Aibu to let sil annoy me

Jesus I could start a whole website on how annoying my sil is but she is who she is and I largely ignore her when she's being an idiot. However atm she keeps going on rants about how being pregnant (first pregnancy straight forward) hasn't stopped her exercising and people like me use it as an excuse to let people slave over them.
I had my youngest son prematurely 7 months ago. I was on bed rest as waters broke at 24 weeks. I was hardly going to be exercising.
She also said she's lose weight the healthy way after having a baby (I didn't have any baby weight to loose but was incredibly I'll for all of the 6 months I was pregnant).
Good for her to do it and be able to do it but I really get annoyed when she rants away. So Aibu to get annoyed?

beejenait is physically an enormous thing for any woman, however they deliver. From what you say you don't sound like you are being smug, I can understand how having your experienced dismissed must be equally upsetting.

Skipton tbf the people saying this sort of stuff don't tend to know my history. You would be a particular brand of mean in that case!

No I didn't intend to be smug about it at all. Just annoys me that people don't think I needed to recover too, a couple of weeks after giving birth I had to entertain and take inlaws on visits, day trips etc, I didn't want to but they all believed me well enough to be since my birth wasn't like my SILs

It amazes me how people compare different experiences, everyone recovers differently and copes with the same situations in different. DH's niece had a home birth, all straight forward, gorgeous baby, but no one was allowed to visit for 2 weeks as it took a lot out of her and she needed to recover, no problem very sensible. I had a natural birth in hospital and apparently was unreasonable not to want visitors when I got home the next day as I'd been in hospital so wouldn't be tired or need to recover.........who knew when when you give birth in hospital the doctors and nurses do it all for you ????
