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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my morbidly obese mother gave me an angry lecture at dinner, saying without any trace of irony that my vegetarian diet is "unhealthy and utterly unacceptable". FML
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
Today, my mum was saying she needs to gain weight because she was underweight according to her doctor. She then said she's going to eat like me in order to gain more weight. 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, I tried to nicely talk to my daughter about her rapid weight gain. Having a family history of weight-related illness, I felt it was necessary. I offered to get thyroid tests, teach her to buy healthy food, and start routine exercise. She told everyone I called her a cow and had fat-shamed her. FML
Today, while at my mom’s house, my mom told me that I need to seriously curb my food intake. Then I went to my dad’s house and he told me I need to gain weight. I can’t win here. FML
Today, I felt sick to my stomach, so I told my mother I didn't want to eat dinner. She started accusing me of being anorexic, so I ate a little bit anyway to make her stop. I then threw up, only for her to take it as confirmation that I have an eating disorder. FML
Today, my mom asked me if I had an eating problem because I've been eating less. I only started eating less because she told me I ate too much. FML
Today, my husband wants me to apologize for getting angry when his father told me I'm getting so fat that I look like a whale. I'm not fat, I'm just 8 months pregnant. FML
Today, my mother told me I've gained so much weight recently, she thinks I should get gastric bypass surgery. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Just because you are knocked up doesnt give you an excuse to become a fat pig. assuming you know who the father is, which nowadays women are encouraged to be *****, any future man that you get with will want you back down to an exceptable weight. Also, maybe you could eat healthy for the baby. But that would require a woman to think of someone other than herself.

From the way you speak, I'm sure you're just rolling in the ladies. Thanks for coming to FMyLife and giving all us women advice so we know what's expected of us. P.S. "Acceptable", not "exceptable"

wtf is your problem, maybe she is with someone now, mashed potatoes dont make you a fat pig, and saying taht women dont think of others is stupid. If you are a dude, watch 40 year old virgin and realize taht will be you, but if you are a chick, this just makes you sound stupider by dissing your own kind

Unless she's flat out stupid which is her fault . . . You probably haven't told her that and as such YDI.

1- preggo not thinking healthy for either herself OR MORE IMPOTANTLY, the baby which can do nothing to protect itself 2- the mother who raised this selfish person, & also doesnt seem to know her daughter is knocked up. Both just prime examples of the best woman kind have to offer. Actually, I think the mother could actully be saying what I was saying. Eat healthy, not like a pig.

Having a daughter crave potatoes should be the last thing on her mind; her daughter is knocked up!

It's hard to tell without more details, but it sounds like the mother's main complaint is her daughter's overall eating habits, not just with this one occurrence. Being pregnant is not a free pass to eat anything you want in whatever quantities you want - the caloric needs of a pregnant woman for much of her pregnancy are not as high as a lot of people think. It is possible the OP is getting fat IN ADDITION TO progressing through her pregnancy. If this is the case, then YDI.
