When family members judge each other's prenatal choices and parenting approaches

My sister-in-law and I are both pregnant and she keeps making comments about my prenatal choices that feel judgmental - about my doctor, my birth plan, what I'm eating. My husband says she's just excited but I'm starting to avoid family gatherings and that's creating tension in our marriage.
