mother in law

I am really really sick of having to be fighting for my feelings when it comes to my own pregnancy. My first pregnancy and I'm not married however me and my partner stayimg together. My partner's mother is always seeking for attention and creating such problems that her son is not talking to her or visiting her that often and causing me and my partner to have so much of arguments because she sometimes blames me for taking her only son away from her. Now that I'm pregnant she wants to follow for my appointments and I really just need my partner there and ended up in an argument with my partner where he said I am ungrateful for not letting is mother follow. Seriously I am so furious and upset that he puts his mother feelings over mine when it comes to my pregnancy. I am the type of person who does not go out or have any close friends and have no one else to talk to. I just feel so sick sometimes and depressed.

Sorry to hear your situation. Perhaps let her follow you at every alternate appointment. If she insists, just close eyes let her follow. Take it as there is a bodyguard with you. I'm more concern why you are not legally married. Reason being both your child and you may not inherit any estate or CPF monies unless your partner has will his estate to you and your child; and nominated his CPF monies to you and your child. Please note even he has made will and nomination, he still can change it. If there is no will and nomination, his parents will inherit. Hence, you and your child may not be financially protected. I'm not cursing your partner but just in case. Please handle this carefully. In addition, let your partner know in advance his mother should not override your decision on the baby. Of course, if is not overboard, sometimes you just give in a bit. Stay happy and enjoy your pregnancy. Don't over think. 💪
