Hi first post here. Blush I have just found out I'm expecting baby number two. I'm 25 and my first born is 5 just started year 1. I have polycystic ovaries and only had my copper coil taken out 26th July due to it being too low when I went for a colposcopy (everything turned out fine just the coil being a problem) I fell into the small percentage who fell pregnant on the pill with my first and now with my second again we have been using condoms as we both decided now wasn't the right time for another. (When is the right time??!!) I only found out when going to get another coil back in and the docs checking I was pregnant! They think I am around 7 weeks judging from my LMP. I have been dreading telling my family as the reaction with my first wasn't a great one. But I was 18 at the time living at home still and wasn't in a stable relationship. This time around I have my own place a stable relationship at 3 years strong and I'm older n wiser. My mum and dad are not very happy at all and have gone to the extent of saying I can't cope with one what would I be like with two? I'm heartbroken. I thought I did an excellent job at being a young mum. I have worked throughout her life constantly I took my mat leave and went back to work I provide for her I rarely rely on them for anything.. they have probably had my daughter twice to stay overnight in her life and I do not know where that comment has come from but it's ruined me. The rest of my family aunties cousins uncles and my granny are thrilled and think it's about time my daughter had a sibling. They say my parents have just flown off the handle but I'm absolutely distraught. I would never want my little girl to feel the way I'm feeling right now.. maybe it's the hormones. I guess I just want a little advice from some other mummies and how their parents took the news. Is it normal? Am I just overthinking everything? Part of me feels pure guilt even though I have done nothing wrong. I feel I have been blessed twice over now and my closest go to people can't support me. In fact it sounded more like they were pushing for me to get rid 'well what are you going to do?' I'm gonna put my bloody big girl pants on and damn well show them that I can do this.. That should of been my answer back right? I'm sorry for the massive rant on my first post!

First of all massive congratulations!!! You can so do this and i think your parents are being unfair! you're stable and standing on you're on two feet, I really don't see what the problem is? I had my first baby really young too and have recently had my second, and its so much easier second time round! I'm sure your parents will come round but in the mean time enjoy preparing for your bundle of joy!
