She really said that?
I don't understand my MIL sometimes. I had a doctors appointment last week (the day before I turned 36 weeks) and my midwife said baby boy is head down and wayyyy down in my pubic bone. Great news right? So when my

Your MIL sounds like mine...lol

Mine says things like "how are you feeling?" I respond, "I puked on the way to preschool drop off today & am pretty spent." She may respond, "that's nice glad you're doing ok."

I'm sorry you didn't get a positive response. I wouldn't tell her anything else for my own peace of mind if I were you. I did the same with my MIL. Congrats on your babies position! Good for you!?

Talk about downer! That's why I don't talk to my mil at all anymore. She's so negative and toxic. I'll send you positive energy that baby stays in that position until d day :)

My mother is a negative Nancy....I just learned not to talk to her about my pregnancy at all. Anytime she asks how my baby girl is doing, I literally give her a one word response......which is usually she's good. Lol

That's weird! But dont worry hun, your baby will stay in that position. My baby was breech until 33 weeks and than at 34 weeks scan she was head down. Today, I am 37w2d and she's still head down :) So, just be happy and dont let other people ruin the joy ;)

It's not a big deal it's the truth lol I'm straight forward with ppl so I don't want anyone to sugar coat anything that's just me.

...then why even bother asking???

That sounds just like my mom. Literally every time I have talked to her since finding out im pregnant, she has something negative to say about how hard it will be with a two year old and a newborn. Like, gee thanks mom, appreciate the support here.

It's way more likely that the baby will stay head down at that point, but even though there is a small chance they could still flip, why point it out?! Us pregnant ladies have enough to deal with as it is, we dont need any added negativity!

Sounds like something my MIL would say. She text every day to see how I'm doing, I always say good nothing new and she always says good YOU need to keep that baby in there longer! Like I have any control ?
She also told me if I go full term he will be to big to push out and I should talk to my doctor about induction next week...I want to ask her sooo badly "sense when can you see into the future??"

I ignore 100% of everything that comes out of my MILs mouth. Glad she lives in another state. If it's not obnoxious it's bizarre and incorrect (and she always thinks she is correct). She has a horrible recollection of facts and events but is always argumentatively certain about herself. My husband is 48, but she is actually younger than my parents (teen mom), but her thinking is beyond antiquated and archaic.

My mother in law had her baby in the formula is best era so she constantly challenged me breastfeeding and would say I wasn't giving the best nutrients bc man made milk was created by the smartest doctors and I was not fully nourishing my baby with breastmilk and that I was teaching her to be needy and spoiled by needing to nurse only from me and I should train her to a bottle so others can handle her. Ect ect. Whatever. Parent how YOU like and I'll parent how I like ?❤️

Because of issues I had birthing my 1st and 2nd kids my OB has monitored my baby's growth a lot this pregnancy. My husband and SIL and I were talking about it and my MIL told us that we were intervening too much. My husband said 'well we have good reason too, this has happened twice before, it's likely to happen again, and if we took that risk of leaving things the baby could be hurt or die' and my mil goes 'well that's up to God'. ???

@bambino oh my!!! She sounds like such a delight ? I'm surprised you didn't deck her!

Omg bambino we have the same lady. My MIL said to the whole family she needed to confront me about my birth choices for my first labour because "I nearly killed her grandson". I'm sorry my vagina didn't agree with your plans ?
