PLEASE HELP!, pregnant again with a 6 month old baby and trying to cope with the stress of my mother in law!?

You are going to have to put your foot down with your mother in law, since she cant take hints. If your husband will not speak to her for you, then you will have to speak for yourself. When she "insists" on meeting in town, just say no, that it's not practical for you to do that. Really, your husband should be helping more to sort things out. If you have been getting beta blockers for anxiety, and cant take them due to pregnancy, then he needs to help you get less stressed, and that means dealing with his mother. It's not a good excuse to say he works long hours and then wants to spend his time with you. How long would it take for him to have a firm talk with his mother? An hour or two? And then he'd have a much happier family to spend his time with. If you cant stand up to this woman, he has to do it for you. And get him to tell her that it's beyond cruel to bring presents only for his biological children, and that they must also bring things for your daughter. It is his home, and he has the right to tell them how to act in it.
