I currently live in another town from my mother, and I used to go visit once or twice a month. Well, with work and classes, I haven't been able to go as much, and went a couple of months without being able to go home. My mom thinks this means I am pregnant. She claims that she did the same thing when she got pregnant with me. She was finishing college, and didn't go home for 7 months after she found out. This is amusing, but I keep telling my mom i'm not pregnant. I know she adores my bf, but I thought she'd be disappointed if I ended up pregnant at this time in my life. However, she keeps mentioning buying baby clothing and telling me I need the support of her and my family. Why do you think she keeps bringing this up? Do you think this means that she wants a grandchild and is trying to encourage me to have one? Or do you feel that she is just trying to reassure me that she is here for me in case I am hiding it? Also, is it weird that all this talk has me kinda...wishful?

Maybe a little of both. She may think you are hiding a pregnancy, and she may be hoping for a grandchild soon. Don't feel pressured to have a child before you are ready, just because she thinks you should have one.

I'd say she's probably just letting you know that you can still finish college, and your life will continue. Since she was in a similar situation, she knows how much support you'll need to be able to continue school and stuff. And I would say that if all of that support and encouragement didn't make you "wishful" you'd be weird. :)

Your mother sounds like she's afraid that you did something you were ashamed of and didn't want to tell her. Maybe she's talking about it alot because she wants you to know that she's okay with it. Or maybe you're right, maybe she wants grandchildren. Either way, just keep reassuring her that there is no baby and when you finally do come home she'll see that you're right.

I think it is kind of wishful thinking on her part. She wants you to have a baby of your own.
No I don't think it's weird at all that you want your own now. I think that was your mother's intention.
And if you guys don't live close to each other - she can't 'see' that there is no baby.
