I just found out im pregant, im happy and my husband is. I thought I mightn't be able to have another baby so this is a miracle to me. My news of having another baby is darkened by my own mother who is not happy about it. Im married Im almost 26 and I have another little girl and my mom is not happy, its not like im a teenager. Im just really upset right now, how can she not be happy. All I get is your sick, you should have waited. I cant tell anyone about my mom not being happy because they will get mad at her and I dont want that. What can I do?

So happy to hear your good news!

Mothers!!!!! Sometimes, when we cannot love them, we just have to tolerate them :rolleyes: I/m not sure how well you are feeling right now, but if you feel you can cope with another baby, I am sure you can. It's not like you are heading into an unknown experience. I am sure once the baby arrives and she sees all is well she will come around.

Do be sure to maintain good nutrition for the baby if you have not aleady cured all nutritional deficiencies. :)

Congrats!!! And I know about the moms...I had a late miscarriage which has really contributed to my depression lately, and all my mom could say was "Thank God"..I'm sure you're a great mom, and your little girl would probably love a sibling :) I'm happy for you and your husband, and don't let people get you down about it!

Congratulations! Once your mom sees that you are doing well with this pregnancy, she will come around. I'm assuming you don't expect her to be your daycare or help financially. Just normal Grandma stuff. :P

Congratulations!

As long as you and hubby are happy about having another baby, that is all that matters. It is your life, not your mothers.

My son and his wife have three children and plan on having more. My thought is that they should have stopped with two. I would never tell them that. It is their lives and they get to choose the size of their family. And yes, I love my new little granddaughter just as much as I love her older brother and sister.

I agree that once she sets eyes on your baby, she'll fall in with him or her. How could she not?

Congratulations! What a great surprise!

I had no idea that mothers could be so mean to their adult children. My Mom died when I was 14 so I don't get to experience the bad or the good. I hope that there is some good. :)

Congratulations!!

Try to interpret your mom's comments as "I love you and I'm worried about you". You are her baby, and she wants you to be healthy and happy.

Congratulations! What wonderful news!

I have a mother that says the same thing and thinks I'm trying to kill myself with every baby I have..even though the pregnancies are healthy and I was healthy. LIke the previous poster said, she is concerned about you and loves you because you are her baby. Hold off for awhile about discussing details, as much as you would love to tell your mom all about it. Give her time to adjust and I'm sure when she sees the baby she will be happy for you again.

congratulations!

My mother had the same attitude when we started trying 10 years ago. For her, the reaction was worry about our financial stability at the time. You are fortunate to have this baby now and that the two kids will be close together in age. Remind yourself that yes your mom loves you even though she can say stupid things sometimes. Take good care of yourself and eat LOTS.

PS. I just found out I'm expecting for the first time about a week and a half ago, so we are probably due about the same time. I figure March 6th for me.

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed...

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them.

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The...

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
