Am I being unreasonable?

Would you get mad if your mom tells your brother who is 7 years younger to you that he and his wife should start thinking about having kids? His wife is 30. I understand that she and my mom think that she should not wait much longer. But they have only been married for a year.
It really made me angry and sad at the same time to think that my brother who is so much younger to me might actually have kids before I do. I feel evil to think this way, but I cannot seem to help the way I feel.
I think my mom should have been more sensitive to my feelings. As per her, I should not be reacting this way. I understand the whole talk about its God's will or that we cannot go against His will etc. I also understand that I should be focusing on myself and my husband and not some event in someone else's life that has not yet taken place. But I am very scared about this now.
This whole thing has made me more insecure about myself and our ability to get pregnant. I don't think I'll be able to deal with this situation if it were to happen.
To add to it, my personality is completely different from my SIL and we do not exactly have a great chemistry between us.
Am I being totally unreasonable here?
