Hi everyone, I am around 14 weeks pregnant at the moment and my partner and I are over joyed at becoming parents! We waited for our first scan so to announce our news to the masses on Facebook and we put together a lovely picture of our dog and cat and the new baby scan picture. We had just seen our baby moving and wriggling for the first time and I can’t put into words how amazing it was. We were both on top of the world. So then comes the mother in law to our cloud 9 picture... she doesn’t get on with my partners father (they have split up and since remarried etc) and she has displayed lots of animosity towards him in the past. I always stay out of it all as I don’t see it as my business, however he’d written on our post how long he’d known that we’d been pregnant for and because we told him before her she was then texting my partner telling him how heartbroken she was. She is an attention seeker as in the past she has tried to get his attention away from me on my birthday and Valentine’s Day etc (all this through the power of Facebook!) I think there’s an element of her thinking I’m taking him away from her or something... anyway so my partner calls her and she doesn’t answer, eventually she does and she’s crying down the phone to him for ages and he eventually sorts her out.

Then she decides to put her own post on my Facebook page with our picture of the baby and let the world know she’s going to be a nana... the post was disgustingly over the top and I feel like she took our moment away from us especially when our friends started commenting their congratulations on her post and she was thanking them!!!! I was livid and still am to a degree, it’s caused so many rows between me and my partner and I’m trying my best not to get angry because of the baby... she has since half heartedly apologised but I’ve not responded... I’m not sure if I’m taking things over board due to my hormones or if I have a valid point... sorry for the long ass post! But please let me know your views on this! I’m in desperate need of validation or to be told I need to forget about it... ❤️❤️❤️
