This would be our second child and with the first pregnancy my husband's mother said - Oh - when we told her on Mother's Day of 2000. So far everyone knows except them.

Unless you don't push your kid off on them right now, it doesn't matter what they think of your being pregnant. It's your life and your family. If you and your husband are happy about it, don't worry about anyone else. You can't live your life for someone else. Be yourself and don't worry.

You need to tell them as soon as possible regardless of their response. There are several reasons. The first, of course, is that the longer you put it off, the harder it will be. You must also tell them because it would be ten times worse if they find out from someone else. Keep in mind that no matter what their response or attitude toward you and your children may be, as long as you and your husband are happy with your situation, that is all that matters. Just tell them in a positive way. Beam when you speak about your new pregnancy. More than likely, your good attitude about it will improve the situation overall. Remember that this pregnancy is about your family, as in--you, your husband, and your children. So just keep your head up and remember why it is you are happy about it. This is coming from someone who cannot have children. I would personally want to tell the entire world if I conceived. My attitude towards your situation is enjoy being pregnant--all miracles should be enjoyed. By the way congratulations!!

Hey Mia pregnancy is not something that you need to involve anyone else in. If you feel they dissapprove for some indescribably stupid reason then you have no reason to talk to them personally. Leave them a message at a time when you know they are not home. They dont deserve a face to face, but they have to be told eventually.

It is your husband job to take care of that and not you. But if that is not an option, then just let them hug your first baby, and when they are cherishing the baby, then tell them that there is another one on the way. Don't be afraid. Unless you are depending on them, you would be concerned, otherwise, you should not.

I think you do no need to tell your parents in law that you are pregnant if you have no warm welcome when you told it for your first pregnant.They will know it if they look your stomach is getting bigger.Do not be afraid because your children is an entrusted humans to you and your husband from God Almighty.Your children should be raised by you and your husband. as a responsible parents.

Just break it to them. That is the best way. Look her dead in the eye, and say......Me and my wonderful husband has been blessed with another, baby. How does this make you feel?......Dont let her change the subject. It is good to open up once in a while.

You don't need your mother in laws approval to have a baby... so if she gets upset oh well... its wonderful that you and your husband are having another baby!

screw her! you are married and have the right to bring as many children in this world that you can afford to have. your family is your family and in your household it does not include his mother, father or anyone else for that matter. she has no right to say when, or why you should get pregnant. tell them but further more its really none of her business.

well, it's you and your husband's choice to have the second child, it's not up to them to decide whether you should have the second child or not.
