I talked to my dad on the phone tonight....and couldn't tell him.

I am too afraid to tell my family for fear of the criticism of the fact that this was an "oops" pregnancy.

I may actually wait until the Dr's appt.

Do whatever you're comfortable with. It's not like you won't tell him when the time is right. You don't need to rush it.

I think the initial shock he will get over quick and he will be very excited for you!

But when you feel the time is right

do you have to tell them its an 'oops'. Maybe it'll be easier if you tell them you wanted another baby

I really hope no one gives you a hard time because it's an "oops baby." It is still a blessing. I think you should tell them when you feel ready.

Unfortunately, people will always speculate no matter what you say to them. But you should NEVER have to justify a pregnancy to anyone. The bottom line is that you and your DH are grown, married adults. Having children is what grown married adults often do. You are truly blessed. Just think, if you have another girl, you will get good use of the clothes!!!

I was scared too, I felt the same way. DH and I were only married 6 weeks ago and found out 4 days later. I must say, do not anticipate anything. A baby is always a blessing even if it is an "oops". I am sure your dad will feel that way. But I waited until the dr. appt too. I got wonderful reactions and you will too.
