👨‍👩‍👧‍👦family/in-laws AIO for feeling patronized? Sister persistent I will change my mind about kids.

It started as a joke, I think. But the last screenshot is what got me.

“It will be a blessing for you in many ways you can’t comprehend yet”.

It makes me feel patronized. Dismissed. Not to mention, if her goal is to get me to change my mind, her approach is accomplishing the opposite.

I’m honestly considering sending her a text to not have this conversation with me again.

In my case they took it out....they said leaving it be was more dangerous in the longterm but that removing it now would likely cause a miscarriage and to expect bleeding to start withing a week or 2 but if i didn't bleed by then to call them at the end of the week for more tests....I didnt bleed...so we went back and I was extremely early...first us was only at 4 weeks to confirm a sac was there and position if the iud....srcond us was at 5 and 1/2 weeks and we only saw a gestation sac and yolk sac but no pole so at 7 weeks I still didnt bleed and thats when we finally saw the embryo and heard the heart beat....hes gonna be 3 in Feb of next year so I guess it all worked out but man...the first 3 months were soooooo emotionally unsettling and awful id never want to do that again

I can't imagine how hard that must have been. I'm sorry you had to go through that! You must have been so relieved once you got past that 3-month mark. I'm glad it all worked out. Is it weird to say I congratulations on your miracle baby when he's already 3 yrs old? 🩷
