Should I be upset or not??
Ok so back story first. In August me and my husband suffered a miscarriage but didnt tell anyone we just kept it to ourselves and decided to go it alone. That same month my sister in law gave birth to her baby at 24 weeks, and shortly after her baby died.
Ok so December me and my husband found out we were pregnant and decided to tell his mom, but we also told her about the miscarriage she had in August. She was upset we didnt tell her but she said it was alright and that she was glad we were pregnant again. Well a month later we find out my sister in law is pregnant again as well, were exactly 3 weeks apart.
So my husbands family has been congratulating her on her rainbow baby and even bought her cute rainbow baby onesies, and all nice things. So when I posted my announcement on Facebook we mentioned that were expecting our rainbow baby in August. My husbands mother didnt even like the post.
My sister in law posted her announcement a few weeks after mine and everyone congratulated her on her rainbow baby.
My point is that everyone knows we suffered a miscarriage but no one acknowledges it. They're all for acknowledging my sister in law. My husbands aunt even had the nerve to tell me because we had a miscarriage before 20 weeks that it doesnt count as having a rainbow baby..
It's not about the attention it just seems like no one wants to remember the baby we lost and everyone wants to remember my sister in laws baby.
Even my husband is upset, and came to my crying because he couldn't understand why no one cared about our loss, and he was so sad that our baby only had us to remember it because no one else would.
We just feel like no one cares about our baby or our rainbow baby.
My sister in laws current unborn baby is getting all the love and attention and no one even talks about our baby. We feel like no one cares about our angel baby or our rainbow baby.
