Telling DH and our parents I'm pregnant again.

I got two BFP's yesterday and according to LMP I am 4 weeks 2 days pregnant today. I haven't told DH yet. This was an "oops" baby, and I have every intention of keeping it. I know we can raise two kids, but we were not prepared to get pregnant so soon. We weren't planning on TTC for at least another year and a half. I'm scared of DH's reaction because I know he sure as hell didn't want another baby so soon. I want to tell him over the phone or tell him in person and then go out for a while so he can have time to calm down and sort his feelings about it.

Also scared to tell our parents...I mean I shouldn't be, because we're married and we live on our own and get no help from them really. But I am only 20 and he is 22 and I'm pregnant with baby #2. He is working two jobs while I go to school. I am starting the accelerated nursing program this summer and graduating next summer. Well...that was the plan at least. So I know they're going to worry about us, or they'll want us to get rid of it because we're not ready, but that's not an option for me and I know we can do it.

I'm meeting up with my best friend later today to tell her the big news, and I know she'll be ecstatic lol. But I have no clue how to tell anyone else...help!

Also, DS is almost 16 months old now and this baby is due 2 days after his second birthday. How can I prepare him for a little brother/sister? I'm not too worried about it right now, but when my belly gets big and he gets older he'll want to know why, and when the baby comes home he'll want to know when he/she's going back lol. My parents tell me a couple days after bringing me home from the hospital, my brother (2 years 3 months old at the time) asked when they were taking me back haha.

I personally think you should be telling your husband before anyone else.

Im sure everyone will be excited!
We are telling my family at our monthly b-day party (family gets together and celebrates all bdays that month) Doing to picture/video thing :-)



Im telling my DH on Valentines day/my bday.. Figured out a super cute way to do it (keeping it secret tho) haha.

But Im 4 weeks 2 days today too. CONGRATS!

Forgot to add.. My oldest son was 26 months when we brought his brother home, He hated it for about 6 weeks but now loves him to bits :-)

You never know they may actually be happily surprised?

i personally would tel your SO over your friend first though but that's just cause if the roles were changed and men were the ones who got pregnant I would be pissed to know second that I'm Having another child.

You're in for a lot of work but things will work out. Good luck.

Congratulations. Just tell them. It will be a huge weight off your chest.

But how do you plan on supporting another while your SO already works 2 jobs and you're in school full time? It sounds like you guys are barely making it as it is.

Agree.

Quoting My boys=My life~4weeks:" Im sure everyone will be excited! We are telling my family at our monthly b-day party (family gets together ... [snip!] ... day/my bday.. Figured out a super cute way to do it (keeping it secret tho) haha. But Im 4 weeks 2 days today too. CONGRATS!"

I think everyone will be excited once the shock wears off lol...but for now I think their reaction will be about the same as when we told them I was pregnant for the first time. Maybe not so bad, since we're already parents and not exactly entering unknown territory, but their reaction could also be worse because well...we are having a second baby lol. That's awesome we're due on the same day!

Lol I texted him the pictures both times with a little ;) and said life about to get interesting :p he was like 0.o

I'd probably be pissed too if I was the second to find out I was having another baby...didn't think of that. I'm just not ready for his reaction, and it'd be nice to already have someone who I know will be happy and supportive of me.

Well even if DH blows up, you already know your friend will support you. Hopefully he can be grown up about it though.

Lol do you think it'd be a good idea for me to just text him now while he's at work or should I wait till I can tell him in person?

Well I'd text him a pic of the test or something like the other lady said then. That way he has time to think. you already know your friend has your support so I'd tell him first and as soon as you let him know THEN talk to your friend and let her know that way she can be there for support.
