xxAw I’m sorry! I hope you manage to have a nice Christmas.Told my mum today and she reacted exactly how I thought she would, like I’m 15 and up the duff.
‘Why would you do you that?! What you gonna do for money? (I earn more than her and my stepdad combined) You don’t have any family where you live. I’m so disappointed. I told Sharon at work that my kids are better than that and I’ll never have grandchildren!’
Tried to hold back the tears tbh.
Merry ChristmasI hope you all have better and more supportive reactions.
My hospital have just announced that they’re not longer allowing visitors on the postnatal ward (it was 1hr per day that you stayed in). I know April is still a while off, and it could all change again, but I’m so worried.
I’m having an elective c/sec, and previously relied on him to help out while my legs were still numb/still sore (passing the baby for feeding, changing nappies, helping me move position etc).

As much as the sickness is horrible (and that was really bad timingHad my private scan today and everything was fineI felt so sick with nerves this morning after spending last night on google reading about peoples early scan experiences (stupid mistake) so feel super relieved! I'm measuring 11+ 1, baby was moving about loads on the scan, waving it's hands and legs and hiccuping! It was so lovely to see... then I was sick in my partners van on the way home which wasn't so lovely
) I always find it reassuring 
Ahhh amazing!! We are the same, we are 11+1 today and had a scan yesterday!! Also one little baby waving and moving aroundHad my private scan today and everything was fine
So sorry you got that reaction!Told my mum today and she reacted exactly how I thought she would, like I’m 15 and up the duff.

When I first told my Mum when I had my first (I was 26) she told me to keep it quiet because she didn't want my step Dad finding out until he was in a good mood because he'd be annoyed.
Both me and my partner were both working full time, have our own home ect.
The reaction to my second was "How are you going to afford that?!"
And the reaction to this one was "When are you stopping?"
So I totally feel for you!
Sending loads of love, what a horrible way for anyone to react, let alone your mum. I’m sure you are absolutely gutted. What on earth does she mean by “better than that?” Doesn’t make any sense at all.Told my mum today and she reacted exactly how I thought she would, like I’m 15 and up the duff.

Try and concentrate on you and your own little family. If she can’t be supportive of you during the time you need it most, she doesn’t deserve you x
Thank you.So sorry you got that reaction!

I’m in a similar position, 31 and been with my partner for 8 years, both very good jobs, so not exactly shocking to get pregnant! It’s good (as crappy as it is) to know I’m not the only one who got an underwhelming response from our own bloody mothers. Thank you, you’re completely right. I think she thinks I’ve ruined my life by the ‘better than that’ comment. I’m just glad I predicted that reaction, she’s a very negative person. It would have stung a lot harder if I was expecting a happy reaction, but it’s still upsetting. I wish I kept it quiet longer! My stepdad at least congratulated me and says he’s excited to become a grandad.

In the spirit of Christmas, I’ll leave it at that. She’s lucky I’ve put away my Halloween voodoo doll.
Congratulations to you and your partner. What exciting news, and I hope you have a smooth pregnancy!

She needs something!! But thank you! In hindsight I wish I just told her after it was born, which I know is ridiculous and I’d feel so sad if my own daughter felt like that.Also told my partner’s parents tonight and they had much better reactions, his mum cried with happiness.
Good luck with everyone announcing theirs to family today! I hope to read nicer stories!!
How awful for you. It’s horrible and so so scary. It’s so difficult but try and not to get too anxious, you are in the right place if anything happens!
Just having a hard time accepting this is likely to continue all through pregnancy
Take care of yourself x
Must be scary but as the previous person said you're in the right place x
Thinking of you. Must be so scary for you and upsetting!
Sorry you're going through that! It must be scary!
How far along are you?
I’m 11+4. Just feel a mess with anxiety. No matter how many times they say that polyps bleed I just panic.
Honestly so happy I can join this thread! Just found out I am 5 weeks pregnant today after an ectopic pregnancy and a miscarriage both in lockdown - overjoyed but terrified at the same time! Already have a 3 year old. Hopefully third time lucky 
congratulations everyone! X
