this is embarrasing.

So I'm 14 weeks pregnant.
I just found out a few days ago that my mother in law is pregnant also.
I don't know how far she is. I think she's barley starting. But this has me depressed.because she wanted a grandkids, cause she told me she didn't want nomore kids. Now this has me so mad.Iva even told her that she is embarrassing me. My boyfriend says It's not that bad.But he don't understand what I'm trying to say. Whoever is reading this.... It's like you being pregnant the same time your daughter is.how would you feel ?? Ugghh this makes me wanna cry, and scream. Please anyone give me some advise.

Wow! I have a similar situation but with my sister. Oh man i totally understand you i was so freaking mad at first still kinda makes me more upset than mad that she always wants the attention to herself. When her husband and her found out i was pregnant. They were so jealous they didnt give up until they finally got pregnant. By the way they already have a son thats 2 who i love so much but his parents are just ugh! Im two months ahead of her , everytime we go out together all she does is talk about her and doesnt let me talk.  With time i just learned to deal with it but when im alone it gets to me because she already has a baby and has it easy.

I know how it is to be older than an aunt. I'm 7 years older than my aunt and It's embarrassing. I tell everyone she's my cousin. And she told me she wasn't gonna have nomore kids cause she wants a grandkid. How was I supost to know she was gonna do this to me.

Pregnancy isn't a competition, and babies are not trophies. Its her life, and since you hate her like you said its more a waste of your time to even bother yourself with this. One more dotting aunt or uncle for your kid, and one more sibling for your husband. Whats really bad about that? If you want spotlight, then don't plan anything around when she plans things, don't let her know about plans until around the last few days so she can't be Stealin your spotlight.

I didn't think she was pregnant in till I saw the wic checks Lol.
She was always say she might be pregnant But never was.
Now this is my second pregnancy... rip to my first baby ( miscarriage ) :'(
I feel like she's trying to steal the spot light from me. She old.. she shouldn't be having more kids But wanting grandkids.

Ahhh.
I wish I could be positive like the moms above but this would really bother me too.

My mother-in-law thought she was pregnant for the first few months if my pregnancy.
She thought it was so cool and we'd have all these things in common and idk what other crap.
I hated every 2nd I thought we were BOTH pregnant.
Besides the point of her being needy for attention, she just would steal any special little moments we experienced.
Thank God she wasn't I don't know what state of mind I would be in if she was.

Honestly you have the right to be upset but letting it get to you too much probably won't help.
Just focus on your pregnancy and your baby.

Because she should have had a kid years ago. Why now when she's like 43? My boyfriend is the first and he's 20 then his sister is 16 and his lil brother is 9.

Okay. It's just that I feel like she did it so my baby won't get attention, idk it bothers me so damn much. And I hate her with all my guts.I've always have. I guess I have to deal with it.
Annnddd I can't stand when she's talking about my baby,and making plans for my baby. I just feel like telling her " worry about your own baby " even my bf dad gets mad when I say I'm not naming my baby after him. I don't want my son to be the third. I hope I have a girl

I think it's ok to be upset but don't be mean to her about it I'm sure she's excited and experiencing roller coaster of emotions like any other pregnant woman does. Idk you saying you told her she's embarrassing you made me sad lol

Lol girl its cool don't stress it! My step moms pregnant & she's due two months after me . she's due around my birthday (sometime in march) this makes me mad to since I don't talk to her or my dad anymore but I feel like I'm being replaced with a new baby & more so cuss she could even possibly have it on my birthday & I'm my dads first born.

But honestly I don't stress it anymore I did for like the 1st day now I just laugh cuss I feel like it was planned.. But I know ima be happy with my baby regardless so I wouldn't even worry abt it or stress it just focus on yu& yur baby (:
