To find SIL's behaviour a bit odd.

[GymOClock22]

I'll start by saying I have nothing against SIL. We aren't really friends but will have a chat at family gatherings. I'm perfectly willing to hear I am being PFB about this.
I'm currently pregnant with mine and DH's first baby. We had scans a few weeks ago and got some prints for both sets of our parents.
We posted the scan on FB to let friends know (I know this isn't the most popular thing on MN).
Today I went round SILs. I very rarely go to her house but she had packaged up some baby things for me. Which I am grateful for. However when I went into her utility room with her I noticed that she had my scan picture pinned to her noticeboard. Isn't that a bit strange? I was taken aback at the time so didn't say anything. Would this make you uncomfortable?

I had my nephews forst scan picture put in a birthday card for me as it was the same day as my brother & his girlfriends first scan.
He's 1 in Feb and scan pic is still on my fridge.
They don't have social media but posted photo in WhatsApp group for anyone to use as they only got 3 pics so I'd have had it printed anyway....
If they put it on sm and didn't give me one or post it in family WhatsApp I'd have still printed one off, my first nephew and was betind excited to be an aunty

How old are her children OP?

She may be excited about them having a cousin, especially if they're close in age.

We had kids first and I've been really excited each time another niece or nephew has been announced, she might be too.

She could well have done it as was planning to put it in a frame for you or something like that? X

I guess there are two scenarios here

MIL printed it out, gave it to her son, who then passed it on to SIL. She had no idea what to do with it, so popped it on the fridge with any other photos. Our fridge is covered in our friends and family’s kids art work, family photos etc. I wouldn’t think twice about putting a scan photo on there.

Or SIL has printed it out (weird) and it’s sitting pride of place on the fridge on its own (really weird). Maybe she’s excited to be an Aunt?

We showed BIL a scan to let them know I was pregnant and his wife was so confused (also pregnant) wondering why we had her scans- took a minute for the penny to drop that this was our scan. So it is hard to tell them apart, it might not even be your scan.

Agreed! Half the time when the tech was pointing out my babies arms feet etc on my scams I just nodded and pretended I saw the baby lol

If this happened to me I'd have probably said in a conversational way
Ah, you have my scan 😊
And I imagine she would have said why.

I'm not your SIL but I can totally imagine doing this.
I'd print it out because DH/ your brother hates SM and refuses to engage in anyway with it. Hopefully the print out would encourage him to ring and say congrats to you personally.
I'd also use it, to jog my memory to get the baby bits out so you could see early-ish if any of them would be suitable for you. In a kind, no pressure, we're excited for you kind of way.
I'd be really sad that you'd think it was weird.
Congratulations! When you hear someone is expecting a baby it's a lovely time to think positively about your own life, so in this case I'm thinking perfect, summer baby how lovely, just like me and my DD. If it's not due till September, I'd be spinning that as, perfect you'll have the summer to enjoy and then those crisp days walking all wrapped up, sleeping Nordic babies outside, type thoughts.
Thank you for sharing your good news, you've sent me off in a optimistic direction.

I think she's probably excited about being an Aunty

If this makes you uncomfortable, you just wait until half the maternity ward is staring at your vagina waiting for the real thing to appear.

OP you must know that this is bonkers.
Why can't she have a printout of your scan... you've plastered it on social media ( the bastion of family breakdowns!)

If it is your scan, then you’re the weird one, not her. You’re happy to post your scan pic on Facebook to be seen by acquaintances you barely know and colleagues, but you begrudge your SIL, who is family, putting it up in her own home? WTF?

No. Definitely not. Way weirder that putting it on a pinboard.

I'd say her mother gave her a copy and she said I'll feck this up here so they think I'm very interested.

Are you sure it's yours and not someone else's ?
Or maybe it's to show her kids the new cousin that's coming?

But the names are tiny on scans

Unless she printed it out on A3

That's the truth. And then when they bring in other doctors to observe or learn lol.

Watch it not be your scan 🤣🤣🤣

because lets be honest here, they all look the same.

How old are her kids? Maybe she printed it to show them so they could get excited about the new baby?

I'd take it as a sign that your baby means something to her already. I can't imagine how on earth someone could read this in a bad light.

I really hope this is the missing detail. OP, was it a 3ft square print?

So MIL has framed it and that’s fine but SIL tacking it on to her fridge is psycho 🙄

Poor SIL, I wonder if she has any idea how hated / barely tolerated she is.

I think it's odd 50 50 from both of you. I personally find it weird you went and got extra prints for the grandparents. I would just show them. But each to their own. Reminds me when my SIL gave us all a photo keyring of her and her husband on their wedding day with the thank you card. Went straight into the bin lol

This has to be a wind up. It’s so NUTS you have taken issue with this.
Shame on you.

This 100%

When my SIL was about to have a baby, I was absolutely delighted and loved my nephew the moment he was born. We still have an incredibly close relationship and my SIL tells me it means so much to her. Embrace the fact that ypur DC will be loved by the whole family. It is very sweet.
