Need some advice

[workingmom6754]

How do I tell my family Im pregnant...My husband and I are both out of work  and Its not a good time for this to happen. Im worried they are going to be upset with us cuz of our current situation but we didnt plan this baby it just happened. We already have two daughters ages 7 and 10. Im worried about the age differences and We have not even told the kids yet. I just dont know what to do.

First... how far along are you? I usually wait until 10-12 weeks to tell anyone but DH in case of miscarriage.

Other than that, you just TELL them. No need to tie it up in fancy bows and ribbons since they are probably not going to be excited, except the kids. They may surprise you, though, and after the initial shock be happy for you. You just have to wait and see!

Your family may suprise you.  As for the age difference, dont worry about it.  There's 8 yrs between my sis and I.  She has kids 11 yrs apart.  My grandma had so many kids and there's  25 yrs between the oldest to youngest.

Just come out and tell them i am sure they will be understanding and help in any way they can..  I have a 8 yrs difference between my sister and myself and with my oldest and younest son...  They do just fine...

I wrote my mom a letter and included the first sonagram picture. I was young and afraid to tell her in person. I also thought that she would like to have the picture. People told me to put it in a mothers day card but since I wasnt sure how she would react I didnt want to risk wrecking a mothers day.
