Dear Queenie,
I’m going to have a baby and my mother-in-law keeps commenting on how fat I’m getting and keeps asking me how much weight I’ve put on.
According to my doctor I’ve gained a normal amount of weight and my pregnancy is going normally.
Queenie, what’s a good way to answer her?—Mother-to-be
Dear Mother-to-be,
When you answer your mother-in-law’s questions, start by saying “My doctor says …” and finish by saying “My doctor says the baby is doing well.” Then change the subject.
