told my family.....:(

[scandicmum85]

I've just told my family about my pregnancy. I expected them to say congratulations or something. but instead they just told me to have abortion, im so shocked, and I know they are weitd and are not happy ive moved over here ... But how can they say this ! Really gutted..

 

[Drummers_wife]

That's awful how dare they!! Big luvie x x

 

[cosmicgirl]

How awful, don't let their negativity get you down xxx

 

[Mummy2Adam]

That is awful hunny but you are the one who is going to be carrying your LO for 9 months and your going to be bringing your LO up, so aslong as your happy then thats all that matter. Massive x x

 

[Lulu_Laroo]

Aww thats terrible Keep your chin up, try and stay happy for yourself and baby xx

 

[Franna75]

I'm sorry to hear that, but from experience i'm guessing it's shock on their part. I told my sister a couple of weeks ago and she went totally OTT, she said i should have an abortion asap, never speak to my OH again, that it was ridiculous and like something off Jeremy Kyle.

At the time i was very upset - I'm 35 and have been with my OH for 18 months, not that it matters, but i'm not 13 and back from a week in Cyprus! The good news is she is very happy about it now and has realised that if anything she should be on the Jeremy Kyle show!!

I'm sure they will be fine once it has sunk in.....xx

 

[Cantstop]

What a strange reaction - if you're happy and not asking them for anything I can't understand what their problem is! I'm sure they'll come round as time goes by, and in the meantime just ignore their reaction and enjoy your pregnancy.

 

[xshauna_bazx]

That is an awful thing for them to say I would let them take it in then make sure they know how horrible their reaction was and what a horrible thing it was to say! Don't let it get you down...think of that little baby xxx

 

[Princess81]

How awful!
It's such a special time for you and you want this baby so much! I just can't understand a reaction like that try to ignore them as best you can, they should realise you news their support

 

[TiffanyJaynexo]

Awww sweetie, I'm sorry you didn't get the reaction you wanted, but this is far too common when it comes to announcing your pregnant... and very few people actually say it to your face!

Let them cool down for a few days, let them approach you and wish you all the best! This happens a lot and I can bet that at least one person in my life would say the same to me if I told them I was pregnant. Don't let this get you down lovely, it's simply just their first reaction, and I know for a fact when they see that LO in real life they'll be so proud of you even if they don't admit it! They'll come to terms with it, don't be upset!

xxxx

Hope your OK hun, my mum and dad really didn't take it well at first and tbh it took them until I was around 20 weeks or more for them to come round really, and for them to be completely OK and talk about it and not be so fussed, mum didn't want me to keep it, dad did, but they both said the decision is mine and they will just have to respect that, hopefully they will come round hun, they might juust really need some time, the initial shock is the worst xx

 

[scandicmum85]

Thanks for all support in here.... I know it must been a shock to them, they are relly not happy I've moved to another country and always tried to control me in a way.... My family and our realitionship is strange, I'm just having a hard time... And I feel this is supposed to b a happy time, my oh told me today his mum thinks we not being sensible and it upsets me people see this way... We wanted this so much and now things just aren't as I thought would be.. but I just got to keep positive and think of the outcome of all this, a beautiful baby and I really cant wait... I don't feel like speaking to my family again at all. This is just too far to tell me to have an abortion.... X

 

[FebMum2Be]

That must be so terrible for you to deal with I know it's hard atm, but you have a beautiful baby on the way that will fill your life with a happiness that is unexplainable, and impossible to understand until you have experienced it yourself Which you will, it will fly by.. So insensitive of them, even if that's what they think how dare they say it to you.. Good luck with your pregnancy sweets xxxx

 

[Binzy]

What a horrid way to react, they are obviously bitter about something else and are taking it out on you.
So sorry for you.

 

[LouiseB]

Oh my gosh, how awful...

Why are they reacting like this?

It seems it is both your family and your OH's - what reason do they have for being so negative?

If your family is always controlling, then that might have explained it but for your OHs family to react the same too - maybe they are worried? I dunno, i don't understand

What reason did they give - why have an abortion? Why are you being irresponsible?

I hope you are alright

 

[scandicmum85]

It's maybe because we only been together for a year, maybe a bit soon I know .....

I was with my fella for 5 weeks when I fell pregnant
