Baby called a blob

newmamastonenewmamastone
in 2nd Trimester
My MIL saw my 14wk ultrasound pictures and persists on calling baby a blob. Every time someone is looking at them, trying to make things out she's like "well its just a blob". It really hurts my feelings that she is calling my beautiful baby a blob. I think it is really insensitive. I get that it is not a crystal clear picture but really -you're describing your grandchild as a blob! Aren't there nicer things you can say? I am sure I am over-reacting but I just do not think it is nice.

    The baby totally looks like a baby at 14 weeks.  I could understand that comment at like 8 weeks, but it has all his/her little parts by 14 weeks. I'd be mad too! I'm mad thinking about it! LOL!

    Tell her what you're saying here. Someone called my baby a blotch once and I quickly corrected her that what she was looking at is indeed a baby. She got the message loud and clear.

    Um, I think she is saying that the picture of the baby is a blob...and really it is in an u/s. Try to keep your pregnancy sensitivity in check. This is nothing to be sad or hurt about.?

    It's not the nicest term in the book, I'll agree with that.

    I don't think it's a big deal though.

    Dh and I called our kid "blob" after the first u/s for awhile too. We didn't mean anything by it.

    When I asked my dr what they are looking for when they look at the u/s he said "A jellybean with a heartbeat". I guess it's different than a blob, but I don't think it would bother me unless, like, she is really saying it to be mean. You know??

    Agree with pp, sounds like you guys got a bad u/s pic because you should see nubs  :(

    There is no possible way they could mean anything by it.  My mom called my LO a shrimp with my 7 week u/s image ......and I did not take offense to it.  I thought it was funny.

    you may be overreacting some...we called the baby "smudge" after our first 2 ultrasounds.  but by 14 weeks, the baby looks more like a baby - at least ours did at 12 weeks.,

    Maybe she thinks it's endearing?  I never know with MIL's....
