Relationships advancement after PG

edited October 2014 in April 2015 Moms
i have never been in good terms with my mother for my whole life. We never had a mother-daughter kind of thing ever. Surprisingly to me that after my pregnancy we are becoming close...we'd chat much longer than we used to without fighting and she gives me some nice advice. Maybe it is too late for such progress but I enjoy it :)

As for my stepmother, she doesn't have children of her own. She is becoming much more nicer to me after I got pregnant :D

Do you girls have any relationships that changed for the better due to your pregnancy?

    Yes! I have 3 sisters and the oldest one and I have never really gotten along, for a large messy variety of reasons.

    Since having my first child, we have gotten 100x closer. Literally went from never talking unless basically forced, to now she actually is providing daycare 2x a week. And we actually talk and know things about each other. Doesn't mean we always get along or that I agree with how she choses to do some things (and visa versa I'm sure), but our relationship got exponentially better after having my daughter.

    Good luck - I hope it stays that way for you (and me too)!

    Unfortunately I have the opposite. As of this weekend in fact I have had to cut my brother out of my life. He has anger problems and has relapsed in his drug addiction. I refuse to allow my child to witness this type on behavior and after an altercation on Friday DH and I decided it was for the best. Thankfully my mother and stepfather support this decision, but I don't know that it has made mom and stepdad closer with me either. I had hoped it would help rekindle the closeness I used to have with my mother, but so far it hasn't done much for that. I guess we'll see.
    I hope it lasts for you and continues to help grow those relationships for you.

    I think my mother and i are getting better after years of a strained relstionship, due to her mental health issues. Things have been getting better over the years, but since i told her i was pregnant, she has had the excitement and happiness sbout 100 people (lol). So that helps. She has also been helpful and given some solid advice.

    Unfortunately, my relationship with my mother in law has declined... or at least on my end. I feel she is getting too old and is too out of touch to see eye to eye with me. She has even had the nerve to tell my husband i was incapable of finding a doctor on my own (currently uninsured and i haven't seen a real doctor in like 7 or 8 years), yet her suggestions were planned parenthood (who do not do exams, you basically waste a good portion of your day to have them tell you who to go see) and free clinics... or find a random doctor and see if they can do what they need to do and she'd pay for the appointment. Little did she know, our first appointment was about 1k. Idk if DH told her, but i decided after her email incident that DH gets to deal with her and answer her questions unless we are in person.

    Thank you! It's been weighing on me for awhile, so it wasn't a snap decision but I know it's for the best for my future kiddo and that's all that matters to us right now. TBH I'm hopeful it'll help spur him in the right direction to get the help he needs, but I won't hold my breath. Thankfully we have lots of other friends and family that help keep us positive!

    My SO's sister has become much closer to me but there was some tension with his family for a little bit. I have a cousin who is also pregnant and wants to do everything together at the moment too! Apart from that i can't say that any other relationship has changed really, i suppose if it does it will probably be when the baby is born. :
