I have name changed.
I'm currently just over six weeks pregnant with my first baby after nearly two years of trying. This is a Clomid baby. My sister has a DS who is 18 months. Her and her DH want another baby and have been saying for ages that they will start trying in October to aim to be pregnant by the end of the year.
Only, she just told us that actually, they decided to try earlier and, like last time, they got pregnant on their first try and are now 5 1/2 weeks pregnant. We are usually very close so alongside everything is the hurt that she decided not to tell me that they were going to try.
Clearly this is because she knew I would be unhappy. I know I'm being selfish, but I feel she is being completely selfish. Once I went on the CLomid I was either going ot get pregnant quickly, or not for a long time so it wouldn't have been hard for them to wait until their original plan of October. And of course, it's not up to me to dictate when she has a baby, but I honestly don't understand why she couldn't wait those extra two months.
Instead, while I'm trying to enjoy the whole first baby thing, I will have to do it entirely in step with her. With all the natural comparisons that will come from that from how we're feeling, to how big we are, to how quickly the baby comes etc. And then once our babies are born, there will be all the comparisons there too - who sits up first, who walks first, who talks first etc. My sister is very competitive so I have no doubt this will happen.
I just feel very upset because when she had her first baby as we don't have any other family nearby I was 100% there for her. I cooked and shopped and took off work to help her and her baby and I was there before, during and after. And our mum came to help too and was 100% focused on helping my sister and her baby. But now, I won't get any of that. She won't be able to help me the way I helped her because she'll be dealing with her own newborn. And our mum will have to split her time between us.
Please don't tell me I'm being selfish because I know that I am. But I feel I have the right. But she has been so selfish and dishonest towards me I feel it could intrinisically damage my relationship with her forever.
