I ended up texting him a picture of the positive pregnancy results from the doctor’s office. He texted back a number of emojis including a horrified face and a smiley face. I guess that’s mixed feelings, but not all bad! I felt relief that there was a smiley in there!

Now I feel free to get excited. I wasn’t considering putting my baby for adoption. I’m just praying it’s a girl so we can put the two littlest together in a room. Maybe by the time it’s gets too crowded someone will move off to college!
 
I was afraid to tell my husband Iwas pregnant for the sixth time. I had nothing to worry about
Now you can breathe and just be pregnant.
 
Glad that you found a way to tell your husband! Of course, he’ll have mixed feelings, but that’s his child!

Congratulations to you and your family!
 
i think your proposition is very premature at this stage!

the op does’nt suggest that her husband will never accept it!

This family is not a broken one;

the OP must tell first her husband about the news of pregnancy in a direct way. Maybe in front of the therapist?
she doesn’t have to tell him at the same time she want that the baby be adopted; because she probably does’nt think that, and her husband probably not.

This solution is very of last ressort; not a first choice for a married couple.

some time, men, and even women make some time to digest and accept a pregnancy that is unplanned; but they can finally accept it, and be loving like any parents.

I was born when my mom was forty, forty-five years ago. My dad was 44.

You tell him.

When I was in nursing school two women in my class gave birth. They and their kiddos are just fine today.

You can do this - all of it. But you have to start with telling him.

Congratulations!

Perhaps you can meditate about the Visitation to put your mind at ease and to help you to continue to celebrate this wonderful news and blessing with your dh.

Both Mary and Elizabeth did not have ideal circumstances either.
