We just found out we are 7 weeks pregnant and dont know how to tell people considering this will be our fourth. And some people will just think its not a good thing. I want a creative way to tell people without just coming out and saying it. We are having dinner with his mom tonite and his family on sunday.

Either wear a shirt that says baby on bored! Or let your other kids all wear a shirt that says I am goona be a big (brother or sister) which ever they are again! Make sure it says again and see how long it takes for everyone to notice. You can go buy cheap t-shirts at wal-mart or something and then in the craft part of the store they have Iron on letters for like a dollar and chance a pack just get one pack per shirt and iron them on.

We are expecting our 5th. We announced this one by e-mail letting everyone know that we chose to tell them that way because we are excited and it is very important that we and our children only hear positive feedback. It worked, only a couple of people made rude comments, but they didn't even have sense enough to know that they were being rude. Not everyone sees babies as a blessing. With my 4th, I just blurted it out.
Just make sure they see that you are excited about it and don't see your nervousness about telling them. This is a wonderful thing and you should not have to be worried about what anyone other than yourself, your husband and your children think.
I did get asked the other night if we knew what caused it. My response was "we think so but we're still testing our theory". He didn't know what to say...his wife laughed.
Oh yea, CONGRATS!

Let one of your other kids break the news. Let them tell everyone how excited they are that Mommy has a little brother or sister for them, and soon they'll be able to play with them. If they give you crazy looks, direct the conversation back to the kid who's telling the news (what do you think will be a good name for your new baby, etc). No one has a right to tell you how many kids to have, unless you're having more kids than you can support (if they are taking care of your kids, then I don't blame them for being upset), But if you can financially, and emotionally support 4 kids, then to hell with everybody else. More kids to take care of you when you're old. Congratulations & Good Luck!!!

Well the important thing is how do YOU feel about it? From the sound of it, your a little ashamed! Your going to have to just tell them, it's not like they're not going to notice eventually.
If you and your husband are supporting yourselves and your children, and your both happy about it, then everyone else will get over it.
Don't stress yourself out over it, people will think what they think no matter what you say or how you say it.

I would make up a card using thumb prints - you, dad, the three you already have and add one more - make faces on them and add the names and put a question mark on number 4. The family will enjoy figuring out you are saying and enjoy the unexpected excitement!! Congrats!!!

I am 7 weeks along too...but with my second. My son is only 15 months so I was scared to tell my mom. But then I realized that I am married and financially stable so why am I scared? Don't worry about people's reactions. To tell my parents and in-laws, I went to the M&M website (http://www.mymms.com/customprint/index.asp?sc_cid=DR_SP03) that allows you to put your own message on the M&M's...We had baby blue and baby pink M&M's that said "Expectin No. 2!" on them.. and we gave them to my parents and sent some to my husband's parents. They got a kick out of it!

That is silly..you come out proud and just say it...the more you come out thinking people will look down on you ...your are already proving them right. Who cares what other people think.

If your married and already have kids.. what so hard about telling them. Just tell them you are expecting.

Its your life, why not just wait until nature take its course, your stomach gets bigger and people ask, then you can tell.
