To 20: But some mothers (and some people in general have such a horrible character/bad social skills/not much empathy and are too subborn to actually listen to someone else his/her advise/complaints....that there is nothing to do about it. I mean, what if you're black, has a partner who absolutely loves you and a die-hard racistic mother-in-law? You can't blame your husband for her stupidity, can you? My point is, we don't know the situation. Maybe OP's husband does stand up for OP every time (which will lead to a biiiiiig figth I suppose), but his mom just doesn't listen. If he doesn't stand up for OP because he doesn't dare then, Houston, we have a problem.

HA i guess no one can post their opinion on FML without -Djeepee- having to add hers. :P

WTF is this comment? This makes NO sense what so ever.

Hospitals are NOTORIOUS for spreading infections, it's where all the sick people go. Don't take my word for it or thumb me down because you don't like what I'm saying look it up.

I thumbed you down not for your opinion, but strictly because you told me not to. I'm kind of a rebel like that...:)

46- nurses in hospitals know what can and cannot affect their unborn child and they take assignments to patients based on that. It's common practice that if Joe Blow, the patient in room 304 has the flu then nurse prego will not be assigned to him and never enter his room. Plus he will already be in isolation precautions and all staff entering his room will wear protective gear... Hence she would be highly unlikely to contract the flu even if she did work that room. "look it up"

when u said "don't thumb me down" I decided to do that.... wonder if that's why you have like 10 thumbs down.

You have to take all kinds of vaccines before being able to work in a hospital. She should be fine. Although hopefully OP, you've stopped doing heavy lifting. I've heard nursing is incredibly stressful on one's back.
