Just found this thread and thought I would put in my 2 cents worth.....

I told my sister that I was going for my NT scan in a couple of weeks. She told me that she would hold off "congratulating" me until I had met the 12 week mark and that the baby is okay. She holds out for drama. My sister is one of those people who has a friend who's been through what your going through (I swear you could make something up and sure as sh@t she would know someone who had that too!). You just know that if something went wrong it would feed her entire network of crows no end of gossip for the next 12 months. She would also tactlessly say, see aren't you glad I told you to be practical and not too hopeful! I felt like saying, well should I be telling you how wonderful DH is because you know he could divorce me, I mean we can't be living in hope that we stay together forever right?! She just makes me mad because I've been emotional enough lately (spontaneous outbursts of tears) and I really don't need the negativity around me. Not sure when I can be excited by the fact that DH and I are having a baby together...hmmm, maybe once it's born?

Phew.... that's better now!!
