I already have four kids...and I'm pregnant again! I'm 19 (and married for your info). I don't know how to tell my husband...he's 20. We already have our hands full with four year old triplets and a two year old...how do I break it to him? Adoption and abortion are NOT an option. How do I tell him?
Also....which name do you like best:
Girls:
Dallas Penelope
or
Zoey Annika
Boys:
Dayton Blaze
or
Bristol William
I already have four kids named:
Noelle Elizabeth
Pierce Henry
Lillianna Renee

After the triplets, we were kicked out of the house and there was no way to get birth control, and we don't believe in it. We're Catholic...it's against the Catholic religion. Yes, I know, you're thinking "Well if you really did follow the Catholic religion that seriously you wouldn't have all those kids." Well I made a few mistakes when I was younger and I realized that I wanted my kids to be raised the way I wasn't.

The question about my period was my friend. I let her use my account.

I'm not exactly afraid to tell him in person...it's just his reaction...

First of all, I am Catholic too...so I can respect your position. I think it's awesome you are a young mom, you'll see that later on...
As for this pregnancy, your husband knew his actions could come back to him, after all, he's got 4 kids already. Don't approach this like it's your fault, it's NOT. Do it with a sense of humor. Tell him you believe the stork has left another package.
After this baby, please be more careful... you are obviously Fertile Myrtle. The Catholic church doesn't endorse artificial birth control, but there is still natural family planning as an option.
As for the girl name, after reading your other names I think Zoey Annika fits perfectly. The boy names still need some work :)
Good luck and congratulations!!!

Just tell him. There is no way around it. WOW 19 with 4 kids and another on the way. My heart goes out to you. I know how hard 2 kids were, I can only imagine 4 going on 5. Zoey is pretty, but it needs to flow so whe she is in trouble you don't get a tongue twister. Zoey Ann, Zoey Lee, Annika Penelope (mouthful lol) Dayton William sounds nice together. Good LUCK!

This is no joke, when he gets home you have dinner all warm and ready; you know the drill fill up his tummy soothe the savage beast; I don't picture him being that savage; you of course know better than me. After the kids are in bed telling him as gently as possible. I would never think of telling someone to adopt out or get an abortion; it's not my business
By the way Layla is a cool name means as intoxicating at wine according to babynamenetwork.com That's my name I just spell mine with an "e" as in Laela.
So once you tell him you can rest easy. A muffin in the oven and don't feel bad about it ; I don't see you feeling bad about it. I have five of my own. Dear me almost forgot Zoey Annika and Bristol William.

I understand the problem with contraception. You need a basal body temp thermometer...it'll tell you when you're ovulating, i.e. bad times to have sex.
You are going to have your hands full, but you're definite on keeping the baby, so you'll have to tell your husband sometime! He's going to figure it out.
The triplets will be five, an age where they can help you out and feel pretty big about it. Just tell him! "Ready for another one?"
And go with Dallas for a boy or a girl. My man's name is Dallas. His middle name is Gene. It's a great name to yell.
By the way, I love your other names. Noelle especially. That's really pretty.
Good luck!!!

I am 21 with five kids. A 4-year-old, a 3-year-old, and 1-year-old, and twin 1-month-olds. The best way is to just say it and then tell him it is his fault as much as yours because he should have kept his hands off of you until you could afford birth control. If I was you right now I would just hope that it wasn't twins or triplets. But about the names, i like Zoe and Dayton.

Dear multiples-mama,
My best advice, is tell him straight out, with a pregnancy test or a letter from your doctor. Most importantly, go get an IUD, as soon as possible. It doesnt hurt and it lastrs, and you wont be in the position again inthe future. Having so many kids at such a young age, is no good for you, your body, your husband, your social and professional lives and ofcourse your FINANCIAL situation. I know passion leads its own path, but as a mama of four you need to be responsible and take the proper actions to insure your babies futures are happy and secure. All the best of luck, call with any questions 1877-MY-DOULA

Wow. You do have your hands full. I assume he knew you were having sex...so I guess you will just have to tell him straight up. If you two don't want any more children, there are a number of ways to prevent it after this one is born.
I like Zoe Annika or Annika Zoe for a girl and Dayton for the boy.
I wish you the best. Bless your heart.

Break it to him nicely.
Or don't tell him until you are six or seven months pregnant and if he asks about your sudden weight gain just say you have been really hungry from stress or something
When you do tell him, do it after confession because then he will feel guilty about the making a bad reaction.
Girls:
Dallas Penelope (or Ryan instead of Dallas, she will really love it when she's older)
Boys:
Dayton Blaze (or Payton)

Just do it & get it over with. I mean, is there really an easy way to tell him "Honey I'm pregnant with child #5"? I would just say, I'm pregnant now lets deal with it.
I like Annika Dallas for a girl
I like Dayton Blaze for a boy

I like Dayton Blaze and Zoey Annika, but you shouldn't think of names when you haven't even told your husband yet. If you are way to afraid of telling him in person, which you shouldn't be, he is your husband, send him an e card from hallmark or something.
p.s
you should be in very good shape if you already have 4 kids and your only 19!!!!!!!
