I planned on waiting.

To tell my FI about baby number two but he found my test this morning. He's super excited but we both decided to wait to tell our familes because we're worried they will be negative about this pregnancy.

    Thats terrible. With my first my mom asked me if I could get an abortion. She takes it all back now because she loves her grand baby but I understood since I was 21 at te time. So I hoping people will be supportive.

    May I ask why they might be negative?  You can tell me if it none of my business ;)

    I can't imagine parents not being happy, unless it is a 15 year old who is still in high school.  Our parents will be THRILLED when we tell them.  It will be the first grand-baby in the family on both sides, and both sets of parents have been asking for one for years.

    Sorry you might have someone be a downer on such a great time :(

    Congrats!  Sometimes I am wrong and my family surprises me with their kindness.  I hope yours turns out to be supportive!

     We already have an 18month old so I think people will think this is to soon to have another. So im hoping to let people know around 12-14 weeks.

    I see.

    I'm sure they will be happy...most people I know from my generation were all born with 2 years of each other. :)

    Congrats!! Very exciting. I hope your family isn't negative like you think they will be. Hopefully they'll come around if they are. No fun dealing with that. Tongue Tied

    I'm definitely dealing with this, too, and I just keep reminding myself that 9 months from now when they hold their grandbaby, they will regret ever feeling negative about it. And that's all on them.

    I told my parents today and they were kinda disappointed but I think they just need some time to let it all process. Hoping my FIs parents take the news better.

    I'm sorry your family wasn't more excited for you.  My first 2 are 14 months apart and my family didn't react negatively, but they weren't jumping up and down either.  I believe my Dad's first words were "You guys know how that happens, right?"  So embarrassing!  They will definitely come around.

     

    PS-like PP said, I don't think that age gap is all that uncommon.
