I'm Currently Feeling: | In all seriousness (puts the green/pink wig down) i think they will react better than you expect, besides if you are happy then so should they be. Being a mum already you will know that you just want your kids to be happy so why should they be any different, plus they get another grandchild!
You are not going to make it easier by waiting you will still be carrying a lil bean (well a slightly bigger one)   |

I'm Currently Feeling: | They may well be shocked but that doesn't mean that they won't be happy. I think my mum was incredibly shocked when i told her. Actually took a few days for it to sink it. I know i'm not in exactly the same position as you as this is my 1st but at the end of the day we are adults and need to lead our own lives. It took me a long time to think like that. My mum had serious control issues and i only stood up to her a few years ago. Such a long story! Basically if you and your partner are happy thats all that matters. Your parents will love their grandchildren regardless. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Hey, you either tell them now or tell them later, but irregardless, whatever response they have will be the same one way or another.
Gees, you are a grown woman and you are entitled to however many kids you want. If your parents don't like it, too bad. It's your life  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Honestly, I think you should go ahead and tell your family You can try hiding it with baggy clothes, but why put off telling them any longer, sooner or later you will have to tell them. They should be happy that they are having another grand child, besides it's your baby, not theirs. You and your significant other are living your own lives and this baby is another member of your family. If they can't accept that for any reason then that is a shame.
Congrats on your bump and I hope whatever you decide to do that your family is as joyous as you are. Btw, cute bump..  |
