Therefore, the reaction of the older generation to such a statement on the part of a daughter or son can be the most unpredictable.

Unfortunately, pregnancy is not always good news for everyone. It also happens that she does not fit into the plans of the future mother or the family as a whole. How to proceed in such a case?

There are no specific methods or patterns here. But psychologists give a number of recommendations that should be taken into account. With their help, you can present your news calmly and without causing a storm of emotions from your opponent.

Pregnancy is not a life drama of universal proportions, but the most important event in the life of every woman. Even if the conception did not happen as planned, do not rush to cut from the shoulder and abandon the child, because life goes by quickly, and the dearest and closest person will always be with you.

Notifying your parents about this event is not so scary, it is important that they feel your sincerity. Don't be afraid to trust them. Their advice and support is incredibly important to you right now.

• First of all, you need to be sure that you really want to have a baby, only then will the parents believe it;
• Choose the right time to talk. Such news is not delivered in haste;
• No need to hide something from your dad and mom - be frank;
• It is necessary to prepare for the conversation in advance, think through all possible details and circumstances;
• There is no need to be afraid of anything, tune in to positive emotions;
• Parents are the closest people, so you can and should consult with them;
• You must make decisions under such circumstances in an adult way, your parents must see in them the position of an independent person who is aware of his actions;
• In no case should you show negative emotions - burst into tears, scream, throw tantrums, and even more so reproach your loved ones for something. This will only make the situation worse. The conversation should be calm, the speech should be confident;
• You can call on a reputable lawyer to help you. Let your chosen one play his role, or his mom-dad, or your other relative (grandmother, aunt, sister), who can smooth out sharp corners and in right moment steer the conversation in the right direction.

Teenage years

It is very difficult to tell parents about your pregnancy to a future mother, who herself has not yet become an adult. We're talking about teenage girls. But even here, not everything is as scary as it seems at first glance.

Naturally, the relationship between you and your parents will play the most important role in this. You should not be of the opinion that the "ancestors" will immediately begin to scold you, they will not understand your position. It is impossible to hide pregnancy, and even more so from them.

Remember the immutable truth: your parents love you very much. This is what should be dealt with in the first place.

If you get along better with your dad than with your mom, let him know, and vice versa. Mom and dad are the closest and dearest people to you, so they will always be with you, under any circumstances, and will certainly help in the fight against life's difficulties.

Serious conversation with parents

Peace, only peace! No need to give in to emotions, be as restrained as possible, because with all your appearance you must show that you are an adult independent person who is responsible for his actions and is ready to accept any reaction of his loved ones. After you announce the pregnancy, give them some time to recover from the shock. All parents want to be grandparents. Yours just needs to get used to the idea that they will have grandchildren so soon.

Ask a sister or brother for help

If your relationship with your brother or sister is very warm and trusting, you should tell them this news. You can ask them for moral support when talking with your parents.

hints

If you do not have the courage to have a serious conversation with your parents, try subtly hinting to them that you are having some difficulties. Spend a lot of time in your room, all behavior should speak of what you are experiencing. And when they notice such strange behavior, then it will be the right time to inform them that you will soon have a baby.

Note

When it is difficult to decide on a conversation, you can notify relatives about pregnancy in writing. The main idea that should be reflected in the note is your experiences and a further plan of action. When the parents read the note, it will take some time before the dialogue takes place between you, but it will be calmer.

Call your young man for a conversation

If your young man fully supports your position to keep the pregnancy and is ready to help in the future, it would be a completely rational step to invite him to a conversation with his parents. With him you will feel much more confident, because you will feel his support. It is in your interaction that the success of passing through all the difficulties associated with pregnancy in adolescence lies.

Pregnant Widow Martin Amis

"The Pregnant Widow" is the title of a new novel by British writer Martin Amis. He borrowed the image from Herzen, who said that "the departing world leaves not an heir, but a pregnant widow."

So, the tragic story of his sister (in the book she bears the name of Violet), who became one of the many victims of the turbulent 60s and 70s, is also woven into the outline of the story. Main…

My son's three-year (or more?) saga with braces is over. At the last appointment, the doctor gave him a referral to the surgeon to remove all four 8-k. According to my son (he is already “big”, he doesn’t take me to the doctors if my signature is not needed))), the doctor said that the “wisdom” teeth can move the rest of the teeth.

In fact, I have such a problem on the paternal side: I had even teeth in childhood (already permanent), eights erupted and the bottom row lined up in a checkerboard pattern. The father's son's teeth are perfectly even without any interference. And so I don’t know ... Just remove four new, healthy teeth?
Yes, I know, 8s usually deteriorate quickly and can "infect" neighboring 7s... But somehow it's a pity... And it's painful...

In general, I want to consult))) The doctor will be on vacation for two weeks, it will not be possible to clarify in the near future why he gave such a referral.

