Is this a weird text to receive from MIL?

Is this a weird text to receive from MIL or am I just being hormonal from the pregnancy? I received this after I texted her an update on our latest scan. “Brilliant. Hope you all well and that you are not getting too many bruises from the kicking! Xx”

I am totally confused! What exactly do you think is weird about that?

Atalune · 26/04/2021 18:43

Not weird.

HmmmmmmInteresting · 26/04/2021 18:43

Totally normal and nice text. What is up, OP?

Stoptalkingtome · 26/04/2021 18:43

Completely normal text. What don't you like?

Totally normal and nice

Doesn’t sound weird to me, just a nice text?

youvegottenminuteslynn · 26/04/2021 18:45

Normal and sweet! Can't think what the issue with this particular text would be so I'm assuming there are existing problems between you and her OP?

partyatthepalace · 26/04/2021 18:45

It’s completely normal - she sounds friendly and like she’s trying to relate in a light way.

Motnight · 26/04/2021 18:46

Op why do you think that it is an odd text?

Jesus wept. Don't go down this road, you'll regret it.

Justmuddlingalong · 26/04/2021 18:47

I think you're hormones are playing with your emotions. It seems a perfectly kind, engaged and excited message.

PinkCookie11 · 26/04/2021 18:48

Sounds lovely to me!
Not sure what’s weird

Completely fine - not sure what you think is weird?

8Track · 26/04/2021 18:50

Sounds lovely, like she really cares about you and wants to know you're feeling okay. And congratulations, OP!

TheUndoingProject · 26/04/2021 18:50

Seems like a really nice message to me! Is this a reverse?

Youdontknowwhatyoureonabout · 26/04/2021 18:51

Chemenger · 26/04/2021 18:51

Just totally normal; try as I might I cannot see how it could be thought weird.
