Hey everyone! I have my 12 week scan tomorrow for a pregnancy that we hadn't planned. It took us by surprise but we are over the shock and excited now.
My family is very complicated. I have had various arguments this year with my parents and don't know how to tell them. They live abroad so I can't tell them face to face, but not sure how to word it in a message.
My sister is also pregnant, 14 weeks, through IVF and when I told her she reacted badly and called me selfish and wanted an apology.
I'm nervous about telling my parents and the rest of my family if I get the same reaction. I just want my baby to be loved and treated as my sisters will beConfused

Ur not bloody selfish at all..
Ur sister should be pleased you get to experience this together and the babies will have each other growing up..
I'm sure she will realise she's being unreasonable eventually..
Just send ur family a pic.. say due June 18
(I think that's right as I'm 12 weeks too)
They can say what they want to say but u enjoy ur pregnancy and ur baby and don't let anyone bring u down!!
