How the hell am I going to tell them I'm pregnant now?

[Whydoitorturemyselflikethis]

Have NC'd but been here for a few years.

I'm pregnant, 33 weeks, second child. First child is 2, I was really young when I had them. I live at the other end of the country from my family who I see maybe every four/five months, sometimes more and sometimes less. I was with them for Christmas and hid my pregnancy. They were just so negative with DC1 and they said how angry/disappointed they'd be if I had any more DC at this age range (I nearly died first time so they were worried about me as well). Now I'm 33 weeks and still haven't told them. It's just hit me how soon I will be having another baby and none of my family know. DH's family know and are happy but I know mine won't be, and even less so given how late I've left it. How can I even tell them now? I can't sleep worrying about it. I know I have to tell them but I just don't see how

You've let this situation cast a shadow over your pregnancy and now your new born .
Seriously you need to get some perspective here. You're a grown woman with a husband and two children .
Why do these people hold such power over you ?
They can't hurt you if you don't let them.
They aren't important, what's important is your life right now , don't let anyone spoil this happy time.
Considering how miserable they have made you I wouldn't bother phoning them to be honest. They can think whatever they like .
Congratulations on the baby

I second not phoning them.

Wait for them to come to you.

In the meantime, forget them and focus on your lovely children & husband.

So what did they say?
