when to tell

[leslie89]

I'm 8 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby my daughter is only 18 months and I'm a little embarrassed because I don't want to hear the criticism that being prego again so soon entitles, when is a good time to tell people?

My kids will be only 14 months apart...it would have only been 11 months between my 1st and 2nd but I had a mc.  Let those people that are happy for you celebrate with you.  For the people that criticize, let them see how happy and fulfilled your family is after this one is born.
The thing to realize is all pregnant women will hear bad advice or criticisms from others during pregnancy.  You just have to shrug it off with tact and do want makes you and your family happy.

My friends kids are 15 months apart.. if your daughter is already 18 months she will be 25 months when you have your baby and i think 2 years between is great. If the say anything just say its what you wanted because you didnt want a huge age gap. Its none of their business anyways and they will love your kids the same no matter how close in age.

Hey don't worry. My daughter is only 12months and I'm nearly 20weeks with baby number two. It doesn't matter what others think. Every baby is precious and I think small age gaps are lovely. Maybe really hard work but so worth it in the long run xx

I'm about 12 weeks and my son is 18 months too. He will be just turning 2 when this one comes. I really like this timing. People say stupid stuff to pregnant women about everything. It is unavoidable.
We just now have started telling folks we are expecting. Best wishes!

sweetie people are going to criticize either way if they want to. mine will be 4 years apart (we were trying for 2 years apart but it took me 2 years to get pregnant) and i have had to deal with people telling me we should have gotten pregnant with them closer together to people telling me i should have waited until my daughter is 6 or 7. then there are the ones who say we only needed one, and lets not forget the ones who are going to die because im not getting my tubes tied.point is, it is your life and dont be embarrassed and dont let anyone bring you down.

I think it is good timing cause by the time the baby is born ur other baby will be two. That's what I wanted but mine will be 3 years apart.

I think two close in age is a good thing, some people will surprise you, we told everyone right away, that might give them more time to adjust and get excited!
