Afternoon Ladies

After the past couple of weeks laying low on this site.
i have come to suprisingly announce that i am already preg with #2.

I know it should be a HAPPY time for me and my DP but i cant seem to beat myself up over it.
my LO is only close to 5 months old and well me and DP had a bit of a woopsie on our anniversary, the reason im beating myself up or even scared to post this announcement is because i feel guilty that there is women who try and try to concieve and sadly it can take them months,years and cost a lot of money. and well here i am 5 months post natal and pregnant already.
my sister has been ttc for over a year now with absolutly NO sucess. and just one night for us results in this. Dont get me wrong i am so thrilled to be preg, i just cant seem to find that happy medium with all these thoughts.
I dont by any means want anyone to think i am being insensitive by saying this about my pregnancy, i guess im just to scared to be happy and enjoy it for the thought of hurting others feelings.
My poor sister is going to be devistated.. i have absolutly NO idea how im going to tell my family and friends.


I dont know what im looking for when writing this, it just feels better when i get it off my chest.

Congratulations!!

I think it is great that you are thinking of others at this time but it is also a time for you to celebrate. Don't fret about what others say - they will all cope in their own way - and I am sure that they will come around.

Congratulations on your pregnancy!

I am in a bit of a situation too, though my SIL is just pg too but miscarried previously, so i am waiting until her 7 weeks scan to then tell everyone.

I guess there never really is the right time to tell someone whos having difficulties. All the same, I'm sure she may seem a little saddened intitially but deep down - all families love the news of a new addition

Good luck

[Jahzara]

Congratulations !!

Dont worry - be happy

Congratulations!! You are so sweet thinking of others, but dont put too much thought into to the point where it worries you. Sit back and enjoy hun. Yes your sis will be pretty upset, just be careful of the way you break the news to her. GL!

[feeb]

Congratulations its very sweet of you to be thinking of others, your sister I am sure will be upset but also happy for you.

Hope you have a happy and healthy 9 months

[Oscar&Grouch]

Thanks for your kind words ladies.
means alot to know your all here for me!

[Rowellen]

Congrats
Some people are just super fertile & some are not. There's not much you can do about it so try not to feel guilty. It's not your fault, it's just the way the world is.
And send some of that super fertility my way lol!! I'm about to start trying for # 2.

ETA: Hopefully your sister will be UTD soon & you can be belly buddies

[Just Me]

Congratulations - that is wonderful news!!!

I think it is so lovely for you to have them so close together. My DD1 and DS are a little over 12 months apart and I love how close they are in age and friendship.

I can understand that you are worried about your sister - the only thing that I can suggest is that you tell her in private before you tell anyone else so she has a heads up. Don't expect anything from her and let her just react the way that she wants to. It is lovely of you to think of her.

Enjoy your pregnancy and planning for your next bub!

Congrats!

We had a 'woopsie' too We were only going to have 2 kids but # 3 is on the way. (# 2 is only 10 months old)

In the very early days I was really stressed about how I would cope with 2 close together, but the hormones in early pregnancy can make us very sensitive and extra emotional, so you can also blame them for how you are feeling too.

It took us nearly 3yrs to TTC #2 and I know when I found out others around me were pregnant it was hard but only because I couldn't wait for our turn, otherwise I was very happy for them, as I knew they would be happy for us when our turn came.

I agree with Just Me's post, about telling your sister in private if you can.

Best of luck! I'm sure you'll feel better about it all when the hormones settle down a bit more

just a update ladies...

As i recently just hit the 12 week mark, and also the fact my belly is starting to **** out like ive eaten one to many cheeseburgers i decided to tell my parents we are expecting #2 already! They were in complete shock as its very quick but as explained it was our little woopsie anyway all went fine, besides her complaining shes not old enough to have 3 grandchildren shes only 44 haha anyway while there DP and dad wondered off to look in the sports shop so i took the opportunity to ask mum how to approach my sister.

mum advised me to invite her over to dinner tonight as dp wont be home as his going to his best mates going away BBQ. so she is coming over at 7pm so that gives me time to get Oscar to bed etc.. anyway this is where i need your ladies help.
WHAT DO I SAY! i know my sister and she is going to be angry/upset no matter what i say. Im not a confrontational kind of person, and try avoid conflict.
so if anyone has any tips to start the convo off etc.. it would be greatly appreciatedd

[Rainbow_Mumma]

congratulations!

[Shanti]

Congratulations!! You are so sweet thinking about your sister like that. But this is YOUR exciting news, she will get used to the idea and should be happy for you!!!!
You're just lucky you are super fertile
You should tell everyone soon, maybe at 12wks? And expect people to congratulate you and be happy for you as this is nothing but happy news! If others can't be happy for you or they are jealous than that is there problem hun
