Our first daughter was a surprise and arrived on the day of my brother in law's wedding. This meant my SO wasn't there to be best man for his brother. They put off trying to conceive for two years after their wedding. During that time BIL told my husband not to have any more children. When
DD was 2 we started trying for another baby and got pregnant straight away. After she was born BIL AGAIN told my husband not to have anymore kids. When dd2 was one we started trying for another baby and miscarried at 8 weeks. We hadn't told anyone we were pregnant at that stage but SO let it slip to his mum who I am sure told the rest of their family. We just found out we are expecting baby number 3 but I am worried about telling my In-laws because of how my brother in law feels. He is very controlling and I know he'll tell his family we shouldn't be having another child. We are financially pretty well off and I can't think of any reason why he is so against us having kids. He and his wife are still putting off trying for children. She is 42 now and I think they don't really want children, I think they tell people they do because everyone is always asking when they're going to have kids. Has anyone had to tell family or friends that you knew wouldn't be happy you were having a baby???
