Im pregnant with my second, me and my partner are over the moon. we have a 2 n a half yo toddler which doesn’t understand yet, but im sure will be happy as he loves to be around other children. my side of the family is happy for me as they say a child is a blessing, but we are scared to tell his side as we are not expecting the best reaction. i’m just so scared if we tell them that they say something nasty… they love our first but a second not sure if they would be happy going by what we know of em and their opinions
tell me your experiences if ever been through something similar? how should we do it? should my partner tell them alone?

What makes you think they won't be happy if they were pleased about your first? If you know why you might be able to address that. Ultimately though, their reaction has no bearing on your pregnancy. Congratulations

Congratulations on your pregnancy.

Why won’t they be pleased? You need to explain that so that we can understand the situation.

we just have a feeling there will be a bit of judgment i don’t know, probably we are overreacting and only scared on how to tell them..
