Dear Prudence,
Six months ago my husband and I went through the worst pain imaginable. We lost our daughter who was stillborn at 37 weeks from a true knot. Fast forward to the weekend of July 4th, my father-in-law, Mike (not his real name) told me that he knew something was going to eventually happen because I kept having children. (Our daughter was baby number six.) He said that he told my MIL that he “knew she would die” and that if I had any more children the same would happen to me. I was dumbfounded and in complete shock as to what he had said. Mind you, this was just three months after we buried our daughter. My husband said, “He’s not the smartest man,” and to brush it off the best I could. My question is, would it be wrong of me to hide a pregnancy from my in-laws? My husband and I would love to have a rainbow baby, but I wouldn’t want anyone to know for as long as possible, especially since going through the loss of our daughter.
