Have NCd for this as DH knows my usual name...
I'm 43 and have just had my first baby. I made sure I was in great health before and during the pregnancy and was lucky enough to have no problems or complications and was blessed with a healthy bundle of joy.
My MIL is generally a nice woman and very supportive in many was but during my pregnancy, particularly in the final weeks when she stayed with us, she started making lots of comments about my age. Such as 'Well you left it rather late, you only just caught the window didn't you.' And 'the midwives must be very concerned given your age' and 'I imagine all your friends have grown up children now - you must be the last to have one?'
I just ignored these, didn't mention them to my husband and tried not to let my hormones turn it into a big issue.
Yesterday she came to visit us. She didn't ask how I was but later in the day I mentioned something along the lines of me 'not being 100% yet' and she came straight back with 'That will be your age'.
I was astonished at such a rude and daft comment. Surely even a 16 year old would not be 100% two weeks after giving birth?
I'm at a loss to understand why she is hung up about my age and feels the need to point it out so often. It's not as if she is concerned for me/my health. And I'd never dream of making comments about her age!
Am I being over-sensitive?
