Congrats.

I don't envy your position. I reckon you are going to get lots of comments about you having enough kids already and also lots about trying for a boy. You could also get comments about your age as it seems there are lots of people out there who don't think you should have kids over the age of 35.

It's not easy to deal with negative comments about your pregnancy. The worst I got was from a woman telling me how brave I was giving birth at my age (I was 42 when I gave birth but was still pregnant when she said it). I still don't know what she meant by it and I couldn't think of anything to say back so just walked off. Until she realised how old I was she'd been all positive about it.

Now that we have a boy and my DF has a girl everyone is presuming that there will be no more. I'd hate to think what kind of comments we'd get if we did. Before I'd even had him my mother had asked me what kind of contraception I was going to use afterwards ("because you don't want to be having another one"). I found that unbelievable as he was afterall my first child.

I wish people would keep their opinions on how many children any couple should have to themselves.

Best of luck with announcing your pregnancy. Whatever they say don't let it get to you. Remember you don't have to say anything back, you can always just ignore what was said or do what I did and walk off.
