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

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.

It could be worse. Maybe your mom has had it with you. Because your only telling half of the story. But I know being pregnant gives you mood swings, I been there. Maybe you need to cut her some slack, she hasn't given up on you. I was agree with #22 you should be in a hospital, so the doctors can make sure everything is going alright.

YDI for counting weeks! Seriously what is it with women and saying 38 weeks instead of nine and half months. J/K about the YDI, sounds like you have a very selfish mom there, unless you have abused your situation.

Because the baby goes through specific changes in specific weeks. You have to know which week you are on especially if you end up in the ER or something. It's not said to be annoying it's said to be accurate.

#36- women talk in weeks because that is how the babys growth is measured....... ya know, by medical doctors?

#25 - That has to be the stupidest response I've seen on this thread. So many assumptions! She lives at home...she was overweight before getting preggers...her mom is footing all the bills...the baby is illegitimate. Judgmental much? And it's extremely common for first pregnancies to go past term. I was several weeks late and the doctor didn't induce. It makes sense she'd be on bed rest at that point.

but this isn't even past term. I wish I saw that gem of a comment though

#36 Doctors refer to the pregnancy in weeks. Because different things happen at different weeks. What is it with you being an ignorant fool?

#25 is just smarter than everyone else. He knows things without even the slightest indication of their validity. He just KNOWS.

9 months is about 39 weeks, and pregnancies normally last about 38. You guys forgot that a month is a bit more than 4 weeks.

I agree with #8. Your mom probably said you're a 'lazy fat ****' not 'lazy fat slug'. Why would she call you a slug? But she would call you a **** because you're most likely a teenager, living at home, about to pop a baby out, and your mom is probably at her wits end! Just my opinion.

I don't really see how someone could deserve this. I've known several women who had problems during pregnancy where they were put on bed rest. When a doctor puts a pregnant woman on bedrest, you are not supposed to leave the bed for any circumstances. You are not allowed to go to the kitchen for a snack. You are not supposed to tidy up a bit. You are not even supposed to take a shower. So for the commenters to say that the OP is lazy, you should just be quiet and stop jumping to conclusions.
