talked to my mom (if you care)

it went very well. she was supportive and made me feel better. She said things like "don't be depressed... i know this isn't the greatest timing, but it could be worse." and "let me know if you need ANYTHING" and things of that nature. I told her to tell my dad, but neither of them are to tell ANYONE else. And I told her I'm not ready to be happy about it yet. She said she understood, but that she was happy for me anyway.

I really love her.

    hopefully that's a little relief off of your shoulders and something else to not worry about along with other things

  • i didn't get to post earlier - so first of all congrats! i'm glad you got support from your mother, and take all the time you need to adjust to the idea of being pregnant. i'm sure i'm going to freak out when it happens even though i'll be trying..

  • She sounds like a nice mom.  You were so worried about judgement, but I bet she's secretly dying of excitement to be a grandma.

  • I didn't post earlier, but I'm glad your mom is supportive.

    There's no right or wrong way to feel about this, but we're behind you 100%.

  • hey - I'm a lurker but had to pop in 

     This was EXACTLY me when I got pg - DH and I wanted to be post 30 at least before talking about kids. I felt like my parent's would be 'disappointed' in me - I felt like I was a 16 year old kid when really I was 25 and had been married a year and a half. Just like your mom, mine was really supportive and excited about the baby once I got the nerve to tell her. (my parents were older parents as well) 

    I had days where I would just sob to my DH about being pg (he quickly learned if he got me to eat something it calmed me down, I was a mean hungry pg lady). Anyways, just wanted you to know someone else that has been there. 

    I put off telling my family/friends for a really long time, I wish I had let them know sooner, they were great.  

    Hang in there, it gets better - I love being a mom, despite the early onset :)
