expecting baby #4

I'm 18 with baby #4 on the way. I haven't told any of my family yet or my husbands family. I'm scared of what they are going to say. Any advice?

Im 30 and found out i was having our 6 kids 4 mo ago. I was scaerd to tell my and his family as well. The soon you tell the soon the stress of how u feel will go away. Plus it your baby and your life as long as your happy is all that matters. But i do know how it feels to here another one and not congrats. So congrats every baby a blessing.

Well if it's baby #4 I'm pretty sure they can't say anything you haven't already heard. Just plan for a healthy & happy pregnancy . Yes you're young but you're also old enough to make your own decisions, it shouldn't matter what your guys families have to say as long as you guys can handle what's done.

I'm 23 and my parents still act crazy when I get pregnant. I'm on number 3 and almost 5 months and still haven't told them cuz I don't feel like hearing the negativity. I had my first 2 really young at 15 so I guess thats why they act like they do to me about getting prego. But anyways what's done is done. Congratulations and I hope they are happy for you :-*

Do they have reason to be upset? Or do you think they just won't really understand? If you guys are financially stable enough and have a happy family then they should be happy for you :)

My husband knew I was. I took the test, and it was positive so I showed him. We haven't told anyone. I'm just scared of what both our families will say.

Ill start by saying congratulations. Well since you're still a teenager they are going to be upset at first but they'll get over it. Im sure you're a good mother to your other children and that's all that matters right now.  What's done is done so now focus on baby number four. Talk to your husband before your parents so he can give you his support and input on how he feels about another baby. Start with him first and let everything sink in then move  on to telling your parents. Good luck:)
