I am currently 30 weeks pregnant and is very happy. My mother is jealous. She started by telling me that my husband didn't seem to be that happy with my pregnancy. When she saw that I wasn't convinced with that she didn't say Happy Birthday to my daughter because she claimed it was against her religon. This Friday she calls me and asked me would me and my family like to come with her on a trip with my aunt to an amusement park that was reserved and you had to be an employee to enter. We said okay and that night I went to bed early because I didn't want to be tired and she calls and say I only have 2 tickets so one of you have to stay home. I couldn't believe that she would be so cruel and do such a thing. So we decided that If we all couldn't go no one would go. Then she have the nerve to take up for my aunt that is very jealous of me and my husband from the start. I feel very hurt and depressed. I called her on the phone but I got so upset that I hung up on her should i call her back?

I know how you might be feeling right now, since i have been placed in a similar positions before as well. I really think you should build up your courage and talk to your mother as soon as possible, tell her what is bothering you and try to work things out, after all she is your mother. Your probably know your husband better than anyone, and you should know if he is happy about your pregnancy or not, so don't be depressed by what other people say. Anyways, you are pregnant, and that is one of the best times in a woman's life, you shouldn't be depressed, although the baby blues come and go, but you should really enjoy your pregnancy to the fullest. Hopefully everything turns the way you want, and that your mother understands that you have a family of your own now, and that she has to accept them as equally as she accepts you, being her daughter. Best Wishes!

NO dont call her back. This can affect your pregnancy. She sounds manipulative and controlling. Just detach from her and be busy when she calls no matter what she invites you to. That is not an invitation to ask you then uninvite you. Where is your husband? Concentrate on him. You should not talk with your mom and your aunt. When you have the baby wait until you are home to call and inform them of the birth and then say that you will invite them after a while ( when you are up to it) to see the baby. Let the phone take messages and do not answer the door for people who drop in ( she sounds to me like she would)

It is difficult to believe they are that incompetent as to not know how many tickets they have before inviting you.
Look... you have a dysfunctional family and you probably need to keep a safe distance from them.
The better you are at maintaining healthy boundaries, the better things will be.
They apparently will do anything anytime to make you miserable just because they like to. Trying to sew seeds of dissention in your family. Make you feel insecure. The old bait-and-switch. Not bothering to even say "happy birthday" to a child... forget about presents... not even a greeting card?
Don't let them get into the habit of dropping in on you. Don't think you are going to get any help from them after the baby arrives unless they have a "use" for it.
Everything these old bats could possibly offer you invariably has strings and insults attached. Stop falling for their nonsense.

The muscles in your uterus will contract (tighten) as early as the second trimester of pregnancy on. Irregular, infrequent contractions are called Braxton Hicks Contractions (also known as "false labor pains"). These are normal during pregnancy. Recommendations: 1. Try to relax 2. Change positions; lie down if you have been standing or go for a walk if you have been sitting or laying 3. Take a warm bath for 30 minutes or less 4. Drink a couple of glasses of water, because contractions may be brought on by dehydration 5. Drink a warm cup of herbal tea or milk

You probably need a little break from each other. Wait a few days for everyone to calm down. Then you can call her.

Don't call her until after the baby comes.

cheer up, your unborn baby can feel your emotions you know. and being sad and depressed is not good for either of you. think of the baby, you don't want your baby to feel sad do you?
