Pregnancy announcement to MIL
DH and I had a planned pregnancy but we didn't inform anyone that we are planning or trying. I announced my pregnancy to my mom around 5 weeks. My mom is a retired midwife and my father is not alive. I was not feeling comfortable to announce my pregnancy to any other male including my own brother at very early stage. Hence we decided with DH to announce it to his parents after the first ultrasound at 8 weeks which we did. We live abroad far away from both families and we FaceTimed his mom to give the news. She was alone as FIL was sleeping and we announced to only her. Of course she said all cliche things like congratulations, I'm so happy etc. But her first reaction afterwards was "Your mother must also be very happy", obviously she was trying to understand if we told my mom before her, like a competition. Than suddenly she started to tell a story about her first pregnancy where she ended up with a stillborn. Because of all the hormones and everything, I started to cry screaming my husband to hang up the phone and he did it. MIL called again which we didn't respond. After this happened, I never talked to her and my husband also never talked to her around me. 3 weeks later, I had my birthday and neither MIL nor FIL didn't celebrate it, not even through my husband. Now I am around 13 weeks and DH told that her mother asked if we did the NIPT. I felt like she hoped that we had the NIPT with genetic anomaly outcome. I already gave the blood sample and waiting for the results atm. I cannot get over the hatred against this MIL and I feel so much rage.