Anyway, this is not very urgent, I want to hear opinions for now))

Hello girls.
In general, I began to think about an au pair (I have recently been alone with three children). In principle, I manage to do everything, but it costs me nerves and great physical effort ... I constantly look like a driven horse .... I can forget about putting on makeup and styling my hair in the morning, I don’t have time .... and so the whole day .. .tyk dyg, tyk so. In order to make life a little easier, I think at least once a week, to find an assistant, to do some cleaning. My first problem in my head ... is that I am really ashamed to seek help around the house, since I am physically healthy and, in principle, I can do everything myself (now I do it too). My second problem is in my head .... will I be satisfied with the cleaning? After all, a stranger is unlikely to clean up as well as at home. I'm not straight clean, but I never have a mess at home .... there are no scattered toys, clothes or dust tumbleweeds)). I resisted washing the floor with a mop for a long time, because I thought (and I still think) that it was just smearing dirt from corner to corner .. but physically I just can’t wash 100 square meters with my hands .... and the children won’t give me so much time for cleaning. On the one hand, I think that it would be great to take the children and go for a walk while the house is being put in order. And on the other hand, you suddenly have to wash everything over again .... and the money is not small.
In general, these are all my cockroaches, I agree. Who has au pairs and similar cockroaches ... how did you choose, according to what criteria, a cleaning lady? How often did you have to change, if necessary?

Chatty and deliberative.
I thought that everything for me is simple and clear in this matter. Turned out not)
What is love?
How do you know if it's passion or love? Or love?
Is it possible to love two men?
You love, but you don't want, is it so?
How to understand that love has passed?
In general, everything on this topic is welcome)

Good Sunday morning!

This Thursday (which was), I was at a psychologist's consultation in kindergarten. At first I wanted to ask questions, but then I realized that, in principle, I still have a chamomile child, with my own kookies, Wishlist and pampering, of course, and tantrums (nowhere without it). After this consultation, they (the mothers who were) approached the teacher and asked how they (the children) behave in the group. And the teacher said about mine: “Of course, she’s a hooligan, where would she be without it. She’s stubborn. But she’s like that girl in the video, if they beat her, then she’ll rather lie down and lie down, loves to pity the children, those who cry.” Basically, I was happy for my daughter. But, there is a small “but”, is it right, they will beat her, and she will lie. Of course, I would not want her to beat herself and take part in fights, but I also do not want her to lie down and be beaten. Can this be fixed somehow or is it not worth it, maybe I'm worried in vain? So that let them not give up, but fight back. Now I'm worried, but life is long. Of course, in the future I plan to give it to some kind of circle so that I know the tricks (for every fireman).

Family relationships can be quite strange. A lot of people just don't get it, but this 61-year-old woman actually got pregnant...

By Masterweb

Family relationships can be quite strange. For many people, it just doesn't fit in their heads, but this 61-year-old woman actually got pregnant with her own grandson. And in this case we are not talking about illegal incest between mother and son!

It all started when Susan Casey and Bill Connell got married and started planning for a baby. Unfortunately, despite the couple's best efforts, Susan could not get pregnant.

After suffering a miscarriage and several losses of twins before birth, the desperate couple decided to resort to artificial insemination. The moment they started looking surrogate mother, Susan's mother, Christine Casey, offered them her candidacy.

Despite all the unusual situation and Christina's advanced age, this family succeeded! Bill Connell was born in 2011. We invite you to see photos of this amazing pregnancy.

Christina Casey is a truly heroic woman! For the sake of the happiness of her own daughter, she not only decided to give birth at such a mature age, but also gave birth to her own grandson! Without a doubt, she will be the most loving grandmother in the world!

Kievyan street, 16 0016 Armenia, Yerevan +374 11 233 255

A 61-year-old resident of the United States gave birth to a child who is not only her son, but also ... a grandson. The fact is that the woman helped her daughter, who for many years unsuccessfully tried to conceive a child.

Christina Casey became a surrogate mother for her daughter Sarah. Sarah and her husband are the biological parents of the baby, but the embryo was placed in the grandmother's uterus, which bore the child. When the baby was born through surgery C-section, in the delivery room, according to the doctor, there was not a single person who would not cry. “The operation itself was successful, but this birth had a very deep emotional aspect,” he admitted.

Sarah and her husband decided to have children when she was 35, but it soon turned out that the woman had stopped ovulating. After special treatment, she became pregnant, but gave birth to stillborn twins, and even later she had a miscarriage. As for Sarah's mother, she successfully gave birth to three daughters, the last of which was 30 years ago. After her retirement, the woman moved a lot, meditated, attended various circles and spent time with friends.

The birth of a child after menopause is quite rare, but thanks to new methods of artificial insemination, this is happening more and more often. At the same time, it should be borne in mind that older women may face a number of complications during pregnancy and childbirth, and experts do not advise them to become pregnant.

Over the past ten years, only in the United States, the number of births at home has increased several times. However, scientists warn that such frivolity on the part of parents can end tragically - the child may be born dead or with severe pathologies.

Home births can be dangerous for women, especially those who are having a baby for the first time. But in general, the chances that a child may suffer are negligible, and amount to 1%.
