Pregnant and feeling iced out by my sisters’ pregnancy news—how do I handle this?

I don't know if this is starting to get really petty now but basically im 6 months pregnant and I've been having the feeling my oldest stister whose been trying for a year to get pregnant is actually pregnant.

I've supported her a lot in her struggles, recommending her doctors and specialist, doing my own research etc. I've always tried to protect her feelings as well during all this.

I had a strange dream she was pregnant and I told her about it. I've been telling her to take a test for weeks.

My mum accidently let it slip out but she is in fact pregnant and at first I could understand her wanting to tell everyone yet as its early days and I was super excited and happy for her.

Then I started to sense something was off between myself and my other stister as if they already knew and my oldest stister told them first.

I get they see each other more and stuff but they were acting really cliquey towards me and trying to rub there closeness in my face a little which I think is really immature for two women in there early 30s.

I came to visit my parents yesterday whilst my other two stisters were out. My mum confirmed my suspicions but my other stister already been told and id been left out.

My mum said my oldest stister said she didn't want to tell me incase I plastered it all over my socials as if im actively using socials and the people I talk to would actually care as they dont even know her.

I was really upset last night and cried a lot because im constantly made to feel as if my feelings are dog shit in my family and im the least favourited out everyone. My dad agreed but it was kinda rude of her too.

I know for weeks she's wanted me to visit her in person so maybe she wanted to tell me in person and overall she's been nice to me so I dont see were this has came from unless my mum has gotten it all wrong as sometimes she doesn't actually think before she speaks.

My stisters tried calling me and texting but I've ghosted her and pretended to be sleeping

She came down. We talked it out and she actually took responsibility and apologised and hugged me she said it was her own selfish paranoia that got in the way
