Congratulations Tazzy. Hope the pregnancy goes well.

Hopefully the bleeding is nothing major. In my first pregnancy, I was bleeding at 10wks and it turned out to be nothing. Everything should be OK.

I may be going out on a limb here but I'm guessing the age between you and you partner may be an issue to your family?? I shouldn't jump to conclusions - My last boyfriend before I met my husband was 15yrs older than me (I was 19) and my Dad was so angry - It didn't last very long!!!! (I really hope I didn't offend.)

If it is, poo to them. Value their opinions, but don't necessarily take them on board. It's obvious that you and your partner have made this decision to have a child and your family should respect that. As everyone else has said in this thread, they'll come round, it's probably just the initial shock.

Good luck

Bon :-)
