2 months pregnant, second DC, losses and pregnancy struggles. High risk pregnancy so I’ve already been in hospital - seen baby and the heartbeat.
Over the next few weeks I have events coming up with my mum that would be difficult to fully engage in while pregnant. We decided to tell her, to keep the baby safe and to avoid her thinking we were being difficult about events.
When we told her, we explained we’d seen baby and heart beat and explained why we were telling her at only 2 months. She gasped and became a little emotional hugged both myself and my partner then changed the subject. I then told her when I was due and she said “I wish you hadn’t told me, you shouldn’t have told me.” When I asked her why she said “It’s like I might be bad luck, you’re not telling anyone else are you?” I explained we wasn’t and again reinforce why we had told her. I really felt quite hurt. I was so excited to tell her. Would anyone else feel upset by this reaction? She’s not superstitious at all. I generally have a good relationship with my mum. This reaction really hurt me. I told her because I want to make sure this pregnancy it protected. Make her reaction make sense, please 🙏
