Hellobee Boards

I only had a cousin ask, thank goodness (unfortunately when I was standing next to other cousins, SIL, etc). We're not too close and I didn't want to get into our trials TTC and what-not, so I lied and told them all that she wasn't planned. I didn't want to get into a long conversation about it.

I think I'm actually a bit ashamed of how long we TTC or something. I don't know why I don't shout from the rooftops that we were finally successful. At least DH and I know and appreciate our daughter even more for it.

It's even worse with the third baby. ugh.

I've been asked, and its sort of an awkward thing to answer, but in all fairness I was pretty vocal about wanting to wait for a while (although while I did want to wait awhile, I had been married 2 years when I got pregnant, and part of why I told people that was so they wouldn't ask me all the time about having babies). The worst though someone asked me if "I was okay" like I was going to be upset, um yes, I'm a grown up, I did in fact plan this, I have been married several years, I think I will be fine.

ETA: I also had a client who was youngish ask me if I was totally SHOCKED when I found out I was pregnant, I answered not really, but she just kept persisting, I finally had to explain to her that no, when you are not using protection pregnancy can happen, and when you are intentionally not using protection it normally means you are TRYING to have a baby, which takes a little of the shock factor away.

Yes by a few people but one of them was my mum!! I had told her a different TTC timeline so she wouldn't bug me. I still thought it was an odd question because oops or not what difference does a few months make if we were trying.
