You are here

Well there goes my relaxing weekend.

So, I was alerted last evening that this weekend we would be hosting the Mini-Seahag. :sick: That always comes with it's own set of challenges and obstacles.

However, now that we know we are pregnant - that will be something he will want to tell her and I am NOT ready. Can't I just enjoy it for a month or so BEFORE she and her succubus of a mother ruin it all?

But, MissE (you say) - you'll be there all weekend! Just turn the topic away from the baby and tell SO it's off limits. The reason for my concerns? ....The last time we were pregnant, we decided to tell her together...so that weekend while SO is making dinner I decide to take a nice relaxing shower... I get out of the shower and she's writing down baby names for her new sibling. :jawdrop: I didn't talk to SO for a week. He made it about THEM and excluded me from my own pregnancy. I lost some serious respect for him that day. And now, without going into entirely too much detail, they've found a significant amount of blood behind the placenta and they're worried that it has partially detached due to the pressure. I've had bleeding and cramps and I'm on extremely light duty with everything. I CAN NOT have this stress right now, I just can not. I also have to work this weekend, I'm on call Saturday and Sunday (I will be sitting at a desk).

So, would you like to take bets to me coming home with the Mini-Seahag talking to my sweet precious adorable son about "their" new sibling? I will wring SO's neck. He will never get it. My hormones are up the wall and with the high risk pregnancy, I just don't want to deal with any of it. Someone please boost my spirits or at least make me laugh. :O

We waited until the pregnancy was at 14 weeks before telling SD, simply because I didn't want the added stress. It was hard for DH, mostly because he wanted to share he excitement. You need to be very clear that the added stress that BM will create is not good for you or the baby.
