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
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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.

#22,31,35. wow, thanks so much for being the authority on pregnancy.... -_- 40 WEEKS is when ob's WANT the little one coming out, yes you are considered pre term as of 36/37 weeks but that doesnt mean we up and yank the baby out... it just means the baby has developed well enought to survive supremely well outside of his/her mother's womb. we generally induce for 3 reasons... pre-existing conditions that may make a naturally developing labor pattern risky, conditions developed during the pregnancy such as preeclampsia which will also make the natural flow of labor dangerous to mother and child, and when a mom is past her due date (anywhere from one to two weeks is the general rule- otherwise baby will become too large) basically there's no reason her "im 38 weeks and on bedrest claim" is a farce. kthanks.

I don't know how your mom meant it... but I'm saddened with the knowledge that my mom would say the same thing...

This one all depends on your age OP - if you're an adult whose mother has come to stay with you while you're on bedrest, then your mom shouldn't have spoken to you like that (though it's not as if she's obligated to look after you, so perhaps you should consider whether you're being too demanding of her?). If you're a teenager who still lives at home, you have no business being pregnant in the first place, and I don't blame your mother at all for losing her temper/patience with you.

Really people? 40 weeks is 10 months, count it out. Besides, no Dr will put someone who is 38 weeks on bedrest. They'd admit you & deliver your baby.
