Today, I called my mom into my room to ask her to bring me something. She referred to me as a "lazy fat slug." I'm 38 weeks pregnant and was put on emergency bedrest by my doctor. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I asked my mom if she could include mashed potatoes and gravy with dinner. She then went on to yell at me about my "unhealthy eating habits" and how I've "gained a lot of weight in the past few months". I'm pregnant. FML
Today, I was at my in-laws' house, and as I was walking to the living room I had my hands on the back of my hips supporting my back. My mother-in-law told me to stop because it makes me look pregnant. I'm 9 months pregnant. FML
Today, I'm on bed rest after a major surgery. I can walk to the bathroom but can barely raise my hands. At the hospital, my mom gave this dramatic speech of being there whenever I needed her. When I asked her to come make me breakfast, she didn’t show up til noon then complained I was in a bad mood. FML
Today, I texted my mom if she could pick me up from the hospital. She replied, "No fatty, walk home." I have a broken foot. FML
Today, I was called fat by my boyfriend's old-fashioned mom. I'm not close to fat but I'm not really skinny either so she calls me fat. She also complained that my feet makes noise when I walk and that girls shouldn't make noise when walking. This week has been hell. FML
Today, my bedridden mother called me selfish. After an operation two weeks ago, all I've done is feed her, clean her and the house every day. She called me selfish because I couldn't lift a TV into her room. FML
Today, I told my mom that I’m pregnant. She said I could use it as an opportunity to “trim down.” I’m 130lbs and muscular. FML
Today, my lazy, obese mother took the last motor cart at the grocery store. My leg is in a cast. She told me to "use the shopping cart to help with the limp" as she rolled away. FML
Today, while at a family baby shower, my grandfather thought it would be funny to inform me, in front of everyone, that I had gotten fat. I'm 7 months pregnant and the baby shower was for me. FML
Today, while tucking my toddler in bed and telling her I love her, she responded with, "And I love your bouncy castle belly!" I know I'm overweight, but I didn't think I was that fat. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Your mom's rude! She definitely shouldn't say that to you!

Or her mother could have been at her house because she was placed on bedrest and needs someone to take care of her. Good lord, people.

Majority of you have no idea what you are talking about. Take it from someone who knows and just wants to point out a few things: 1) A full term pregnancy is 40 weeks, not 36 or 38. 2) Unless necessary for health reasons, most doctors will not induce labor before 40 weeks and some will even wait until 42 at the latest to induce. 3) Regardless of her age, marital status or weight, her mother could have been at her house (or she at her mom's) for any number of reasons. Don't assume you know everything from a three sentence FML. 4) To those claiming YDI if she was a teen: I was 18 when I got pregnant. I was engaged and lived with my then fiance. When we split when I was 4 months pregnant, I moved back in with my parents. Not every teen that gets pregnant is a *****, promiscuous, or anything along those lines. (And for the record, I'm now a full time student paying for school w/o the aid of my parents, maintiaining a job and raising my soon to be two year old son in one of the wealthiest communities in my city. So don't tell me that all teens that get pregnant are worthless ******.) 5) To those that think only obese women are put on bedrest: If a woman has health conditions that could potentially harm the baby, she WILL be put on bedrest, no matter how far along she is. I am 5' 5" and weigh 120 pounds (both now and before my pregnancy). At 36 weeks I was extremely limited in my actions (by my doctor) because my blood pressure would drop unexpectedly. I could only make one trip up/down the stairs a day. 6) She could also be on bedrest because her baby may have ehxibited health risks or problems in testing. Lesson to be learned? Pregnant women can be very hormonal, yes. However, whether they are on bedrest or not, they she never be talked about or talked down to simply because they are pregnant, REGARDLESS of their situation. HOWEVER, being pregnant does not give any woman the right to abuse the privileges that come along with said pregnancy. Everyone should try to find a common ground. To those helping pregnant women, realize that her body is going through a lot of changes that she probably doesn't know how to handle and really needs your love and support. To the pregnant women, realize that these people are helping you because they love you and they want to help you, not because they have to or because they owe you anything. Try to observe how you treat them. I hope you and your baby are happy and healthy!!

In my opinion..i would not really consider this as an FML...

I would consider that a FML, because her mother is being such a dick, that she wont help her own daughter on emergncy bed rest. thats deffinatly a FML.

I agree with #125.

To everyone who is saying she should have been induced... 9 months is what laypeople say is full term HOWEVER 38 weeks is considered full term and due dates are calculated at 40 WEEKS!!!. #124 is RIGHT!!! No doctor will induce, if the mother is otherwise healthy, until 40 weeks or greater. 36 weeks still poses serious risk to the baby as developement is not complete (that is considered preterm and induction is not advised unless unavoidable). Bed Rest at 38 weeks is perfectly believable. So unless you happen to have an MD, STFU about that already.

If your age is below 20, you SHOULDN'T BE WASTING YOUR DAMN LIFE TO A KID YET! And it probably is, so your mom has all right to say what you are :>.

pregnant women are a big, fat pain in the ass. ydi for being fat and a complaining bitch. you should be kissing the ground your mother walks on, not whining and demanding the world of her. if you want premium care, then PAY for it. your mom is a saint and you are an immobile, gross mess.

@#133 I'm guessing you're a guy, so... I hope that if you ever get married, your wife gets pregnant and you SEE how hard it is to lug around another being in your stomach. Or you know what? Why don't you just take oh say a 7 pound bowling ball stick it up your shirt and lug it around all day. Don't eat while your at it. And do laborous activities that would break your back. If you're a girl, I hope you get pregnant with twins.
