I've been married 9 years and with my husband 10 years, I have 2 older children to a previous relationship and we have 2 together aged 7 and 5, I'm 13 weeks pregnant and although this pregnancy wasn't planned but we are now happy about it my only problem Is everyone we've told so far have been really negative!! Reactions have included 'oh no what are you going to do?' 'How stupid can you be' 'you are not seriously keeping it' not one person has been positive!! Me and my husband own our home, both work and receive no support from anyone to raise our children... They all do well at school, have nice things, are well behaved and polite so it's not like we have raised tear aways or are living in poverty, yes money is tight at times but we work hard and are always trying to better ourselves for our children. I'm feeling so upset, my best friend called me selfish and no longer speaks to me, not one person had a nice thing to say and just feel like I'm going to snap if all the negative comments continue. So far I've told people close and it's made me scared to tell outsiders for fear their reaction will be worse, I feel so ashamed now and it's put a real negative spin on the pregnancy 😔 anyone else feel this way?
