step mother

This is my first child and my step mother has picked out my theme I never have a say so in anything and she gets stuff with out even asking me. I told her that one of my friends offered to babysit when my baby gets here and she yelled at me. I feel like she has taken over my pregnancy. She can't have children anymore and I feel like she is jealous.... she's even giving me crap because I want to breast feed. She said to me "I couldn't see myself being a human cow you shouldn't do it." I don't know how to act towards her when ever she sees me she rubs MY belly and says hows "her baby doing" and I said good and she was like no I'm talking about the baby... I just don't know what to do I haven't been happy at all with this pregnancy because of her

I hate holding things in. Try talking to her because if you don't say anything soon she might be the one to do everything for the baby instead of you. Don't be shy, let her get upset if she does but then she will realize it's wrong for her to do everything when its your child.

We're you close to your step mom before you were pregnant.  Sounds like she is excited to be a nana.
Just trying to play devils advocate but maybe you're being extra sensitive because of your hormones.  
I wish my children had more people in their lives who were excited about them and wanted to be in their lives. My MIL has done absolutely nothing for our 3 year old daughter except buy her an outfit or two when she was 4 months old. Never sent a birthday present or Christmas card or anything.  My father and step mother live o  the other side of the world and I haven't talked to him I  over a year he is too busy with his new family. I guess what I am saying is try to take it as a blessing and not a curse that someone wants to love your child.

If you don't want to talk to her about it again have your dad talk to her. Obviously you didn't get through her. Maybe he will

Tell her it's your baby not hers. I'm sorry you haven't had a chance to enjoy your pregnancy. I wish you and your baby the best of luck

I would sit her down and have a talk with her and just be strait up with her. Just tell her that you want to take care of your own child and that you'd like to make all the decisions with the babies dad (if he's involved). Just pretty much be nice and out saying back off.
