Trying for so long, yet Rex has just turned two and she’s already pregnant enough to announce? duck off.
Try 10 years and no happy announcement still.

My daughter was 2 when her sibling arrived. No issues, and teenagers now who are very close (still fight etc). Wouldn’t have it any other way. There’s a huge age gap with me and my sister (she’s closer in age to my children than me). Children adapt so easily and I’m sure Rex will have just as many cuddles as he did before the new baby arrives. I look back at the baby years and whilst they were hard work they were filled with nothing but love (probably because they didnt back chat or moan about the WiFi!)I have a soft spot for Stacey, I can’t help it (I realise I’m going to get hate for that) so I won’t say I’m not happy for her. However, does anyone else feel a little concerned for Rex? He’s only just turned two and now has a new sibling to have to contend with. Her other two boys were older when she had Rex so they would be able to cope better. However Rex is still a toddler, is very close/attached to Stacey (as 90% of babies are to their mothers) and will now have to deal with not necessarily being #1 for his Moms attention when he/she arrives.
You can tell she loves her children, that much is clear to see, I just worry about small children (ones who’re still learning/developing) welcoming new siblings.
Probably just me though
In fairness, she made it pretty clear in her stories before the scan that she has indeed suffered a loss of pregnancy. Possibly even multiple losses…I‘ve only just seen the announcement and my first thought when I saw her in the scan room was that she should have had a trigger warning. I lost my baby 8 years ago and I dreaded scans on my last two pregnancies, they were always fine, everything went well. I just remember how upsetting it is for some of us to see a scan, it brings back the memories of being told that your baby doesn’t have a heart beat. I also know it can be upsetting for people struggling to conceive. I assume that Stacey has never lost a baby and I hope that she never has to go through that, but I think that’s why she didn’t realise how traumatic sharing the scan procedure can be.
I hope all goes well with the new baby, she is going to be even more insufferable now, but hopefully all will go well for her.
I hope you’re ok x
*edit, I skipped her stories, so didn’t know she’d lost a baby, it’s good that she’s shared that, ire awareness needs to be made of baby loss. Having said that, she still should have done a trigger warning for the scan procedure IMO.
I’ve had to skip loads of pages, so sorry if all this has been mentioned.
There's a year and a half between me and my older brother and the same between me and my younger brother.

I’m ok thank you. Just that ladies first comments really struck a cord with me. I’d just assumed now I’d got my baby the trauma of what happened before would just be erased and unfortunately ( no surprise ) that hasn’t happened. It sounds ridiculous when I write it now, but I’m a very pragmatic person, was of the attitude “ well it’s not meant to be “ and so. I just thought I’d dealt with it in my own way but now I’m not so sure.I‘ve only just seen the announcement and my first thought when I saw her in the scan room was that she should have had a trigger warning.

It's so hard. I'm sorry xxTrying for so long, yet Rex has just turned two and she’s already pregnant enough to announce? duck off.

My 3rd and 4th were 10 months apart!There's a year and a half between me and my older brother and the same between me and my younger brother. Didn't feel any less loved because we we born close together
It is and we all deal with our grief differently. I told all my close family and friends, because I wanted them to know and I think that helped me at the time, but it does change you and I think makes any pregnancy after more worrying then it would be normally.I’m ok thank you.

Staceys behaviour makes a lot of sense now. She’s seemed so out of sorts lately. It’s the weirdest feeling carrying such sadness and no one knows, outwardly you just carry on.
The Wendy house is the shag padWen did joe get chance to go near the smelly muff don’t all 3 kids sleep in there bed n wasn’t she ment to carry them to bed being pregnant n carrying a 12 year old to bed ain’t wise is it
Suppose it depends if she knew . But it didn't look like she was on the high ones.May have been mentioned ... but ... should she have been on the thing at Go Ape the other day if pregnant? I know it’s not like white knuckle rapids or owt but.. still???
