My MIL gives unwanted advice every single din and it stresses me out so much. I dont want tension during this time but I also dont know how to handle it nicely. How do u all manage saas during pregnancy?
Honestly, just nod and say 'yes' to whatever she says, then do whatever you want anyway! I didn't have the energy to argue then, and now with a baby keeping me awake all night, I definitely don't have the energy!
It's all about setting gentle boundaries while respecting her experience. When she suggests something you are unsure of, just politely tell her that your gynac has given you a specific plan to follow.
Try to stay calm and keep a positive environment for the baby inside you. Just take her advice with a smile, pray for patience, and trust that everything will work out peacefully.
When my MIL gave me endless home remedies, I only followed the simple ones like eating soaked almonds. For anything major or if she insisted on heavy herbs, I gently told her my doctor advised against it.
I totally understand how overwhelming it can be when there are too many opinions around you during this sensitive time. Try to remember she usually speaks out of love, but protect your peace of mind first, dear.
I used to share articles from my pregnancy app with my husband so he could explain the modern medical facts to my MIL. It saved me from direct arguments and kept everyone on the same page!
