FTM here too and told my family at 8 weeks and regret sharing so early. My mum became extremely excited, said that she will clear her schedule to help me take care and then she kept on nagging/reminding on the Dos and don’ts almost immediately and the next few days and treated me like a child again. We usually speak only twice or thrice a week after I’ve shifted out. I know it’s out of concern but it was toooooo much. I was very uncomfortable with the attention, dislike the nagging/reminders even more and was so stressed that I couldn’t sleep for next 2 days and had to go work too. My husband was so worried. I get stress just to think that I have to endure this for the next 7 months and when the baby comes out it will probably be worse. So afraid she will just come to my place and start nagging and takes over everything. It was affecting my mental health and I decide to let her know that she was causing me anxiety. She was obviously upset and said that I was proud and disrespectful. Thankfully after that the daily nagging stopped and I felt so much happier.
