I am pregnant with baby number 5 (due mid year 2007). I too had negative exeriences when I told people my 'news'. One woman I told just laughed ... I remember thinking - It's not that funny???. Another woman said 'oh well, at least you will get $4000 from the government. But the most common reaction was ... 'Why?'
The reaction in my circle of friends really rocked me ... I didn't realise people could be so closed minded.
I have now preconceived some comebacks for the comments that get thrown at me ... For example - when people say, 'Don't you know what causes it?' - I answer, 'Of course I do ... A loving secure marital relationship!'
