Oh boy, your mum has some issues with this, hey?
Maybe avoiding her for a bit would be a good idea - give it time for your response to sink in. Maybe she'll come round and realise what's important here - her daughter is having a baby!!!
Oh She's excited about the baby - no love lost there. Just the process that she harbours massive misconceptions about.
I'm going to walk the dog with her today. I'm still not happy, but if it comes up again, I will tell her that.
One thing that really bothers me is that she can pass judgement on me, yet my siblings are so disfunctional, they're permitted to behave anyway they like, with only a 'they had a hard childhood' from her. Um... I remember having the same childhood & yep I'm held to different standards. Including conception!
She apologised as soon as we set off for the walk. I did reiterate that it was crass, offensive & very very misinformed. And that although a reversal is always a procedure that was available - our specialist (you know - that guy that went to uni for years & does this EVERY day for a living) recommended against it. She was much more accepting today.
