[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like they may have been dealing with secondary infertility and couldn't handle your pregnancy with DC2. Doesn't excuse their reaction, but may explain it. [/quote]

+however many at this point.  I'm going through secondary infertility now and everyone that was pregnant "with" me with DC1 has had, or is pregnant with, their second kid, even the ones that had infertility struggles.  The cheese stands alone.  I'm not saying your SIL was right to ignore your second pregnancy (and I make it clear I'm happy for all my friends/familiy members who have had additional kids, because I am) but it [i]realllllllly [/i]sucks.  It hurts to see it happen for everyone else when it's not happening for you and it's what you want most.

Give her a little grace here OP.  If the worst thing she ever did to you was avoid talking about your second pregnancy she's probably not that bad.[/quote]

OP here. I'm sorry PP. That really sucks. I hope that you get pregnant soon. I don't know if my SIL and BIL were going through secondary infertility when I was pregnant with DC2 (SIL told my DH she didn't want to try for a DC2 at the time because she would need to stop drinking, but who knows if that is the truth), but if they were then I of course have empathy... But I would also think that they would be less in everyone's face about their DC2 pregnancy given that they just ignored the pregnancy and birth of our DC2. [/quote]

OP as much as it feels like it's about YOU and YOUR BABY, it's probably not. If you're happy for them, just be happy. But stop trying to know what's going on. If they haven't told you it's because they don't want to, and they don't owe you that. [/quote]
