Um nothing. You plan your life and what happens with them is out of your control. She may not even get pregnant so why worry about it

How old are you?

Erm why would she? Presumably you’re an adult yourself with your own home and partner? It’s up to her if her and her partner want to ttc. Literally none of your business Confused

Our situation is slightly different as DH is the one with adult children and we are now expecting our first together. DSS and his partner told us 2 weeks ago that they are expecting number 2 together (he has an older daughter already).

We did discuss with both DSC about the fact we wanted a family between us and, as far as we can tell so far, they are both happy for us. From my point of view it’s strange we will be going through this at the same time and I’m hoping we can be a support to each other over the coming months!!

My mum got pregnant with my bother the same month I got pregnant it was weird but fun we both supported each other, my brother an daughter are now best friends it's really nice. I won't lie at first I was a bit angry I guess in a way? But soon was excited about it all it's a strange thing to happen as you expect your mum to of stopped having kids but it's not that bad you'll come round

My mum has a dd a month older than my ds, it was odd and still catches people out and they are 9..

They get on like a house on fire and I'm happy they have that relationship..

At the end of the day there is nothing you can do about it..
Unless you r going to put off TTC, you can't expect someone else to because you aren't comfortable with it.

Yes, how old are you? Maybe you should wait a bit if this bothers you.
