I am so sorry that was her initial response. My mom would probably have a similar reaction if I got pregnant. She makes comments all the time about how she is so glad she only has a grand daughter and we don't need more kids. Sorry mom, you are not the master of my uterus. Good thing we can't have kids and don't want any more.
My mom was a SAHM for most of my childhood and I think she regrets not pursuing a law career. She doesn't understand how I'm happy teaching and having babies because she's projecting her own feelings (in my opinion anyway).

Um, are you living on the street and hustling or something? Are you probing from your phone in a crackhouse? Are you dropping out of high school to marry a sugar daddy? If none of these is the case, I am so confused about why she decided to be a total bitchwagon to you. Also, I am sorry your mother is like this.

Congratulations on your pregnancy. Hopefully THAT is what the other people in your life are telling you.
I'm sorry your mom is such a snatch. She was totally out of line, and her "goals" for you are most likely hang-ups over her own failures. Try not to let it bother you. If you are happy about your pregnancy, that's all that matters.
I'm sorry your mom said that. It would make me feel awful.
But, you know she's just being bitchy because she is unhappy with her own life. Don't let it ruin this time for you. If you're happy and your H is happy, then just try to brush it off.

Congrats on the bun in the oven! Your Mom is BSC ignore her and celebrate the happy news with everyone else. I do think from now on you should call her Granny or Nana. Whatever she will find most offensive. ;D
