Not sure what to say

This is our 6th pregnancy, no babies yet.  This one is going really well. Doctors all say everything looks good they have been taking tons of tests, almost weekly ultrasounds, I take my  blood pressure everyday, and on low dose aspirin. But my sister in law is pregnant too, I was totally   YAY!!  I was keeping family posted about what tests and stuff was going on but got this awful call from my mom cause my sil is all upset that no one in the family cares about her and her baby.  She can't get all the test I'm getting and she needs them too. But no doctor will give them to her and she will have to pay out of pocket for them. She posting stuff on facebook about how high risk she is and how we(my family)  doesn't care. My brother has asked me to stop all the updates but I don't want to. I live 2000miles away from my family.and didn't share the last u/s showed the baby sucking on her hands.(so cute) When I talk to my family they are all mad at her and feel like I should say something to her but I haven't. What do all you say?

My situation is different but I had a blighted ovum in DEC and miscarried in Jan it was devastating....I am pregnant again just 4 months later and seen a heartbeat on 6/2 I'm almost 9 weeks I chose not to announce it on Facebook yet...but I can say they my mom and sister made me feel like I couldn't be excited about this pregnancy this time and it really hurt my feelings this is an exciting time for you and you should share it....its unfortunate your sil is going thru issues but its not your fault be excited and good luck I hope everything goes well for you and your sil!!!

It is not ur fault that ur SIL is also high risk and has to pay out of her pocket. She needs to understand that u far away from ur family and want to keep update ur family all the time and u already lost so many babies and u are getting excited because everything seems giing well right now.

I've been having a lot of losses too, and I'm now 18 weeks and 5 days pregnant, and I don't want anybody on my Facebook page knowing I'm pregnant, only my family knows cause last year I had an lost at 17 weeks and I posted everything on Facebook, so think about it first before u post everything on Facebook, sometimes is better to have some privacy when it comes to that, and besides, is true what jazzy says, if it was the other way around, I don't think you wouldn't be too happy if it was her
