It is sad to think that some people family/friends/coworkers etc can respond in such a negative way when a couple want to have a baby - I think it is beautiful as I see a few friends who are so happy with their bundle of joy.

I must be fortunate everyone that knows that my partner and I are planning to have a bub next year. I have heard nothing but support, encouragement etc. Everyone is very excited for us. It certainly helps when I am scared at what is going to be in store for me when I see the fs.

But if I had people giving negative comments etc about it - I'd just tell them to keep their opinions to themselves!
