Sorry to just come straight in with a problem but I need to 'talk' to someone
We have 2 DC already, aged 9 and very nearly 7. Last year I decided I would love another child and brought the subject up with hubby. He didn't really take me seriously so I wrote him a letter just after Xmas explaining how much I wanted another. He said he would seriously think about it and when I suggested coming off my pill in prep in Jan he agreed but we would use condoms still.
At the beginning of March he had made a decision, he definitely didn't want another baby. I was devastated and was in a bit of a mess at first but have kept busy this month, planning a redecoration of the house!
However, on one occasion this month we had unprotected sex and much to my shock as well as his, I got a BFP this week. We DTD at the wrong time of the month and adding to the fact that we're both over 30, I never thought in a million years I would fall pregnant.
I've spent the past few weeks getting my head around the fact that I would never have another baby but my husband is in real shock. He won't talk about anything with me. I feel so alone right now.
He's asked me not to tell anyone, he said he needs to get his head around it, but I had already told my very close friend which he seems comfortable with so long as I don't talk to anyone else. She's been great but I feel like I'm putting all my worries onto her. I wish I could tell my mum but whilst my husband is like this and the fact that he's asked me not to say then I won't.
Has anyone else had this reaction from their OH?
He was so happy the previous times but I know this was unplanned so is different circumstances. The are so many things I'm concerned about and worried and usually share everything with my husband, I just want to be able to share this with him too. I know it's very early days too.
Sorry for the long moan
