Idk what to do.

Yesterday we had our ultrasound. Baby is normal. My bf told his sister were expecting and I am 12+5. She went ballistic. Told us we can't afford it ect. I know money will be tight. The comment that hurt was I should get an abortion. I'm 31. This is my only pregnancy. I had fertility issues. I know I'm never having the abortion. How do we get her approval?

You may never get her approval.  Trust me I have *** hole in laws n it is always something.   And when the baby is born she'll feel like a douche.  Don't let her bring u down.  N don't surround yourself by non supportive people.  U don't need it.

I'm not gonna lie, I get frustrated when people who can't afford children keep having them... with that being said, kids are expensive no matter what, who can actually afford them?!
I know that was a bit confusing but what I'm saying is, this is your first child... you are not 18 and on your 3rd or 4th kid and unable to financially take care of them.  You will struggle sometimes but if you aren't hitting this woman up for money, she really should just keep her mouth shut.  The abortion comment is total BS, screw trying to get her approval, she owes you an apology!

Wow how terrible. People react differently to such big news but she had no place saying that to you. you definitely don't need her approval it isn't her child. And if someone said that to me I'd tell them that if they really think my baby should die then don't bother coming around when they are born, for any reason. But that's just me. Don't let her negativity get you down. I'm glad after your fertility issues you were able to conceive. Congratulations momma!

You don't need her approval!  Thats an awful thing to say to anyone I'd be disgusted.  
How dare she dampen your delightful news.

I'd say take some time away from her and when you feel ready tell her how its hurt you and how inappropriate her comments are.

I wish you a huge congratulations and healthy pregnancy ♡
