too much weight across the rest of my body but I can't help thinking about it now Confused

I was 2/3 weeeks pregnant when mil gave a box of biscuits to my husband and told me not to have any more. Just ignore her. She sounds vacant.
