When she discovers she’s pregnant shortly after giving birth to a perfect baby girl, she’s shocked but delighted. Yet she can’t understand why birth control was ineffective! Her sister-in-law has a solution to her conundrum, and it’s anything but an ‘accidental pregnancy!’
Arrival of a Baby Girl
She and her husband welcomed our daughter into the world. She was a darling baby and pretty easy as far as newborns went. They couldn’t have been more delighted.
Disappointing Gender
The one problem; her inlaws were obsessed with the idea of them having a son, to the point that they denied she was a girl up until the moment she was born. Why? Because the bloodline follows the father!
A Shock Remark
The day they went to visit the hospital, her inlaws asked when they would be trying for another baby. They kind of just laughed it off, but her mother-in-law got more insistent, straight-up telling them: “Y’all need to try for a boy!”
Ignoring Comments
Over the next month or two, the conversation about them having another baby sort of tapered off into little comments every now and again. She had no problem ignoring them, and they’d already told them it wasn’t happening, so she just let it run off her back.
A Helping Hand
Around this time, her mother-in-law started going over daily for a few hours, watching the baby for her so that she could sleep and also occasionally clean up a bit. She’d be unsupervised anywhere from 1 – 4 hrs.
Suspected Pregnancy
Fast forward to the present day. Her husband poured her a mixed drink, and when she brought the cup to her lips, she got hit with this paranoid and panicked feeling. She immediately put the cup down and insisted they take a pregnancy test.
A Positive Result
Sure enough, it came back positive. They waited until the next morning, took a digital test, and again, positive. They suspected that she should have been about six weeks along.
An Unknown Miracle
After getting over the initial shock, they were excited but confused. For several reasons, she hadn’t been able to get hormonal birth control, so they’d been taking precautions. They weren’t sure how they’d gotten pregnant but were happy with the news.
Keeping it Quiet
They decided they wouldn’t tell anyone because they didn’t want another baby stampede from his family, but being incredibly close with her sister-in-law SIL, she decided to tell her after swearing her to secrecy.
Shock Reaction
When she told her, her eyes widened and started to water. She asked if she was serious! She told her that, yes, she and her husband were young, but between them, they made more than enough to support another baby.
A Drastic Measure
Her sister-in-law burst into tears and started to apologize over and over. Meanwhile, she just sat there with her mouth hanging open and lost! She calmed down a bit and, through her tears, told her that her mother-in-law had been poking holes in their condoms pretty much since they got home from the hospital!
A Sneaky Plan
It all clicked into place. That’s why she’d always shoo-d her off to sleep while she was around. And that’s what she was doing when she was “cleaning” her house – snooping for the condoms.
Anger Kicks In
She was so angry and didn’t know what to do. She wanted to storm over to over to her mother-in-law’s house and lay into her! She also felt angry at her sister-in-law for not telling her – how could she not tell her?!
A Complicated Situation
She was livid with her mother-in-law. She was obviously pleased with the pregnancy, but it wasn’t her choice. It wasn’t even an accident; it was her meddling because she didn’t get the Golden Grandson she wanted!
Keeping the Secret
She also had no idea how to handle it. She was so angered that she wanted to scorch the earth, but she also still didn’t want his family to know she was pregnant.
Fear of Loss
Her biggest fear was that at just under 12 weeks, the risk of a miscarriage was still uncomfortably high. She actually wasn’t able to go and confront her mother-in-law, even if she wanted to! And she hated her for that!
Lost Happiness
Following this admission, she realized that her enthusiasm for her pregnancy had dipped significantly, so she was desperately trying to hang on to any happiness she had left.
Feeling Alone
As it stood, she had absolutely no one to turn to. Her own parents were extremely negative and to the point of having no contact. She wasn’t ready to face a deluge of questions about making the right decision!
Plan – Part I
A few days passed, and after doing some research online, she had an idea. She contacted her apartment building manager and left a message asking where the trash was sent to. She also let the front office know what her mother-in-law’s car looked like and stated that she didn’t want her there for any reason.
Plan – Part II
She did manage to find a condom from the pack behind the trash can, but it didn’t have any holes from what she could see, but she put it in a ziplock baggy anyway. She hoped there might be fingerprints or something.
Plan Part III
Her sister-in-law was heading over for a visit, and she planned to get a statement from her based on what she knew. She looked into Reproductive Coercion, and from what she could see, it protected a forced abortion but not a forced pregnancy. It was worth a try!
Police Intervention
She now plans to speak with the police about her specific situation and options. She ordered two cameras to install – one in the living room and one in the bedroom. Next, she’d buy another box of condoms and tell her mother-in-law the old ones were leaking or something and put them back in the ornamental box she kept them in.
Consequences Necessary
She isn’t sure if it’ll work, but she knows that her mother-in-law needs to face some sort of consequence for what she’s done. As for the pregnancy, she will continue and cherish the new baby as she would have, regardless of how it was conceived.
