By , About.com Guide

It never fails, you're around the dinner table and all of a sudden you've said something that sparked a hot pregnancy debate, probably something radical like, "Please pass the potatoes." But that's all the opening needed to jump off to hot topics like what religion you'll raise the baby, which pediatrician will you use and what about home birth? What does your family fight about and what do you do to prevent it? Share Your Fights

Breastfeeding

Ugh, I was so tired of hearing how "her baby" was fine even though she bottle fed. I tired being nice. I tried ignoring her. I finally had to be forceful and tell her to back off. She did back off, but it made me uncomfortable every time I nursed near her.

Home Birth

My MIL had a home birth and was really shocked we weren't planning a home birth. While I was a bit annoyed while pregnant, I do think it was more my issue than hers. She simply asked once if I had thought about it, when I said I had and chose against it. She dropped it. Though the laugh was on me because we decided to have #2 at home after our first baby. Now, I appreciate that she didn't push it.
