to just want someone to say congratulation

[biddysmama]

i'm 9 weeks pregnant.. i have a 9 month old baby, a 27 month old toddler and a 9 year old with aspergers... so far ive had

"you'll probably lose it anyway with thm being so close together" that gem was from my mum
"how will you cope"
"you need to stop breastfeeding" (i tandem the 2 littlies)
"if you dont stop bf you will lose the baby"
"do you think you will cope"
"do you not think it would be better for you not to have a baby yet?"
"you better get toddler into nursery"

im pretty hormonal atm, just want someone to say something positive, im starting to dread telling people :(

[Lilithmoon]

[noeyedeer]

Congratulations! I think you're a brave lady with 3 so close together!

[Onemorning]

Congratulations!

[princessglitter]

Congratulations :) I had 'you're joking' and MIL not commenting for 5 months with my 3rd. Mine are 19 months, 3 and 5.

[Terraviva]

Congratulations!! :)

[Fairenuff]

Congratulations. YANBU Those are thoughtless comments, take no notice of them. Good luck and let us know when the baby arrives.

[queenmaeve]

Congratulations! Ive heard crap like that often. Just smile and remember their comments are really about them and not you

[ChazsBrilliantAttitude]

Congratulations

[EggyAllenPoe]

congratulations!
i loved the busy-ness of having 3 in 3 years (though not twins!) - it was great.

[doodledaisy]

Congratulations, I'm very jealous, for a number of reasons we are stopping at two. You're very lucky to be having another one. I hope your pregnancy goes well and that it works out well. What do you have so far? Boys or girls? The joy of having them so close together is that they will play together. And it must be hard work having a nine year old with aspergers, but you sound like you love being a mum. Congratulations.

[AgentZigzag]

Firstly, CONGRATULATIONS

Secondly and at the disgusting things said to you.

What horrible, spiteful things to say, I'm feel so sorry for you having to hear them.

Don't dread telling people, those comments are unacceptable, and it wouldn't be fair to judge everyone on those base standards.

I think you're really lucky to have such lovely aged babies all around you

[biddysmama]

i have boy,girl,boy.. my guess atm is girl :)

[PacificDogwood]

Congratulations!

You are doing a wonderful job.

Your 2 littlies are not close together btw - perfectly reasonable age gap. And there is a bit of a gap to your oldest; what is it, people want??

Ignore, ignore, ignore all the unhelpful stoopid comments.
And of course listen to all the wise MN .

[Bohica]

Nah, whats not to congratulate!

You have a family of young childreen that will have common interests & grow up close in a loving family enviroment.

Congratulations btw [smie]

[doodledaisy]

Well whatever you have, hope it all goes well. (secretly wishes it was her that was having another).

[PogueMahone]

Congratulations!
Lovely having the younger ones close together - they'll be such good friends.

[PeopleCallMeTricky]

Congratulations! They'll never be short of someone to play with. They'll entertain themselves a lot of the time.

[elliejjtiny]

Congratulations. I got pregnant with ds3 when DS1 was nearly 4 and DS2 had just turned 2. DS1 has mild ASD and DS2 has mobility problems. I wanted to have dc3 before DS2 got too heavy for a pregnant woman to lift but people thought I was mad. Yes it's hard but it's also brilliant.

[PacificDogwood]

FWIW, I had 12 month age gap, then 4 years, then 2 years - all boys .

Just think of all the comments I got about 'needing to have another to get a girl' 'you must be soooo disappointed' 'how will you cope' 'you must be mad' etc ad nauseam. People do suffer from foot-in-mouth disease quite often when they don't know what to say...

[pissedrightoff]

CONGRATULATIONS, :)

[riomoonlight]

congratulations and bigs hugs.
All babies are blessing whenever they come.

but what i want to know is how do you have the energy for sex? does it come in tablet form and where do i get? says very tired mother of 1 10month old!

[GibberingGinger]

Congratulations!

I think people are probably a bit shocked cause your littlest one is 9 months, and they think of a newborn arriving into your current environment, but they forget that pregnancy takes a LONG time and babies/toddlers develop really quickly so your situation will be completely different when the new baby arrives. Just smile and say "well, I'm really pleased"

Congratulations again, babies are lovely, and the three youngest children will be great friends hopefully. And the oldest can relish in his "older brother" role
