Regarding pregnancy announcement on FB?

I'm 15+6 weeks pregnant with baby no.2, I've had several bleeds over the last 6 or so weeks and have been fraught with worry so have waited until yesterday to announce our news via FB.

DP has a DD from a previous relationship who is nearly 6 and together we have an almost 2 year old DD.

On my post I simply put "delighted to announce baby No.2 on its way, after a worrying few weeks all is well"

Someone has shown DSD "D"M my FB post and she has rang DP playing absolute holy hell because by saying baby no.2 I have not "acknowledged" DSD and acted as though she doesn't exist. . . . . . . Hmm yeah, after EVERYTHING I do for her but that's anther post entirely.

I had thought about putting baby no.3 but equally that would've sounded as though I thought myself a replacement for DSD's DM and wouldve caused even more of an uproar. She ,are my previous pregnancy difficult, telling DP that she'd heard rumours that he might not be the baby's father. She rang DP constantly in tears and even went around telling everybody that DD looked nothing like DP.

I seriously can't be arsed with another stressful pregnancy because of her.

This is her problem OP, not yours. She sounds a petty, bitter nightmare tbh, as a pp said, "as a SM your place is in the wrong" ...it is shit I've been there myself- you're damned if you do, damned if you don't.
With some exP's, striking the right balance is hard impossible

Seeing you and her EX dp happy wouldn't be an issue to her if she'd "moved on" and was as "blissfully happy" as she claims to be. This has nothing to do with your DSD's feelings, I'm sure she's just as wanted and included in yours and her Daddy's life, this is a bitter ex trying to dampen your happy news silly cow

Congratulations on your pregnancy, enjoy it, and don't let this woman take one bit of shine off your happy time.

She sounds jealous. It doesn't make her a monster. She had a family with your dp once, and it's been taken away. Not saying you're to blame as he could have met you after they split and I don't want to know, but the green eyed monster is bound to be there. It's only a natural human reaction.
Yes of course for you it's baby number 2 for you but for your partner it is baby number 3, so perhaps she feels her dd is getting pushed out.
Perhaps she is jealous of your pregnancy.
