I’ve been vomiting since last night, so in the morning my husband told his parents that “she’s been vomiting a lot since night, she’s resting right now.”
His father said, “If she’s sick, she should go to her parents’ home. She doesn’t sit downstairs, and she doesn’t even talk to your mother.”
Then my husband called me downstairs and said, “Let’s talk in front of everyone.”
When they started talking, I also got angry. I said, “Why would I sit with her? God is my witness — if his mother has ever even by mistake asked about my health. And it’s not like I haven’t been sitting with her for just a few days — the day I came back from the sonography, she wasn’t happy at all. Instead she started saying, ‘You shouldn’t have done the sonography so early.’ And when my husband said the doctor told us to, she said, ‘If you go to the doctor, she will obviously tell you to do things. Why do you go to the doctor so much?’”
Since then, I don’t feel like sitting near her.
That day my husband even told his mom, “Take care of her a little, teach her what she should eat and what not.”
But instead she taunted, “You people think you’re very smart. Do whatever the doctor says. I won’t tell anything — I don’t care.”
So I thought fine, I will do my own thing and she can do hers.
Today I said, “I sleep in the afternoon because I can’t sleep at night. I’ve watched many doctor’s videos and they say due to hormones many pregnant women can’t sleep at night because hormone levels are high at that time and low during the day. That’s why they feel sleepy during the day. It’s normal, and if you feel sleepy you should sleep — you shouldn’t control it.”
But his mother said, “You sleep in the day, that’s why you can’t sleep at night.”
I didn’t say anything rude. I told her, “You may not know, but I get fever on and off, I vomit, sometimes my uric acid gets high, sometimes I have stomach pain.”
His mom said, “All this is normal. You’re not the only one having a baby. Everyone does it.”
