Frustrating reaction: PAIF vent

I was really looking forward to telling some family this weekend, but was so frustrated by one of the reactions I got. I am glad though that most of all the reactions have been wonderful. I guess I'm mostly surprised by the one that didn't go well.
We went to a dinner at DH's beloved aunt and uncle's house along with DH's parents and siblings. Only his aunt and uncle didn't know at this point. We waited until the right moment and the pulled out the sonogram photo! They were excited and hugged us and then in front of everyone his aunt blurted out, "well did this just happen or did you have to do fertility things?"
Really??? Do you want to talk about our sex life in front of everyone? I was stunned that she would say it in front of everyone but still answered that we did need some help. Then I sat there fuming and honestly wanting to cry. Next thing she says is "Well just promise you won't name it Isabella or Bella like everyone these days!"
That's not on our list but what if it was? I can't believe there was really no congrats or asking about how things are going. Instead just two socially awkward statements. People are so frustrating sometimes.

Re: Frustrating reaction: PAIF vent
I'm sorry. That is rude.
I have a long time friend of 13 years that I chose not to tell in person before we went FB public because I just knew her response would be rude. And it was. "So you too? Did you have any help?" and she wonders why we aren't as close. I didn't even respond to her text because I just wanted to tell her to fuuuuck off.

Ugh. That would frustrate me to no end. I'm sorry she made your happy momment weird.
I had a weird moment with my step mom's mother yesterday. When she heard I was pregnant she said, "Well, are you happy?" Uhhh, what? Of course I'm happy. I kind of just stood there. I said "Yes, this baby was planned." Grrrr.

Well, that's a shiitty reaction. On the bright side, everyone there probably thought "wtf" at her questions/comments. She must have looked like an azzhole in front of the group.
I'm sorry her reaction was so upsetting though.
I am sorry about that response. That's just wrong.
We've had some negative reactions too. I guess because my youngest just turned one in April... Actually my grandma said she was hoping that my brother and his wife would be calling with pregnancy news not us... Yikes.
