Hi, I've just found out I'm pregnant, 1-2 weeks on Clear Blue Test (4 of them cos I didn't believe the first )

My husband and I have 2 girls and said no more, been trying to get him to have a vasectomy. I had pre-eclampsia in both pregnancies. My Dh is at work then on a night out so won't be home til late so I've got to figure out how to tell him and not sure how he'll react. I don't really know how I feel about it but don't think I could go through an abortion.. Any advice is most appreciated and welcome

Those with 3 how do you work it? Finances, child care etc? Thank you for reading!

I told dp via text so he could process it before seeing me Blush

Better than when I told him he was getting the snip Wink
I'm still in shock tbh, no idea what kids are gonna think.
How far along are you? Do you have a plan to tell dp? Smile

Haha Grin my husband was refusing the snip because it would be too sore Hmm

Aw I'm sure they will be happy when they get over the shock. My two are baby daft so will probably be fine!

No idea how to tell him... Might just leave the test in the kitchen for him coming home!

I'm due to have c section on Wednesday for 3rd shock baby.
My others are 14 years and 18 months.

Our 18 month old we were just about the start IVF when we fell naturally so he was little Miracle, so we had our wedding booked for this June abroad, 42 of us going out , amazing dress of dreams etc when I found out in feb I was pregnant!
We really hadn't expected we would ever fall pregnant naturally again as it was against all odds we had our boy last year. Husband didn't take that well to be fair in beginning and I threatened no wedding in early days! Wedding went ahead at 22 weeks, was boiling and uncomfortable but dress luckily still fit perfect and didn't look pregnant at all and husband now very sorry for his intial reaction!

I had only just gone back to work 3 days a week in March after a years maternity, so it was shock for them too although they were fantastic.
I will take another year off and my mum and mother in law will be having both like before for the 3 days I work which is amazing Not having to pay childcare.
I never planned on going back after my little boy but really enjoy that time doing something for myself.

I am still contemplating getting sterilised when I have c section, have to decide for definite by my pre op appointment on Monday. Although i definitely don't want 4 children ( and getting too old to have more) it also seems so final so husband can get snip otherwise.

I am Wondering how I will ever get ready and out door again but after a few weeks it all usually comes together as you all get in routine.
Congratulations x xx
