yikes!

I just found out that I'm pregnant as of friday. I'm 22 years old, and this will be my second pregnancy......the first I lost almost a year ago. I'm pretty excited about having the child, however I don't know what to expect and the father and I are having a difficult time figuring out how we're going to break it to our families. His family absolutly hates me....and mine isn't so fond of him either. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good way to break the news to them???

Hey, I had the same problem, i am currently pregnant at the moment and my dad hates abosoultly hates my partner and my partner's mother didn't like me either but we didn't care what they had to say so I just went and seen my dad and told him and he seemed rather angry but he has grown to it and is now actually trying to have a good relationship with my partner not only for his grandson but for me he said he didn't want to lose me and I told him he would if he didn't make an effort to support us or try to get along with Mathew (my partner) and he then told his mother and she acts like we never ever had a problem she tells me all the time how she is so happy Mathew and I are together and it is just so much better and the relief we both felt after we told them was just the best feeling! I say you just sit them down and tell them other wise how else can you tell them? Our parents were just glad we told them rather than hiding it from them!

I am pregnant also and it's also my first on too. I have had mixed emotions since the day I found out. The sad part is I can't share the joy with my family and some of my friends back home cause I don't want to hear the lectures. Because of alot of things that are going on in my life right now that need to be taken care of. Right now I can't get into details but I do know that I will be marring the baby's father next spring or summer cause him and I get along great, but there are somethings that I have to take care of before him and I get married. So to say I am excited, scared, worried, hopeful and worried and they all come and go. It all dependds what all is going on at that second or that day. More than anything though I want the baby to be ok and to be healthy. The reason why I am worried is cause me and the baby's father is trying to do our best to find work so that our fiances will get better and so we will have a better place to live. We have tried to get help on a place to live but it's hard to get a place with no income and medical conditions stops or limites what jobs we can work at. My boyfriend(THE BABY"S FATHER) wants to support both me and the baby so bad and there's no friends out there to help us and his famil disowned him. he always helped his friends when they needed it but they aren't helping him when he needs it.
Anyways Like I said this is my first and I am about 3 months along and I had people tell me that all the emotions I am having are normal. If I am wrong please let me know from those who had kids already.

Close pregnancy

Hi, I've just found out that I am pregnant for the second time. Wonderful news, except that my first baby, a little boy, is only 6 months old, I am most of the way through completing my university degree, I'm only 21, and my husband and I are renting in a small two bedroom flat in his parents' house. He is leaning towards abortion, but I can't decide either way. I'm 8 weeks, so I want to make a decision really soon as I couldn't bear to have a late abortion, for the baby's sake. I'm worried about the effects on my husband and my relationship, on my first baby, on my health and on our friends and family, as well as our finances and careers. Can anyone offer any advice?

And their children, because of the closeness in age, are really good friends. Here's one example: My mother found herself in the exact same position as you're in. My two brothers are 11 months apart in age and have always been great friends. Their personalities complement each other, even though they live miles apart in different states.

The decision to abort is entirely yours and your husbands, but consider all the options first. DON'T let anyone tell you what you both should do. Do you have someone you can talk to? Like a church elder or a counsellor? Someone who can offer an objective opinion, without any emotion or pressure to do one thing or the other.

I wish you all the best and hope that you decide which is the best for you and your husband.

Oh, by the way. CONGRATULATIONS !!!! It IS fantastic news. Pregnant Smiley

Take care.

Thank you for replying, just seeing that you had taken the time to write, made me smile. I really needed some cheering up! I'm still not sure what to do, but after talking to my husband extensively, I do believe he'll support me in whatever I decide. I also think I'm going to ring my mum, just for someone to talk to. Thanks again for your help,

I just hope that it was some advice that you can use. And, of course, that's what mums are for. You sound like you need someone to talk to. Husbands are good for that, but Mum's always better when it comes to pregnancy and children. At least, that's what I've found.

By the way, I'm from Australia too. Queensland to be exact. Plus, if you want to talk to fellow Aussies, there is a board here for that purpose. Just look for "families in your area".

Take care of yourself. I hope everything goes well for you and your husband.

Bye for now

3 years ago I was in a very similar position that you are in now. I had just turned 22 and had a beautiful little 3 month old baby boy, when I found out I was pregnant again! I was breast feeding, taking the mini pill and hadnt had a period. It was a very daunting time and I wondered if I could do it all again so soon, the usual questions creept in, just like with you- will we be ok financially, my career will be put on hold, and my health. I can tell you my husbands reaction was less than enthusiastic as well. He said the same thing about an abortion, but its not something I could go through with, everyone has a different opinion on this. Needless to say we now have a gorgeous three year old boy and a two year old girl, who are best of friends! They follow each other around all day. I wont say that the first year or so wasnt hard, because it was. Lots of late nights and nappy changes but it does get easier. I know all the feelings you are experiancing right now, I've been there, but what I can tell you is to follow your heart. Our kids are the best thing thats happened to my husband and I, I cant imagine my life without them - and we are adding to our family again - I am due in December. So we will then have 3 under 4! Its going to be a hard decision for you to make, and I wish you all the best. As I said follow your heart.
