Firstly, Congratulations on your pregnancy.. You seem really happy!!
as for the other stuff... I would talk to DH and explain that you really want this baby and if you and him are truely happy and in love then this is only going to bring more love to your relationship.
As for the kids, sounds like there is a bit of a story there, they also sound older so maybe they will be happy or not.. I dont have older kids so I really cant make any suggestions..
as for the mil, well she will need to accept it and get over her mood. If you and DH want this baby then she just has to deal with the cards she gets.. Hence why being a mother means you love your child unconditionaly!..
my parents didnt want us to have a second. They didnt even congatulate us when we told them. But at the end of the day Im their daughter and this is their grandchild. They give me unconditional love and support..
Enjoy your moment!! No point in stressing or getting angry over it. What will be will be..
Firstly congratulations on your pgcy. I am currently expecting number 6, so you could imagine the sort of things that somepeople are going to say to us IRL. It would be nice for those we care about be happy for us, but you need to remember one thing. Once that bub arrives everyone changes, and they may even feel abit guilty for being so negative. What I can gather this is your 1st but your DH's 3rd, what is wrong with your MIL. I would hope your DH doesnt listen to his mother and get the snip. Did you and your DH have the understanding that kids would be on the cards one day? If so then he shouldnt be worried about what anyone says. This is your child together and should be celebrated.
Congratulations again hun, and enjoy this precious gift both you and your DH have been given. hugs
Congratulations!! Enjoy enjoy enjoy your pregnancy!!! This is wonderful news babe and you sound very excited ...... your MIL will just need to get over it!! And dh should be embracing this wonderful time with you and not be so concerned about his mother!!! Sorry don't mean to sound harsh - but how wonderful a little precious bundle is on the way!!!
Congratualtions on bubs darl. I have to say you and I are like twins lol, I am 23 and my partner is 45 has two kids to previous x wife and had vesectomy done. Had a reversal but didnt work so we went through IVF, you need to tell your husband if he wants the vasectomy after you have bub then it can be very very permanent. He needs to understand that. We told the kids when I was about 16 weeks I think because we thought they would react badly but you know what, they then told us oh can we come and stay in the holidays? While they were here they were chosing names and looking at buba clothes with me and were completely different children.
As for your MIL I would not worry, you are happy and you deserve to be, I know how hard it can be. Just let her know this is another grandchild for her and another precious child for your husband I am sure they will see it soon, shock can take over for a few weeks xoxo stay strong, this is a happy time for you all.
