You have to remember that you are both adults now.. Thats what I done when I fell pregnant with my son.
I had my daughter when I was 17, and I had a really hard time telling my dad. Because I didnt live close by I waited until i was 6 months pregnant before I got the nerve to tell him. He wasnt happy and he came out with all these nasty remarks.. but in the end he loves my little girl to death.
This time around I was really nervous about telling him because of the reaction I had last time.. So i just outed with it.. and once again he was really nasty. So this time.. I didnt speak to him and try and explain myself to him.. I Just said " I'm an adult.. not a child and if I want to have another baby, I'll have another baby... I dont need your permission.. and until you start treating me like an adult I want nothing more to do with you." Took a couple of months as my father is stubborn, but he came around and supported me the whole way through.. and was one of the first people at the hospital the day my son was born. I'm 23 now.. with the 2 kids... and all I had to do was demand the respect I deserved. I suggest you do the same.
Good Luck

The only advice I could give you is to make sure that your partner is committed to this relationship. Even if you don't want to get engaged or married, you still need to know that he's in it for the long haul. It's really not fair to bring a child into the world in an unstable environment. I know that there's lots of really awesome single mothers out there that do a fantastic job, but I'm a big believer in children needing a mother and a father. It's a big decision to make, and not one to be taken lightly. Good luck :)

I agree that children should have a mother and a father... which obviously all of us have anyways!! My daughter has never met her father and he dosnt want to meet her either and its for the best i think!!! I really want a baby again too but my partner and myself have only been together for almost 6 months, neither of us are ready to have a baby together just yet coz there are a few things we want to do before we make that commitment!!!
I can totally understand where you are coming from tho, i know that feeling of wanting another baby!!! I think as long as you and your partner have discussed it and thought about it for a while then i say GO FOR IT!!!! just make sure you really really really want this and can handle it as a couple and as a family! Have fun!!!

we recently had a big family gathering at my house with my stepdads kids....yeah i know sounds like nothing to do with the sunject but here's the thing, two of his kids have had little girls, between them they've had three and neither are with the girls mums anymore. ken (my stepdad) has only met two of the girls but is extremely happy to be a grandfather (as he would have to be because him and my mum have me n my 10mth old son living with them) now on this particular night one of his other sons come up to him and told him that his girlfriend might be pregnant which was a really big step for his son as he knows NOONE in his family likes her (i for one was about ready to smack her when i found this out because there she was sitting in our back yard drinking her alcohol like it was water) but she started carrying on about how if she was preggers her parents would go psycho at her....i for one have never seen ken yell but i think he made the perfect point. it's your choice to have a baby, if you feel you're ready for it then your parents should be happy for you and accept AND love their grandchild! in your case you were young when you had your first but if your relationship's stable and they can see you're happy i dont see why they couldnt accept that you're ready for another child!

hi there!! yep i think the first step is to discuss the relationship and be truley honest in ur judgement of if you both work together. assess your finances next can u afford it without living off centrelink or sacrificing giving your kids everything. then if its a go, i think its all about the delivery! if u act really excited about the news, i dont think anyone would put you down, but good luck! :)

hello, well i do know who you feel. i am currently preg with number two!!! and am married to my husband for a year now! we already have a 16 month old son.. i dont have a surportive mother inlaw.. and i was worried about how she would react to.. only differece between you and me is i am TWO years YOUNGER! and my first born is only 16mths.. so you could imagin all the rections! You dont need somone to tell you your old enough to make your decisions or to tell you to make sure your "ready"... your question was does anyone have advice on how to tell??
i would say.. over the phone!! in a letter or in a txt msg... it does sound lame but thier bad reaction lives with you forever and may even upset you. so do it in a letter or msg.. where they response will be thought out and settled, they mite be annoyed but give them the chance to think (you never know! it may help) or again over the phone BUT make your bf do it.. that way anything said wont hurt you emotionaly.. No pregnant woman needs that kinda stress and even a woman trying.. if you worry so much it'll be harder to fall preg..
i say if you can do it girl hands down to you... congratulations and good luck!!
