to feel sad and a bit embarrased that my MIL's response to our 3rd pg was 'oh God no'?

We have a 1 and 2.5 yr old and it's early days with this pgcy but Dh is excited and wanted to tell the ILs so he did tonight, we did the test only tonight.

We have a hectic but fun home life. I am a sahm and hubs earns a good wage which sees us right. We are starting an extension which will see us with the space...all in all we're fine and happy. We were kinda planning it, iyswim.

When hubs told her over Skype that we had news she just said 'oh God no' as if I'd just told her I'd got cancer.

The conversation went on in this vein until hubs said we had to go. I feel like a silly kid who's just been told off! Wtf?!

It's taken the shine of the day somewhat.

That was my mum's reaction too (well a bit more subtle but basically that). And TBH it was mine as well! I didn't want or expect a third child. Got over the shock quickly enough though - so did she.

Congratulations btw!

I am infertile so recently got a puppy to satisfy my need to have something to love.

An elderly relative - when I told her - merely said "oh God, no" - exactly the same reaction to the OP's.

She has since seen me with the new much-loved addition & has eaten her words.

Enjoy your pregnancy.
