How do you tell your husband that you might be pregnannt when he doesnt want another child?

Question

I think i might be pregnant agian and i know my husband doesnt want another child but i dont know how to tell him. and i also dont know how to tell my parents that i might be pregnant again because when i was pregnant with my son they got very mad at me.

Answer 1

Well, if you are pregnant, it's his fault, too. Just sit him down and tell him the truth. It takes two to get pregnant. As for your parents, I wouldn't worry about them. As long as you and your husband are financially stable without their help, it's really not their issue. Just tell them straight up and explain that you would appreciate their emotional support.

Answer 2

make sure 100% that you are preggers before having a talk with him. if you are then tell him taht you are BUT CALMLY and don't sound excited until you see how he feels.

Answer 3

Dont tell him til you know for sure. If you only think you might be then you may start a fight for no reason. Test yourself first and if its positive,  then just sit down and have a heart to heart with him.

Answer 4

You didn't get pregnant by yourself.  If your husband didn't want more children, he should have taken precautions.

And your parents?  Who cares?  You're a married woman - they have no right to comment on anything in your life.

Answer 5

Wait until you know for sure.  If you are, then all I have to say--if he didn't want another baby--then he should have worn a condom....so do not feel bad.  We all know the basics....

Answer 6

I've been there, done that. I was 39, with two 1/2-grown daughters when I found out I was pregnant with our son. Neither of us wanted more children, were enjoying the freedom of no longer having small children, etc. That son is now 23 years old and neither of us can imagine a life without him.

Do what I did. When you're sure, tell hubby and wait for him to adjust to the reality. He'll probably come around in time. Abortion was never an option for us, so we had to adjust!

(P.S. what kind of grandparents would ever object to another grandchild, unless pregnancy puts your life at risk...)
