I am currently 20 weeks pregnant with a little boy. This makes my second child, first son. I am a month or so from getting my own apartment. Problem is I am afraid that if I come out about my pregnancy that I will be kicked out of my home. This fact is killing me because I am sooooo excited about this little bundle and I am having to hide it. This is causing sooo much depression in my life adding to preexisting bipolar disorder. How do I tell the people I am living with and convince them not to kick me out?

First, welcome & congratulations!
Second, I couldn't imagine anyone kick someone out just because their pregnant..... are there conditions of your living arrangements that would cause this to be against them? I could see how that would be incredibly stressful if so!
I don't really have any advice since I don't know the specifics but I do hope you can get everything worked out soon!

Congratulations on your additional blessing! Babies are gifts from God, I can't imagine anyone would want to make life more difficult for a pregnant mother. If anything, they will be or should be more helpful. Are you getting weird vibes from the current landlord? Are you able to give us more detail about your living arrangement?

Thank you! I am very excited.
Well I live with my mother and step father. My mother is okay with me being pregnant again and is actually happy for me. I am hiding it from my step dad who will yell about 1 little hair being in the shower. He is definitely not nice and tried kicking me out when my daughter was almost 5 months old because I didn't take down the Christmas tree within the hour that he wanted me to. Granted I had been working on it the entire time but the lights on it were all tangled so it took longer. He is not an understanding individual. He yells at me for having my daughter despite the fact that he knows the sex was not voluntary. I can only imagine what would happen if he knew about this one.
I marry my sons father in November and we have been together since February 2012 and were high school sweethearts. So its not like I don't have things figured out. This pregnancy was not in the plans at all. I was on the same pill as some of my other friends and we must have gotten a bad batch because we are all pregnant and due within days of each other.
Idk. I just want to be able to be publicly happy about having a son.

@littleblessings: Welcome and congrats!
I am so sorry you are in this situation. Seems the best thing for you is to move away from that horrible man. For me, I would announce it with pride and tell him to shove it but I understand that does not help anything at all. I hope you can get it worked out and be happy with yourself and your upcoming bundle of joy.

Feel free to share here. We'll be excited with/for you. Congrats!

Thank you guys.
Well I ran into some hiccups last night. I'm pretty sure if my step dad is smart he will put two and two together. My mom grabbed up a sign saying 'It's a boy' a week ago and left it in her van. My step dad found it and then later that night he poked my stomach saying, "spare tire". I'm super scared of what his reaction will be if he figures it out but I guess God would never throw me something that I cannot handle.
On the upside: I have an interview for a three bedroom apartment on Tuesday. I hope that God will help me get through the wait list fast. Prayers would be appreciated.

Why don't you move in with your son's father?
-
He lives with his parents and they won't let me move in.

Yikes, sorry to hear you're having such a rough time and can't fully enjoy being (openly) pregnant!
Can I ask how old you are? Your stepdad sounds a little crazy, does your mom agree with how he treats/talks to you?
Also, congrats on getting married soon! Only a few weeks away!

I am 21 almost 22. I think he seriously is crazy and I think my mom is afraid of him. She never stands up for me or anything.
