TRYING for a baby is a very personal decision – which it’s why it should only ever be up to the parents.

And the one thing about trying for a baby, is that it is out of anyone's control whether you fall pregnant or not.

However, one woman recently fell pregnant with her second child and has been the subject of anger from her sister-in-law. 

The anonymous woman decided to speak out on Reddit, explaining that she announced her pregnancy just a few weeks after her sister-in-laws announcement with her first child.

The sister-in-law accused her brother and the woman of trying to “steal the excitement” from her, and even went as far as saying that they should’ve “asked for permission” before trying for a second one. 

In a post on Reddit, the baffled woman wrote: "My sister-in-law is about 15 weeks pregnant as of right now. I am currently 9 weeks pregnant.

“Obviously, they found out first and were very excited and we were very excited for them, but also a little discouraged as my fiancé and I had been trying for almost a year with no luck.

"Then about a month ago we found out we were pregnant.

“We were ecstatic and the first person my fiancé wanted to tell was his brother who's his best friend. 

“He was excited for us but asked if he could be the one to tell my sister-in-law, and we said of course.

"We came to find out she took it awfully. 

“She cried and told my fiancé's brother that we should have asked permission to get pregnant while they were pregnant, or at the very least waited until they were well into the second trimester of their pregnancy, and that she feels like she never gets anything to herself since she joined this family."

She added: "We were not trying to steal the excitement from them in any way. 

“We were actually very surprised we got pregnant when we did because we had been going through a rough spot and hadn't really been trying as much as in the past, so while it was a planned pregnancy we were still a little shocked ourselves.

"Ever since my sister-in-law found out, she hasn't spoken to me or my fiancé. 

“The only reason we know what she's actually said is that she asked my fiancé's brother to tell my fiancé and won't actually talk to us herself. 

“She always gives weird looks and just straight-up cold shoulders.

"It's awkward especially since my fiancé's family is super close and always having family dinners. 

“We thought it would have blown over by now but there's no end in sight and it's really starting to make me wonder if we did something wrong."

Commenters on the Reddit post were left confused as many said the sister-in-law doesn't "own" pregnancy.

One person said: "Nobody 'owns' pregnancy and certainly no one is required to ask someone's permission to get pregnant."

While another added: "You have to ask HER permission? That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. You should be glad she doesn't want to talk to you. She's not worth your time."

And a third wrote: "Instead of realising that the kids can grow up as best friends, she went selfish and glory-hogging."
