Forced to check in at airport

I have a flight tomorrow morning, domestic. 1 leg. I go to check in and it says I have to check in at the airport. This has never happened to me before. I spoke to the chat reps and they said it is a an “extra security” measure.

- I have TSA precheck and global entry
- I am 33 weeks pregnant, and my return is also within the 33 week window
- I am platinum pro so I fly quite often
- this is a work trip so I had to book through my company’s travel site (Navan) (regular seats as they don’t let us book basic economy)
- I upgraded myself to FC on both outbound and return

Im trying to think what on earth bullshit awaits for me at the airport.

I have traveled a lot in my pregnancy so I thought maybe I got flagged in my notes somewhere that I am pregnant and they are gonna want to verify how far along I am?

Another thought, they oversold FC and are gonna try to screw me over?

And ANOTHER thought. My husband just flew back from Dallas (before my check in opened) and he got help up at security for an HOUR over his laptop. He is a more seasoned traveler than I (he’s been EP for years). After tsa was extremely rude to him and basically treated him like a criminal and was doing something wrong and made him go through additional screening they called over the “electronics” expert who said “this is just a normal laptop guys” and let him go. He has never experienced anything like that before. So now I’m thinking, maybe I’ve been flagged cuz of his incident this morning.

Any thoughts?

MIL told my mom about miscarriage

Need to rant and possibly get advice. Also if I’m unreasonably mad.

We were previously pregnant and lost the baby early on before we could tell many people. We only told my in laws and dad cuz we could do it in person. We never got the chance to tell my mom (who lives in a far away state) before the miscarriage so we decided never to tell her. She’s very emotional and we don’t have the same type of closeness most might so I didn’t want to upset her.

My in laws absolutely knew we didn’t tell her, and were never planning to tell her. They knew very very few people knew to begin with.

Flash forward and we are pregnant again. My MIL, mother, and ex step mom are all planning my shower together. Apparently she tells my mom and ex step mom a story from “my 1st pregnancy.” My mom sends a screenshot asking what my mil meant by 1st pregnancy. I just go cold and immediately start crying cuz it’s not something I ever wanted to tell have to tell her.

I ask my mil if she told my mom about the 1st pregnancy. To which she says like, oh shit sorry I screwed up and gives excuses for herself that she thought my mom knew and she had no idea we never told her. But also she told my ex step mom too, who also didn’t know. I haven’t responded yet cuz I don’t have anything good to say. I’m so incredibly upset with her and I don’t know what to do.
