For women who are TTC did you tell your family?

Just abit of background info, I have 4 children already. Im 27years. 3 of my kids are to my ex, we split about 3 years ago and I met someone else, weve been together straight after the break up. I now have my youngest child to him. We want another together but just worried about what my family will think?

I have 2 girls aged 10 & 8 and then the youngest 2 are boy which are 4 and now 2 years old.

I had my first baby at 16, with my ex. We were really young and just stayed with one another cos we didnt really know anything else... went on to have 2 more kids together.. we split up after years of beint together and were both so much better off. We have shared care for our 3 kids together), so i have them one week and then they go to their dads the next week. It works out well for us.

The only thing is my youngest boy to my current partner hes so lonely on the weeks his siblings has gone home to their dad. He walks around the home goint into their bedrooms yellint out for them. Weve also noticed his behaviour is off as well and he mucks up alot because his besties aren't here.

We got a kitten to keep him company and he adores him..

My partner and I have decided to have another. Im waiting on tbe depo shot to be out of my system (any day now) and then we will TTC. I dont know if i should let my family know or not?

I am uni student studying a bachelor of social work, my partner is a plumber. I hate judgement especially from my family which seem to be the most people who do this.

As ive got 4 already i can just imagine the negative comments i will receive from them. I dont want to fall pregnant and they all assume it was a surprise, id like to let them know that we were trying as i think itll prevent those negative comments?

What do you all think. I just dont know why other people need to comment on other families, i love children and being a mother is my whole life. We have a house two cars and finances in order. Id love it if they could happy for us.
