negative reactions
I'm 25 and I have my own vehicle and I've lived at myhome for 2 years and I have a job. My husband just unexpectedly lost his job. Wer e not 100% financially stable bbut things could be worse. I've gotten a couple supportive reactions from people about me being pregnant but more than anything it seems like people are making me feel like this is a mistaake. Including some family. To the point were idk if I want to tell anyone else because I'm tired of crying over it. I'm happy and excited and so is my husband....what should I do?
I experienced something similar with my last one. I was 21. My husband lost his job just before we found out I was pregnant. But he went out and got the first one he could after. My mother reacted so poorly. I was heartbroken.
My mother in law said something to the effect of "accidents happen" while she wasn't trying to be awful it still was.
I dealt with it until people got used to the idea. Then once he was born.... it all melted away and there was only love,for the baby. And this time around having my third I made the announcement something like this...
"I am pregnant, we are very happy about this. If you are not. We do not care." And not one negative word since!
Don't let other's get you down. Only you and your husband are going to be the ones dealing with it... so what good do they think they're doing by saying its a bad idea? It already happened! So say that. Show them a strong,confident mama prepared for the task ahead who's not gonna let anyone bring her down! You can do it,you know you can. If even if they don't. Prove em wrong <3

Ignore the negative comments. U amd ur hubby r happy thats the main thing. At the end of the day its the two of u who created this life and the two of u who will be looking after it. U cant predict whos job is safe? Financially u may not be stable which can be a worry but main thing is u have each other to talk to. Dont confide in anyone else. Especially if u have had negative reactions from them. Focus on the people who r positive and r happy. Hope ot works out well for u. Dont loose hope. X
