Lol the hardest person in my family to tell is my Dad. Im such a Daddys Girl and I hate to admit it lol. I take a lot of what he says to heart and hes the last person in my family Id ever want to disappoint. But when I did tell him about #4 he actually almost cried and when I had told him this would be our last because I planned on getting "fixed" he actually DISCOURAGED the idea saying that he feels that maybe I am meant to have a big family like my hubby and I want. That meant a lot too so Im telling my Dr that Ive changed my mind :)

I was very scared to tell my mother she kept telling me to wait until me and my husband had been together longer.And one day I went over her house went to sleep and woke up maybe an hour later and she just asked me if I was pregnant out of no where!!Which was a relief (because i didnt have to bring it up)she fussed for a day and then told me she wanted a boy.If they get upset your parents won't stay that way for long.I'm 20 and my husband is 28.I think its hard for parents to let go and realize you are going to have your own family.

Dont worry about it. I have a family that really disapproves of having more than one child, and my husband and I are open to having many children. Plus we are expecting baby number 1 and we have been married for only a short time.

We havent even announced our pregnancy and my side is already making snide comments. Ignore them.

As the mr. puts it, "are any of them going to raise our kids, feed them, and clothe them? No? Then they can shut up."

Congrats! You've given your little one at home a new friend and learning opportunities! Being a big sibling is going to teach a lot!

I had my first at 17 which was the hardest to tell my dad but he was so supportive and loved the idea of having his first grandchild so having my second at 20 was alot easier to tell him and he was the first I told about my third (35 weeks)!! Couldn't of cared what anyone else thought I know I was young but had a stable home, income and partner!a

I know how you feel. My parents both loudly joked about how they hope my third child was my last. So when I found out about this baby girl I was so nervous to tell my mom that I made my sister do it. LOL of course they think I'm crazy for having four kids ur are good natured about it. After all I'm 32, married for 14 years, and have a comfortable life. LOL I think you just always want your mommys approval.
