My husband and I always knew we wanted to start a family both when we were dating and after we got married. We told both of our parents this for years and my parents and my other friends and family members were excited about it and couldn’t wait for us to get started. Though my husband’s mom is was the only one who didn’t/doesn’t like this idea and has and does continuously verbally let know that. She straight up tell us (not things like advice or being a concerned parent or why she thinks it’s a bad idea) things like “I don’t want kids in the house” or “ …More work I’ll have to do.” Currently she lives with us but we’re planning to get our own place without her, which she doesn’t want us to do that. Instead, she want to go wherever we go and continue to live with us. Though that’s not the point of this post, so I’ll get back on topic. I recently found out that I am pregnant, we haven’t told anyone yet, only my husband, mom and I know. My MIL suspects that I might be pregnant and asked my husband if I was and he told her that he didn’t know to keep the secret, because we weren’t ready to tell people yet. I don’t think she believes him. I know that I’m getting ahead of myself here and maybe worrying about nothing. However, knowing what I know about her personally and things that my MIL has done in the past concerns me. I’m worried that she might try to do things on purpose to try and cause me to have a miscarriage. I know that there’s a chance nothing at all could happen, but I’m worried about the safety of myself and my baby. What should I do?
