I told my parents 10 days ago that I am pg with DC2 after successful scans at 6wks and 9wks. I had 2 mmc before DS (which she knows about) and I had a 3rd mc earlier this year which I didn't tell her about.
The reason I didn't tell her about the mc earlier this year is that she - maybe unintentionally - fusses so much that it seems controlling, smothering and makes things worse. She is like this generally and particularly with the previous mcs.
So when I told her 10 days ago about this pg, she asked about 3 times whether I'd had any problems ttc this time and asked me not to hide anything from her. I just blatantly lied and told her there had been no problems instead of the details of over 12 months ttc and a mc.
I was round there today briefly and she then told me that she didn't want to upset me but she'd heard a story in the news about how some mc actually may not have been mc and the pregnancy may have been ended when in actual fact it would have been fine if left. I told her truthfully that I had heard that story myself and that I didn't think that would have been the case for me at all. She repeated the story again and again said she didn't want to upset me but that she thought if she told me then.... and didn't finish her sentence. I said "then....what?" She couldn't answer and just said "Well I hope everything is ok."
Now she did upset me - not because I was upset by the story itself but because I can't work out her possible motivation for telling me the story. Best case, she's concerned about my 12wk scan in 8 days and if there is anything wrong doesn't want the wrong decision made. How did she really think that would make me feel though?
Worst case scenario, I think she might have told me to see my reaction so she could spot if I had been lying about further mc.
AIBU to be upset by this?
