This is a very common problem, yet it doesn't make it any easier to take, and there are several possible reasons that your girlfriends parents seem to have taken a disliking to you.
Firstly, this is very likely to not be your fault. It could stem from envy over you and hers close relationship, if maybe they didn't get on very well during her childhood. It might also be a wariness of you, as you must remember, 9 months is quite a serious relationship. They may have assumed it wouldn't last, but after 9 months, maybe they're worried that your taking her away from them.
Parents are naturally very protective, and are bound to take precautions over a childs love life, particularly in females. And on the other hand, they might just not like you. That sounds very harsh, and I apologise, I'm sure your a lovely person, but after getting to know you, they may believe you just not to be a suitable partner for their daughter.
However, if this continues, and is more than just a passing phase, I recommend you speak to your girlfriend. I understand this is a sensitive topic, and she is bound to be sceptical at first, but by discussing this with her, you might just find a silly, simple reason, which you can ammend.
If this fails, or maybe you just can't see her being open to discussion on this, you could be brave, and go straight to the parents. This admittedly, would not be easy for you, her, or the parents, but it might nip it in the bud.
Though if I were you, I would discuss this with your girlfriend, and remember, just be brave, and don't give up. Good luck!
