So for some messed up reason my partners family all believe I am 'faking' my pregnancy as a way too keep my boyfriend (we weren't braking up) and as a way to get money from him.
What do I do? They're ruining my first pregnan for me. ??

Firstly, congratulations on your pregnancy!
How far along are you? Seen a midwife or had any scans yet? Maybe you could offer an olive branch of peace by asking your boyfriend's mother along to one of the scana?
Hope it all goes smoothly for you.

Jesus, ignore them. people who can say something as disgusting and horrible as that shows that have absolutely no respect for you. Has your dp said anything to them?

Your partner needs to deal with this. I would have absolutely nothing to do with people capable of making such unpleasant insinuations. Are they saying these things to your face, or are you hearing them indirectly?

I'm only almost 7 weeks so I'm obviously not showing yet and I have gotten scans and showed them all but still they don't believe me. I've had it said too both me and my partner

I saw you posted this on another thread - you said that they have threatened your life - have you notified the police?

Also what has your boyfriend said to protect you? has he told them to back off?

Yes I accidentally posted it twice Number3cometome I haven't notified the police no but I have told my partner I want nothing to do with his family and they certainly will not be seeing our child.

He has told them too back off and at the moment I'm 7 hours away from them all.

7 hours away sounds good!

How are they contacting you and what sorts of threats have they made?

Is there a background behind this? Like have you all fallen out or has their son not been contacting them?

I wouldn't care what they think, you and your partner know the truth so what they think is irrelevant.

Over the phone and via social media.

I've never had a falling out with his family ever before in the past so this has come as a serious shock too me!

I'm just worried for my partner myself and my unborn child.

But as I said on the other post if things get worse I will be indefinitely contacting the police.

Don't let it get to you. Make sure your DP knows how they are making you feel. If it were me I would stay out of the way, well that is me! With the MIL anyway. They never come to our house and they complain that we don't go there often but when we do she is rude and sarcastic. Nothing will change. She doesn't like names we have discussed or things we have bought for the baby, never asks how I am. I'm happier to let DP go to see her. She knows where I am otherwise!

If your dp has attending your scans then why would anyone need convincing it's a real pregnancy? Has he said something to feul the sudden backlash that you are unaware of ie discussed things with them that may taint their view without you being there? Sounds very odd they would take such drastic steps if things were amicable before you announced!
