Do you think she's doing it on purpose? ( rant)?

Ok heres the thing I have been trying to get pregnant again since late last year and have had no luck, I have 3 other children but have been trying for a fourth. Anyways my sister in law ( who also has 3 children) knew that I wanted a baby so bad because my husband had mentioned it to her and the rest of his family. Well after she had heard about my situation she started telling everyone that she wanted another baby also, I kinda think it was like competition for her or something. Well this was a while back around the beginning of the year when my husband announced to his whole family our issue about not being able to get pregnant. Anyways a month and a half ago we were helping his sister move and I noticed a small little pudge in her stomach but I didn't say anything. Well about a week later while driving home one day and talking about a baby, my husband tells me his sister went to the clinic to see if she was pregnant because him and his sisters boyfriend were teasing her about her pudge and joking that she was probably pregnant. I didn't say anything and just than his other sister calls on his cell and tells him that she is pregnant and that shes already like 6 months along. So anyways I see her a week later while visiting my mother in law and her stomach looked bigger all out of nowhere! And as soon as I get off my car she walks over to me saying omg look at me, look at how my stomach got all big out of the blue, and just goes on and on about she didn't know she was pregnant and saying how fat she got all of a sudden and how she can't believe it and just goes on. When I walk in the door to my mother in laws house, my mother in law asks me if I saw my sister in law cause I guess my sister in law ran out there when I pulled up just so she could show me her stomach. I just said yea and didnt really say anything. Ok well anyways that was about a month ago but since than everytime I go over it seems as if my sister in law always has to make remarks about her pregnancy, and seems like she's trying to take jabs at me or something. She'll roll her shirt up under her breast so her belly is popping out all exposed. She'll walk around like that all the time, and to me it kinda seems like she does it purposely. I try not to even look at her when shes like that cause it just gets me upset. Its like everyone knows that I want a baby and her flaunting her belly right in front of me, just I dont know seems like she's trying to make me jelous.
First of I'm not saying she can't be happy with her pregnancy, and I'm not really dissapointed about the pregnancy. But its comments like omg I can't believe I'm pregnant! I didn't want to be pregnant now I wanted a baby before, or comments like oh look at me, or is Cat here I'm gonna show her my stomach that makes me upset. It's as if she's doing it purposely. Like showing me that ok she's pregnant and I'm not. She's always been that way and at first I kind of thought well maybe its just me and not her really trying to poke at me about it but when its constant. Like everytime I go over she's walking around normal but when i get there she pulls her shirt up. I kinda think its just her being a witch about it. Not because she's so excited! In fact it wasn't until she heard me and her brother were trying that she decided she wanted a baby. So like I said it seems like more like competition.
 
she sounds like an idiot. when i know of someone that really wants a baby.. and i become pregnant.. or even while i have kids.. knowing they want one.. i feel bad cuz im pregnant/have a kid and they dont. that is if they deserve a kid.. if they dont deserve a kid and they get pregnant.. i get jelous cuz i want another one. gl.. baby dust.. oh.. google natural family planning.. it might help.
 
You know your sister-in-law better than any of us on here do. But it sounds to me that she´s just excited about this unexpected surprise. As others have already said, she certainly has a right to feel excited about it, and she may not realize that it bothers you. Perhaps just tell her that you are happy and excited for her, but that when she talks so much about her pregnancy and shows off her belly, it hurts because you are still trying desperately to conceive. If you can´t talk to her about it yourself, perhaps tell your hubby how you feel and ask him to relay the message. If all else fails, just avoid her when you can for the time being.

Best of luck and lots of baby dust
 
She sounds like a B**** Have you gone to the dr to see if there is a reason why you cant conceive. sending lots of baby dust your way...
