Yep, that sounds very similar to my experience Cruzey! Everyone only cared about the baby, so I got very good at changing the subject. And if I got really sick of it, I'd ask something specific about that person's life. People love talking about themselves lol.
I got opposite comments to you though, people couldn't believe I'd ever use cloth nappies. So I got told to just use disposables, as they're easier and cleaner; breastfeeding can be hard, formula is easy; don't bother not using the drugs, get an epi as soon as you can ().
I also got asked if I should be driving (at 22 weeks) and if I should be carrying my work 'like that' (at 30 weeks - it was only two folders lol). So yeah, I did tell that particular guy that I'm pregnant, not sick, it doesn't affect my driving ability and my arms do still work lol.
If I were you I'd have a chat to your DP, just let him know how you're feeling and that you'd like him to back off a little. And going to your mum is not a good thing!
