Hi ladies, I just wanted to come on here to vent a little about my sister in law who lives half the continent away from me. So apparently she fell pregnant the same time I did, but didnt tell my husband (me and her only spoke twice ever since I married my husband). When my husband excitedly told his mom about me being pregnant again, she just said "your sister is pregnant too...and also around the same time as your wife". Seriously, I didnt want to feel the way I did, but it felt like someone took a needle and popped my bubble.
So I got over that, and now she is acting up. She had a chemical before she conceived, which also happens that I too had a chemical before conceiving my son. I grieved for a few days and moved on, convincing myself that a chemical is no big deal and that it happens to many people. When I conceived my son, I was happy but took the easy approach. I learned that everything happens for a reason, and God forbid if anything happens to that pregnancy it just wasnt meant to be...yeah I know some ladies who miscarry hate to think of it that way but that was how I was able to avoid stressing myself out.
Now my sister in law is making everyone worry about her, including my husband who is living across the ocean from her and by making my husband worry it is also affecting me. My MIL said that she is afraid of everything...and I mean literally EVERYTHING; even the simple task of walking. She walks in micro steps...because she is afraid it will "hurt" her baby. She will avoid car rides. I mean, why cant she take it easy? Being pregnant should be a time of joy, not stress. Based on what my MIL said, her scans shows that baby is healthy and developing properly.
I especially hate how everyone, my husband and mother in law compare me to her and say that I am physically stronger than her thats why they dont have to worry about me that much. What the heck...I am stronger than nobody. I actually gave birth 8 weeks early, and didnt even have a rest period. Did they even think about that? Pretty much she is causing a scene just because she had a chemical pregnancy, which I also had and I hate how my MIL and husband defend her by saying "oh you have it easier than her". Did they get brainwashed and forgot about my pre term labor?
