Pregnant Again and Scared!

We have an almost 6 month old and just took a home test to find out we are pregnant again. We were not even planning on trying until the end of this year for another child. My husband doesn't want to tell anyone. He says it's because he didn't think we were ready for another child yet. I just keep telling him, maybe it wasn't in our plans but someone must think we are ready or he wouldn't have let it happen right? Does anyone have any suggestions? I am excited but afraid to show it because my husband doesn't seem to be. And I'm nervous about what our families will say when they find out. Please help!

What can I do next?

Hi! First of all Congratulations! I know it seems early but sometimes things are supposed to happen when they happen. I am a firm believer in that. As for your husband, he is in shock and will probably come around. If you are excited show it! You have to let your husband feel what he feels, he is the only one that can change how he feels. Maybe if you start showing your excitement he will loose his sourpuss. Hey, its worth a try. We didn't tell our family we were pregnant until after the first OB appointment, therefore we were comfortable with the idea of a new baby. As for your families, don't worry about what they will say because ultimately they have no say in how your little family grows. Hopefully they will be supportive but if they are not then it is time to find a mommies group that will support you! Take Care.

Hey Kim,
Congradulations, what a blessing!
I had the same problem when I had my son. I had gotten pregnant withmy daughter when he was just 4 months old. I have to say that my kids are close, like twins. Although they still have a bit of sibling rivalry they wouldn't know what to do without each other. Why don't you remind your husband how ready you both were with your first child and here six months later you are both doing well. He may be a little nervous but it is nothing to be afraid of. My husband had actually left me while I was preggnant with my daughter, so I did it all by myself, and still am to this day. If I can do it alone, you can both do it together. I'll will keep you in my prayers and wish you the best. You seem like a strong woman and that can be the factor to help your husband come around.

Take Care,
M.

Hi K.,
Congratulations!! I know it seems scary, my son was 7mos when I found out that i was pregnant again. I freaked out cause I felt like I hadnt had the time with him that I wanted before the new baby was born, but now they are 2 yrs and 3yrs and they are really close. If I had known that I was going to have them close together I would have done it even closer. But it is hard at first when they are both babies and want your attention at the same time but it gets easier. And for your family I was the same way. Iwas afraid that they would say things and they did at first but then they eventually supported us. And now of course they love both of there grandchilren. i hope that your husband comes around and Im sure he will, hes just freaked out right now. I hope all goes good for your family. I also live in Oceanside and we are military so if you want to talk sometime just send me a message.
