    I'm Pregnant again... I'm THRILLED, DH will KILL me...

    Hi all,

    I'm Sarah and I am pregnant again. This will be a our 4th child. The thread title was a little dramtic, however DH only wanted 2 children and now we are prg with our 4th. I haven't told him yet, as I only found out today, so I am guessing I am only like 4 - 5 weeks. If the Ovulation Calculator I used was right the baby will be born in April around the 7th.

    My DD 10, DS 3, DS 1 + baby...

    I am not really sure what to do, or when to tell him. With my last DS I had 2 MC before him. So I am not 100% sure this one will stick. But I am thrilled to bits. DH will only bring me down from my high is I tell him. His argument will be we only have a 3 brd house. He doesn't like kids having to share a room. But me and my sister did, granted we were all little at the time then parents built a house and had own rooms.

    So one give me some advise... I mean it was not I planned this behind his back. We were both will, (and I am on the breast feeding pill, fat lot of good that is) so he can't blame me. Granted he knew I wanted 4 kids, and I have been asking him since we had last DS to go and get snipped. MEN...

    For now I wont be telling anyone but you ladies. As you are all in the so boat as me pregnant.

    Any help or words of wisdom would be great.

    Cheers
    Sarah

    EDD: 7th April 2010

    Congratulations hun. I am sure DH will come around if he is less than happy - it's not like he has a choice in the matter, it's happening now so the only thing to do is just make the best of it

    Coolabahdee: My baby's are always late at least 5-10 days, so knowning my luck it will be born of last DS brithday 23 April...
    Also my luck I would be having triples or twins. I would defently be a dead wife then...

    Bon: Am sort of scared of how it will trun our. How will I be able to cope from 3 to 4. 2 - 3 was hard.
    Actully I don't care, 'cos I am a farmers wife I did it by myself with the first 3 I can do it again with DD help. she love holding babies...

    Thanks again ladies...

    Sarah

    Congrats....our #4 was a suprise too...my DH only wanted 1 - now he has 4. But at the end of the day he knew im super fertile, mini pill doesnt work for me and refused to get the snip...so kinda going to happen that i fall pregnant. Same can be said for you...

    We have a 3 bedroom house, 6 people in it...we're doing ok. Although rennos will start soon for a 4th bedroom.

    It took me and DH a long time to get used to being pg with #4...we both dealt with it in our own time....it wasnt easy...but we got there - together. Make sure you talk heaps.....

    Congratulations!

    I grew up as one of 8 kids in a 4 bedroom house. We survived to tell about it. Actually I loved sharing a room, and my girls also share rooms and love it. Having a room to your self might be appealing sometimes, but having a close sibling to talk and share with is a life long gift, IMO.

    Anyways, give your DH a little time to adjust - he'll come around. As Mbear said - keep communicating!

    All the best!

    Don't worry Sarah, I'm sure he'll be thrilled when he gets used to the idea. Here's hoping for a sticky baby.
