Nervous to tell extended family

im 10 weeks pregnant with baby number 2, my MIL and FIL already know as I have been really ill with hyperemesis and they have looked after dd when I have needed to go to A&E etc. I have no issues at all with telling dhs family as they are always asking when we’ll be having another and are a very large family. However, I am SO scared to tell my aunt. I had a miscarriage in January, I never told her I was pregnant but she is a very big emotional support for me (we live in different countries so don’t physically get to see each other much) when I need someone to talk to. When I told her I was having a miscarriage and that I was distraught she told me I had been stupid getting pregnant in the first place and “everything happens for a reason”. I am so scared to tell her about this Pregnancy because I know it’s going to go badly

So don't. Just don't tell her.

She sounds awful. Are you sure she’s such a great support?! It doesn’t sound like it.

You’re not obliged to tell her anytime soon.

She could have said it thinking it was helpful but came out wrong.
We told my partners side at 15 weeks but still haven't told my side and almost 19 weeks now🙈the more I put it off the worse it is so I advise getting telling her before she finds out from another family member.
