telling your grandparents you are pregnant?
I'm almost 14 weeks pregnant and I can't seem to find a way to tell my grandparents. My parents were easy to tell but my grandma I'm a little worried about. This is our second child so I know it shouldn't be a problem but if you knew her you'd understand why. Are there any ways to tell them? we don't live close to them so it'd have to be something we could mail. i still need to tell all of my extended family so something that could work for everyone would be great.

That's funny. I waited until I was 15 weeks to tell my grandparents I was pregnant. I just couldn't muster up the courage. So I told my mom to do it for me. Of course I was in the same room, but at least the words didn't have to come out of my mouth. Grandpa cried silently (and didn't say anything) and grandma was like, Oh ok! lol, she didn't care at all and started asking a bunch of questions. I think grandpa didn't take it well cause I'm kinda like "daddy's little girl" with my grandpa and I'm only 21 and not married to my boyfriend and they are super old fashioned. But, I still go visit and go out to eat with them and nothing has changed. They support me still because they love me. So, once they get over the basic fact/shock everything should be fine!

I would just go ahead call up and tell her. I mean it's better if you tell her than send a card. I know how grandparents can be I have one that's off the wall sometimes with her comments. But I found the best way to deal with her is to just tell her and listen to her suggestions and or comments and just keep going on with your life like you noramaly do. Just think in a few months you'll have a little person to love and care for. Good luck!

If possible, have the older child call your grandparents, and tell them over the phone.
Or, take a pix of your child holding a sign "I"m gonna be a big brother/sister" and then mail.

you could always buy a bib or something that has a saying on it like worlds best grandparents and then a pair of baby booties and give it to them as a gift and let that be the way you tell them!!

Just send a letter or call saying Grandma we are expecting another precious bundle of joy. Don't worry about what she says unless she supports you. She'll probably be happy, if not she doesn't live close so I wouldn't worry about it. Good Luck!

Why don't you go and buy a box of blank greeting cards, one with a happy joyful picture on the outside, and type or write a message and put it inside each card. Maybe include copies of the ultrasound picture or new pictures of your first child.
Good Luck

have your parents tell them send a card to them saying congradulations you will be another grandparent and have the card as cute as it can be they might be excited knowing they will get another baby to shop for and help take care of

my mom told my grandma. Me and my grandma aren't that close. This is our 1st. A week later I received a gift box with a stuffed lamby doll, lotions and books. It was very nice.

Send her a card that says CONGRATULATIONS on the outside and write "you're gonna be a Gramma again" on the inside.
Follow that with a short note and some "I Love you" s.
