Little Rant, advice needed!

[chels_ea]

Ok, I am 12 weeks pregnant and I've been getting really annoyed by my mom and brother telling me things I cant do. I'd like some advice or opinions.

1. My mom and sister in law saw no baths. They said the warm water can raise my blood pressure and harm the baby. So I layed in cool water. My mom got upset because she thinks that can hurt the baby, but I see nothing wrong because it would be no different than being in a pool right?

2. No riding on ATVs. Which makes sense, if I were hitting large potholes or being jarred around. We have a golf cart, which I drive sometimes to my sister in laws who lives right up the driveway. I drive very slowy, not hitting any bumps and they act as if I will be thrown into labor.

3. Sleeping positions. Sometimes my mom will wake me up in the mornings and if Im laying on the belly the slightest, she starts on me. Ive heard to sleep on your left side? But Ive always slept on my belly and its so hard not to. Is it ok, or can it harm the baby?

Sorry, its kind of lengthy. These are just a few things I'm wondering about. Its just so annoying being a FTM and every time I do anything Im being told no or they act like Im selfish if I do something that I think is okay.

Okay. This is going to be lengthy sorry.
1) you can lay in warm baths. Its very good for the baby but it cant be hot baths. (Dont want to cook the poor fella) also it helps release stress and back pain later on during pregnancy.  
2)  if all ur dricing around is a golf cart you are fine. Shoot im 22w and I still ride my husband motorcycle.  They just don't want you on 4wheelers or dirtbike incase u crash u can harm ur self
3)sleeping position.  I was sleeping on my belt till 18-19 weeks. Its perfectly fine. As long as it's not uncomfortable if it harms the baby he or she will let you know. I am a tummy sleeper and I now sleep on my left due to helps fall asleep faster and also he's not pushing on my spine.  You can sleep how ever you want as long as its comfortable.  If you sleep on ur back just be propped up abit at a angle. Left side preferred cause helps blood flow and doesnt squish baby with organs.. but momma got to sleep how they can

It sounds like your mom just being over protective. Mine was like that till I took her to the doctor and asked her everything my mother keeps telling me.  How to sleep, eat, ect. It got her to stop.
Sorry so long

Sleeping on belly is ok too..you're still early in pregnancy. Its the 2nd tri that they say is good to sleep on your left side because baby is getting bigger

Baths are totally fine. Long the water is not steaming hot. That's when the temp will go up
