Venting

So today, my aunt was joking about how her niece watching her 6month old would help get rid of her baby fever, and i joked around explaining that it didn't help me really (i was technically a month pregnant when her baby was born, but didn't know I was pregnant until 8 weeks bc i mistook implantation for a period). She says "well you were trying to have a baby though". When i explained to her that i in fact was NOT trying for a baby, as I had a missed miscarriage 2 months prior to becoming pregnant, she just kinda looked at me like "yeah right". When I had to have my d&c in June last year, she pretty much just said to at least be happy that I didn't miscarry at work. To me, d&c was worse bc i didn't get to say goodbye or see my angel baby. Today, I was also explaining that I have been constantly tired and the only thing i wanna do after work everyday (i work in a local popular restaurant kitchen making desserts and specialty plates), she stated "when i was 8 months pregnant i was working 14 hours everyday". I get 4 hours of sleep a night, and have epilepsy so my medication alone causes fatigue. Anyone have someone like this? Like it's always a competition? Not sure if she's jealous over the baby or what. I literally couldn't get birth control after my d&c (have to have mirena or depo thanks to epilepsy, and depo made me very anemic), bc i had to wait so many months for my body to heal before getting the mirena. We were also using a condom and withdrawal simultaneously when i got pregnant.
