Hi all,
Hope you are having a good day.
HELP ME! I have just found out the sickness the other night wasn't a 24 hour thing it was a 9 month thing! (literally found out 10 mins ago)
I haven't even told my hubby yet.
I dont know quite what to do (ok i know i will keep the baby).
We already have three and always wanted a big family but all i remember is the dissapointment on my familys faces when i told them i was pregnant with #3. In their eyes i already had a boy and a girl so why would i want any more?
Now i have two boys and a girl, what on earth are they going to say now?
I feel sick with the thought of telling my mother. (I know i should grow up i'm 29 have been happily married for 7 years) have a decent income and bright healthy happy children.
But even so..........
Oh god.
Sorry, had to vent hopefully will feel better about it soon.
Sorry again but i do feel better for typing it out to a bunch of strangers than telling my own family.

Thank you babe, your post made me smile for the first time in the last 20 mins or so.
Still dont feel ready to tell hubby.
If he was to say brilliant news i love you babe i'd be fine.
If he was to say great do you want some dinner i will hit him over the head with tonights freshly baked hob-nobs (still in the hot tray of course)
Just hope my family says congratulations but i really really dont hold my breath.
They will of course be fine when bubba comes along but for the next few months all i will get is tittle tattle and pittiful stares.

Oh Leigh! <<Hugs>>
Our little one was a 'surprise' baby.....it's very difficult when you first find out (I was 36 and cried and cried and cried) but he is one of the best things that's ever happened to us and I'm so glad we have him. He totally changed the equilibrium of the family (for the better).
I know it's easy for me to say, but forget your family and their views.....this is between you and your husband and the children you already have. You all need to come to terms with it before telling the rest of your family your news and then deal with any comments together.
I know it's probably not what you want to hear right now, but congratulations! I'm delighted for you!
If you feel you want a shoulder, just send a pm.
Take care,

No problem at all heavenleigh, i have been there at the end of the funny looks and tiittle tattle, especially as my 3 eldest only have a year between them, walking around with 4,9,10,11 at 30 years old still gets me talked about now!!
But you know what stuff them all, as long as you your dh and kids are happy who cares what people think.
We are all here for you, pm me if you wish good luck!!

Congratulations HeavenLeigh.
Have a great break PP.0 -
Thank you both.
I think i am ferked either way....reading back my posts, i have only known i am pregnant for the last 3/4 hour or so and already my spelling, punctuation and grammer have gone to pot.
Can't pluck up the courage to tell my hubby incase he isn't as over the moon as i would like him to be.
I dont think he will be sad i just think he wil be 'non plus' about the whole thing and then i will want to murder him in his sleep!
