Hey ladies, I'm having a really hard time. I gave birth to a baby boy a year and a half ago. When I found out I was pregnant with him my boyfriend and I had just recently broken up. So I feel like my family wasnt sure how to react to the news that I was pregnant. It all just felt very forced when they would congratulate me or even mention the upcoming birth. You could just feel the awkwardness behind their fake smiles. Eventually my ex and I worked through our issues and we rekindled are relationship shortly after the birth of our son. We are now currently engaged and in a really good place.

Now, I just recently found out that I'm pregnant again. My family again just doesnt seem too welcoming of the idea. The only thing they say is, "well, you're gonna have your hands full," or, "wow, you're going to have two in diapers." No one has said congratulations or asked how far along I am or when I'm due. I dont know if I'm just being emotional but I just wanted my family to be happy or excited for me and us. It makes me feel like no one is happy or cares about the baby and it's really taking away from my excitement and joy 😕
