Help telling husband

I am extreemly excited to say that I am pregnant.  I am a stay at home mum of two fantastic kids , a son who has just turned 3 and a daughter who turns 2 this month.  Last year I had a miscarriage and it devestated me.  When I first found out I was pregnant I told my husband straight away.  He screamed and yelled for about 1/2 an hour.  The worst thing he said was "Why wont anyone listen, we can have another child.  I wish it would just go away.  Make it go away"  Finacially were not swimming in money but for a young family (I'm 25 and my husband is 31) we do reasonably well.  He has a secure full time job which he has heald for 13 years . We have our own house that we are paying off, we own our car, we pay (most of ) the bills on time and he does pretty much whatever he want - sport, going out and drinking, going away - in two years he has been away on his own twice both interstate holidays.  I get up every night with our kids, I keep house very well, I even iron his work shirts and pack his lunch every night.  I dont get what the drama is for him.  One week after I told him, I miscarried.  He wasnt even home and I couldnt find him until the next day.  Not once did he come to a dr's apt with me.  I blamed him for a long time for it.  Now that I am pregnant again I am scared to tell him because of his reaction. I cant keep it a secret for much longer though, I suffer from severe and prolonged morning sickness.  it was that bad with my daughter that I was hospitalized over night but had to come home the next morning becuase my husband couldnt take a day off work.  I'm saddened to think that I can share this with him.  But I am petrified of his reaction - What do I do?  Do I tell him to stuck it up and deal with it, or do I let him vent.  He loves our kids so much I know once he see this baby will will love it just as much.

I had fear of childbirth also

Quote From: sexscared

I have confirmed the pregnancy both with a urine and blood sample at my doctor's office just the other day. As far as how we conceived, we were fooling around without penetration and apparently it is possible to become pregnant that way! My doctor feels that I just have to "get over my fear" because it's going to happen regardless! I am very scared! I am extremely excited to be pregnant but I just don't understand how a crippling fear that I have had for 10 years is just going to go away over night! 

I don't mean to sound rude or inconsiderate, but there was no penetration?  And you still got pregnant?!  When you say that there was no penetration are you only talking about the penis?  Now, stay with me for a minute, I'm trying to figure this out as well.  Was there penetration of any fingers or toys?  If he had ejaculated and either you or him had touched his penis and some sperm had gotten on yours or his fingers or the toy and then there was vaginal intereaction, then yeah, I could see it happening that way.  But besides that, I wouldn't know what would cause pregnancy without penetration, seems like there would need to be some sort of penetration. 

  

And about your fear of giving birth, I was the same way!  I think most women have some fears of childbirth.  You shouldn't have anything to worry about, in today's medical society there aren't as many deaths or complications with childbearing as there was even 20 years ago.  I have had two cesarians and I am perfectly healthy and so are my children and the whole procedure went absolutely wonderful.  Don't let your fear get in the way of one of the best day's in your life, and that is meeting you first born child. 

  

Take it easy, try to enjoy.  The better you take care of yourself while you're pregnant, the better your delivery will be.  Stress isn't going to help.  I know it's hard to do, but I had to deal with it as well and everything turned out fine as I'm sure it will for you as well.  Take care and blessed  be.

Opinions, anyone?

I am 22 weeks pregnant, excited, contented, and really fat ;p! Sound familiar? Yes, well, I'm also 16. I personally believe that I will be a good mother to my unborn son despite my age, but I would love to hear others opinions. My fiance is 27 years old (this is legal in canada!) and we are very much in love and have been for almost 3 years (I will be 17 soon). We will be married in June and our son will be born in August. I thank everyone for any comments they make, and please, be honest, I will not take it personally! ;p

i personally dont think age has anything to do with whether or not you will be a good parent.  I met my husband when I was 15 and he was 24, we lived together for 3 years before we got married when I was 18.  I am now 25 and have 2 gorgeous children, a boy and a girl and am 8 weeks pregnant.  I think its great that you are making the commitment to get married.   

As for your weight, your probably not that big.  When I was going threw my first pregnancy I thought I was huge but it wasnt until after I realised that I wasnt that big.  I just wasnt used to it.  Take care and good luck with the wedding and birth of your son.

Morning Sickness

Just wondering if any one has any ideas on how to relieve morning sickness.  I unfortunantly suffer from hypermesis gravadum (which is out of control sickness).  I had it with both my son and daughter and am experiencing it again, I am only 8 weeks pregnant.  I cant keep anything down already not even water.  Each time I have been hospitalized, put on a drip to stop dehydration and given maxalon tablets.  It was that severe last time that I was still vomiting as I went into labour with my daughter,  my body seems to treat pregnancy as a virus.  I have tried ginger, Vitamin B6, the blackmores morning sickness vitamins, acupressure wrist bands, and eating small regular meals.  Nothing seems to be helping and as I know this will be my last pregnancy I just want to enjoy it instead of having to worry about am I going to be vomitting in public (which has happened before right in the middle of the supermarket)  I would be so grateful if anybody has any other ideas for me.

I am 18 weeks pregnant and know how you feel with the morning sickness. This is my first pregnancy I was sick from my 5th week to about my 9th week. Things that helped for me were: leave an opened bottle of gingerale out over night or for a couple hours till it is flat by drinking that I found it settled my stomach, You could also try keeping crackers in a countainer by your bed before you get out of bed and do anything eat some of them, one thing I found that really helped me out alot was I ended up getting sick from the prenatle pills i took in the morning try taking the pill at dinner its easyer on you stomach. Anyway good luck  sincerly JESSICA

I am pregnant with baby number 2

 I am pregnant with baby number 2 after i thought i was not gonna have kids ever again.I have a 2 yr old daughter already, from a previous relationship, that went horribley wrong, so i never thought in a million years that i would be back in a serious relationship and pregnant again.I got back in touch with someone i went to high school with, and we just hit it off from there, and now we are married, and living together, and my daughter calls him daddy.Right now i am abotu 9 or 10 weeks pregnant, i've got morning sickness way worse than the last time with my daughter, and i thought it couldnt get any worse than that.I havent been taking any prenatals cause they were making me even sicker.I've even got heartburn, and with my daughter i didnt get that till the last trimester, so far this pregnancy is really odd.So right now we are thinking its either a boy, or twins, because im already showing quite a bit, pretty soon.We go this monday for the first ultrasound, and if theres two babies in there, we'll know then for sure!!But my real problem right now is with the ex, my daughters father, right now im going thru all this stress of the courts and getting hiim to sign his rights over, hes been saying for the last 2 yrs that he does want to sign off his rights, but hes never done anything about it.So i went and i seen an attourney yesterday and i found out im gonna have to take him to court, and im gonna have to face him once again.Our relationship was very voilent, he was physically and emotionally abusive, he was constantly lying and cheating, and now hes using his new gf as an excuse to hurry up and sign off rights on his daughter.Its a good thing, i guess, but i want him to make this choice for himself, and not eveyone else.I've been getting these strange pains, and their either stress related or they are from my stretching so soon, anyone get those pains like on one side right near ur hip bone?
