Anyone Else?

This is kinda dumb. Even ill admit it. But are any of you pregnant with a man that has two kids already? I sit and stress about how my family is going to make it due to paying child support on two other children that he doesn't see. His family sits here and compares me to the other two women and compares my child to the other two and it makes me feel bad...again it's dumb but is anyone else feeling like this? There's no excitement from anyone except my mother which this is her first grandchild.

I guess I just want my kid to have a better life than I did. I just feel like he loves the other ones more and doesn't even get to see the one. Probably won't the second one if she's even his. I'm not letting it stress me out anymore. I've decided if he leaves either way my child will be okay I'll play both roles. Thank you all!!(:

I was on the use situation. At the time my fiance and I weren't even together and everyone thought I "stole" him from his other son's mom. I wasn't working steadily at the time either. Drama! Biy now our son is 5, we're getting married in May and having another baby. Things weren't perfect but they worked themselves out because our focus was our son and making ourselves better, together or not. Its not dumb to feel that way. You want to feel like a family. Trust that it will work out.

I try not to let it get to me because it's honestly dumb. But at the same time I'm unemployed I'm buying all the things for the baby he makes $19 an hour on a 53 hour week he's gonna have to pay child support on the second child to if she's even his it's like dang. And he gets mad because I spend what money I get for the baby. It makes no sense at all.

Im having a child by my bf that had adopted to children with hos ex wife. At first he was so stressed out about loosing the two he adopted that he completely ignored me the first 4 weeks im now 10weeks ill be 11 weeks tomorrow and hes finally coming around to where hell tall about our baby and not be as stressed. But were bother stressed because his ex is taking 2,300$  for child support everymonth so its hard to handle and go through. Nonone knows that he and i are expecting except my mom and step dad all his friends and family dont even know hes with someone. So i kinda feel like im in the shadows because he and i never go out in public and ge works 24/7

And it is stressful on r part two. Im also nervous about being compared to his other childrens mother.but at the same time i try not to care, shes raising her children the way she wants and im going to raise mine the way i want. Im also nervous bc we do c his children and his oldest is 5 and im worried about how she'll feel bc shes a daddys girl. My bf and i r worried she'll hate the baby bc the baby will b w daddy all the time and she cant be.

I'm having my child with a guy who has a daughter from his previous relationship. Still in her life but doesn't want to be involved with this one. My familyis excited but I know how you feel. It gets to you especially if you're doing it by yourself.

Sorry we're the other way I have two children from my previous marriage, this is my partners first child. But I think I know what you mean, I believe the only advice I can give you is, ignore the haters, if they keep comparing therm they aren't worth it.
