You should not be terrified to tell your husband ~ after all it did take BOTH of you to make your beautiful blessing!

ha ha reminds me of when I found out i was pregnant again. Our daughter was 10 months old and I was on the IUD and supposed to get implant surgery the very next day..Try topping that one...Sorry love you wont be getting boobies but you will be getting a baby. :)

I would just tell him. I`m 32 weeks pregnant with my third. I have a 1yr old and a 2yr old. This pregnancy was unplanned and me and hubby were both shocked but we were having unprotected sex so we knew it could happen. Congrats & Good Luck with everything. I`m sure it will all work out!

Just come out and tell him, he will be happy after the shock wheres off. I know my hubby would be mad if I waited to long to say anything to him. Congrats, it will all work out I am sure.

Well first off hunni CONGRATS!! Im not sure how to go about telling him. I would sit him down one night after dinner, let him enjoy his day and relax and tell him sweetie, I love you and I wanted to tell you we are expecting a little miracle.. or something to that extent.. But CONGRATS again hunni! :o)

Congrats!!! I read our last poll about an hour ago.... As for telling him, I have no idea. Maybe next time he bring up the `You better not be pregnant` as mentioned in your last poll say something along the lines of `Surprise!!!` :P

Try telling him in a fun way. leave clues around the house or give him a gift of baby socks or something. Even if they freak at first whats done is done and they will get over it. goodluck and congrats!!!

  1. Silly poll, just checking the odds.. for parents of 3+kids, did you have:
  2. Career conundrum... Opinions valued (particularly from teachers - but I would value advice from anyone). Details inside.
  3. At what age do you think it`s appropriate to drop your child off at a sporting training (not a school sport, a sports club such as soccer, footy, tennis, netball club etc), and come at the end to pick them up?
  4. If you saw a car up your next-door neighbour`s drive (evening), would you make a social visit (and didn`t know them very well)?


  5. So this is what the Tooth Fairy would be like if the roles were reversed haha!
  6. Bookworms - is anyone reading the new Khaled Hosseini book `And the Mountains Echoed`? I pre-ordered it on kindle which should have arrived today (I haven`t checked yet) but was wondering if anyone would be interested in a group read?
  7. HELP - my 3 year old daughter is developing a phobia to fluff! I feel responsible, I have a ridiculous phobia of bees and wasps - to the point it hinders my ability to enjoy playing out in the garden during the summer, it`s detrimental. My kids have picked up on this and are sh*t scared of bees and wasps, but with my daughter it was soon spiders, then ants and now, tiny black bits of fluff - which she finds all over; on her pillow etc. It`s genuine terror in her face as she screams she can see them moving and they`re `going to get her` or `bite her`. What do I do? She`s old enough to be reasoned with that they don`t move and we pick most of them off before bedtime, but she wakes in the night and starts crying that `The Fluff`s coming...!!` How can I help her? Do you think this is just a phase or do you think it`s worth seeking some sort of external, professional help to nip this in the bud? I HATE the thought of passing on my phobias and anxieties to my children - it`s no way to live to be a constant worrier about things beyond your control and I;ve suffered with anxiety and panick attacks for nearing 6 years now and can`t ever remember just feeling `normal` and `well` - I can`t remember my life before my first panick attack. This is NOT what I want for my children...
  8. On Facebook I saw one of those like pictures, a mom who sent her child to school for days wearing out of style `ugly` clothes because she was bullying another girl about her clothes. Mom`s yourselves, what do you think of this type of punishment?
  9. Can anyone relate? My 4 year old is making all sorts of amazing connections which is great that he`s thinking about the world, but some of his thoughts are quite deep. He`s a natural born worrier (gets that from me!) and I try to protect him from as much as I can but there`s things that can`t be avoided. Ie, ever since Easter, he`s been plagued with fear about getting holes in him like Jesus (he learnt it at Kindy). Well just this evening he came out with `Why do you and Margo (Grandma) have holes in your ears like Jesus? Did you get your ears nailed to a cross?` He`s also obsessed with the fear of death.
  10. Family of 4 flying Southwest tomorrow (2.5-hr flight), baby riding in carseat on plane so can only sit by window. Flight is full. Which seating arrangement would you choose...
