having a little girl!

And my mother in law is trying to take over everything. I'm very small for 22 weeks, but my weights and baby is healthy...she's constantly nagging about how little I am. Part of it I think is that she just wants to see a big baby belly and the other I think is because she wants to have something to complain about. Advice?

That is really annoying, last time my boyfriend's mother said I eat to much of something that I always crave and that my baby is going to be fat and I replied "yea, like her grandmother" it really bothered me with her saying that but I rather say something back and make her feel bad also. After that my boyfriend followed up telling her to mind her business and that she's always worrying about people's life to worry about hers. After that she hasn't said nothing.

I would just ignore her. That's what I'm learning to do now with my mother and father in law they keep telling me I'm eating too much and always making comments about my weight but as long as my baby and I are healthy that's all that matters to me.

Tell her that neither you or the baby need negative comments made and of she can't learn to keep her comments to herself you don't want her around
