Congratulations and prayers.

Obviously, this baby will be special to God.

If you can get that through to the others, the rest will fall into line.

You’re a good man, Sede3!

Her doctor asked if she wanted to get rid of the baby, doubt if there are any Catholic obsetricians, anyhow she knows we are keeping the baby God willing. Will look into those medical techniques.thank you.  To the others thanks for your support, God’s will be done

What could be worse for a mother than to have her “doctor” suggest the killing of your precious child?

Be assured that there must be more suitable doctors.

Contact any agencies which offer help in difficult or unexpected pregnancies. Pregnancy Help organisations or Right to Life always have pro-life doctors on their boards or books. At least your dear wife could receive counsel or encouragement to keep spirits up in this early stage of pregnancy. She must need it in view of her own understandable anxieties, and your daughters’ negativity.

God bless you for being such a caring husband.

My wife had our 12th at age 45 and our oldest was 26 with 3 of her own. We have grandchildren who will straw-buy alcohol for their aunt.

Only grace will get you through. Providence saw fit to bless you with another child and Providence will equip you for the work ahead.

My mother was the last child in her family, born when my grandmother was pushing 40, and my mother had a niece who was several months older than her.  My mother was born being an aunt.

I don't think her niece ever bought my mother alcohol.  The niece was a major alcoholic (as well as having epilepsy) and died at a fairly young age on account of her illnesses.  My mother doesn't drink, never had any bad habits, and is now 92, you wouldn't guess a day over 75, and totally in control of her mental faculties --- if you get into a debate with her, she will win and you will lose.  Every time.  Amazing lady.

I understand the wife not being happy.  It was well-known in my family that my mother was never happy when pregnant because she always had very physically difficult pregnancies.  Only after the pregnancy ended with the delivery of another child did her unhappiness turn to joy.

What I don't understand is what the two teenage daughters have to do with anything.  Tell them to lean their place in the family and stop belly-aching.

I too can understand the mothers feelings because I have had difficult pregnancies and many miscarriages.  The emotional angst is very difficult and pregnancy takes such a toll on the body.  Trust me, there is a huge difference being pregnant in your 40’s vs 20’s, let alone 50’s.

I don’t understand either, I am taking the tough approach but the wife isn’t happy with my approach
