November 2012 Moms

Things my mom says...

My mother is super excited about her first grandchild, but I have no idea where she gets this stuff from.

Today's convo about my 1st OB appt on Wed.:

Ma: I think you'll be surprised, she'll probably tell you that you're a little further along than you thought. I bet you're about 10 weeks. (I'm 8)

Me: Ma, I've shown you my chart, and I was THERE during the conception, I'm pretty sure about how far along I am.

Ma: I think you'll be surprised when you call me and tell me you're about 10 weeks.

Me: Well, that would mean I got pregnant while on my period, and we didn't even have sex that week.

Ma: You'll see.

Me: What grounds do you base this on?

Ma: I just have a hunch.

Me: Well, if you're right, we'll have to call the newspapers and tell them about the 2nd immaculate conception.

Ma: Ok!

Oy!

  • Got to love our moms! My mom swears that I am having twins because of her hunch. I've had five ultrasounds. I am SURE there is only one baby in there, but she won't believe me.

  • Moms are so weird.

    Is she old school or does she understand science at all?

  • Oh my god, that would drive me bonkers.  My mom has learned A LOT about the science of getting pregnant after watching all that I've been through, but at the beginning she definitely had tons of misconceptions and "old wives tale" sort of thoughts about pregnancy.  I would go absolutely insane if she was always trying to pretend like she knew more than me though.

  • Haha! My mom apparently doesn't know a single woman who ever had a miscarriage (or, as I always tell her, she does but she just doesn't know it), so whenever I express fears she brushes them off as paranoid and unrealistic.

    BFP1: DD1 born April 2011 at 34w1d via unplanned c/s due to HELLP, DVT 1 week PP
    BFP2: 3/18/12, blighted ovum, natural m/c @ 7w4d
    BFP3: DD2 born Feb 2013 at 38w4d via unplanned RCS due to uterine dehiscence

  • Oh I can join in here!  My mom is super excited. She has 21 grand kids but the youngest is 8. She is ready to buy everything and keeps telling me not to take anything used.  I just can't go there yet. Maybe once I'm further along.  She asks me everyday how I feel but no answer is right, if I say fine she worries it is a mc. If I say sick or tired she laughs and says get used to it. Glad I love her!

    Love this - particularly because we are all about to become moms (for those who aren't already) and one day our kids will say this about us!

  • My MIL is the nuts one.. this past weekend we told the families and my MIL asked when I was due (11/3) and she exclaimed - "Oh! So Soon!" We all kinda looked at each other like what is she talking about?? She acted as if I was due next month! The next day we were joking about it and I was saying, what did she expect us to tell her the night we conceived??

  • My mom used to scream at my belly during my first pregnancy "BE A GIRL!" even after I had my big ultrasound and the tech was more than certain she saw little boy parts. I told her with #2 that she was forbidden from speaking to my fetus because it's really annoying and because we were 100% positive he was a boy as well (amino results don't lie)

    Things to avoid during pregnancy: Eye contact with cats. Cats will suck the burgeoning life right out of you, using their infamous feline mind-powers. Avert your eyes, and move along.

    FACT: 1 in 10 people are said to be a carrier of Listeria. Therefore you should avoid all shopping malls, grocery stores and busy street corners for the duration of your pregnancy. Or microwave anyone you contact until steaming, just to be safe.
