Oh Kim, I am sure no-one means anything offensive by the comments, if people didn't realise that this was on the cards maybe they are a bit suprised and think of the first thing that pops into their head - usually something as you've mentioned. You are right, it is your choice, your life and your business and no one elses. Try not to get upset, do you think those early pregnancy hormones are making you a bit more emotional also? You will get heaps of support from me and i'm sure from all the lovely people on this forum, no critisism whatsoever. Cheer up, this is supposed to be a happy time.
