Hi, I'm currently around 4-6 weeks pregnant but I dont have the support of my husband. Hes been upset with me every since I found out. It was deffinetly a surprise to both of us, as we were happy with having only one child, now aged 6. However, since finding out I have warmed to the idea. He says I cant cope with another one and puts me down sometimes by questioning my parenting. His concerns are the large age gap, house being too small as we only have 2 bedrooms, childcare issues and financial concerns. He would rather just spoil one than scrape by with two. I think it's his lifestyle he doesnt want to spoil.
My issues are that I dont want to upset my little girl by sharing my time between her and another sibling as well as the large age gap. Will they get on or have anything in common??
Also about how my family will react. My mum is very vocal about her opinions and wasnt very supportive when she found I was pregnant the first time. I know she'll be upset with me again.
What should I do?? Anyone had a similar experience?? I know it's only very early days yet, but cant cope with everyone being upset with me.
Any advice appreciated x x x
