I want my child but i'm tired of being pregnant already?

Question

i know i posted a question earlier about what i can eat during pregnancy but my fiance mother is about to get on my last nerve. everyday she is telling him something about my pregnancy. she told him if we have a boy we gotta pay the hospital to circumcise him which is wrong the insurance pay for that. then i had got some papers from the doctor saying that small consumptions of pork every now and then is okay now she is telling him if i eat pork me or the baby will die. i really do want my child but im tired of hearing people mouths telling me what i should and should not do. she think she know everything about people being pregnant. she told me i cant eat fried chicken but when she was pregnant with his sister she ate church's chicken everyday. should i just ignore her and go by what my doctor say and the papers they gave me?

Answer 1

Ignore her

Answer 2

Giiiiirl leme tell you inlaws and parents are always gonna get involved no matter what. Just uh hmm and ok then move on. Do what you feel is right not only for you but for your baby as well! If you wanna eat fried chicken girl go ahead, you should be able to eat whatever you want and not be discouraged of what someone else is telling you. I know at times you just wanna tell her to just shut up but with all respect you have to respect your elders. Good luck!!

Answer 3

You think the unsolicited advice is bad now?  Just wait until the baby is here!

Answer 4

Gotta suffer sometimes to get what we want, patience and you then will be happy =D

Do what doctor tells u they know best

Answer 5

your dr is much more informed than she is. just listen to your dr.  a lot of what she's telling you are old wives tales.  talk you your hubby about it and have him NICELY ask her to quit.  you're pregnant and hormones can be blamed for just about anything !!   ;)

btw, to follow up on what someone else who posted said.... insurance completely covered the circumcisions on both of my children.  it was 2 different companies and 2 different doctors.

Answer 6

Listen to your doctor and the information he or she gave you.  Your fiance's mother probably has at least some sound advice because she has gone through pregnancies herself; but, if her input is really bothering you-- and it sounds like it is-- just tell her that the stress she's putting you under is not good for you and your unborn child.  Just tell her that you appreciate her words, but you have to learn things on your own too, or else you'll never be a strong independent mother.  

Good luck with everything!  

Answer 7

iam sorry to say u are going to have to learn to deal with ppl telling you how to do stuff cause as soon as u have that baby everyone is a know it all about babies so it olny gets worse id just ignore her or tell her ive spoken with my doctor and he says its ok for me to do this

Answer 8

ok first now you do have to pay the hospital it is like $300. i thought the same thing and when i had my son the nurse asked me if we were going to do it and we said sure our insurance will pay for it and she said it is not medically necassary so they do not. and pork because it carries ring worm or something like that it is not good to eat but is okay as long as you cook it long enough. there are so many things that are said not to do and that is because in rare cases these things can happen is all. sorry for your troubles and congrats on the baby

Answer 9

Why care what she says? Just ignore her.

She may have raised kids...but that doesn't mean she knows everything.

If your husband thinks his mother is right - then tell him to go live with her.

Answer 10

Everybody has an opinion hun...especially the in-laws! Having the baby isn't going to change that...it will continue and probably get worse. "Your not feeding him enough", "You feeding him too much", "You shouldn't change his diaper like that", "Don't feed him that!", "Hes not sleeping enough", "Hes sleeping too much" etc etc etc. Get used to it, in the end you are still the Mother and your decision is final!

Answer 11

She is not the all knowledgeable person she thinks she is. Follow your doctors advice and the advise of the first person.

Politely tell her to butt out, if she doesn't listen then tell her not so politely.  

Answer 12

Wow kinda sounds like mother in law..When I was pregnant she was telling me what i should do and what I shouldn't do..And finally I told her MY doctor gave me all the advice on what and what not to do..and I didn't need hers!!!!!! She would make me mad..she thought she was a doctor! Tell her about it or it will only get worse  

Answer 13

Yeah that woman is a control freak, nothing is wrong with pork or fried chicken or else there would be a warning out on those foods. And home cooked chicken is a lot better than churches because they have all types of hormones in their chicken thats why it's so cheap. It's really sad that they won't let you enjoy your pregnancy. Good Luck on the grand-mama drama
