Keeping Secrets

[Danielle3765]

Is anyone else struggling with keeping their pregnancy quiet?

This is our first and I am due on 24th Sept. Totally unexpected and we are overwhelmed with the unknown and desperately want to ask questions of our more experienced friends/family. I'm 8 weeks tomorrow, waiting another 4 weeks to announce seems like an eternity!

I'm 8 weeks as well. Told our families last weekend. Waiting on our friends and Facebook until St pattys day because we throw a big party every year and we know im not going to be able to keep it secret at that point! Lol

I'm almost 8 weeks with our first and I'm bursting to tell someone!  Our first dr appt is today, and hope to tell after this. My parents and a few very close friends know. Now my parents are so excited to tell their friends too! And I needed to talk and ask for support and opinions early on, so I told those I trust the most!

Tell you how God has a plan...We have been engaged since July 2014 and set our wedding date for Sept. 26 2015 then guess what we find out end of January...yes we are pregnant and due Sept. 27th 2015...go figure and now our ceremony will be pushed up while I am not showing yet...by April...Wow.

Oh and congrats! :) it is a very exciting time.

So here's my thing on this... I told people pretty much right away. The reason I did that is because God forbid if something happened, I'd have so many more people there for support and would understand why I am down or out of work for a period of time. It just made me feel better to be open about it so that if I was moody or whatever, people could appreciate what I am going through. Another thing is for example one girl lied to our coworkers for months when we all knew she was pregnant... once it came out.. people were kind of mad that she hid it and lied for so long. People just want to be happy for you! Just and suggestion. It is your choice but that's just how I feel about it  :)

I am almost 8wks. We told our mothers so that we had someone to talk to and get family history from. Our employers know, and our friends in Hawaii know. The rest of the family will get the announcement in march after the first sonogram.

I felt the same way kiley ..... no sense in something maybe happening and no one there with you to help thought it.... I was exactly seven weeks lol today im seven weeks two days lol

I am 7 weeks and everytime I talk to my family or my boyfriends family it is so hard to keep quiet! His stepdad actually thought we was visiting to tell them we were pregnant! It was so hard to just laugh it off and act like it wasn't true! My first ultrasound is March 2nd, and we are wanting to announce it that weekend at a BBQ we're hosting. I am so nervous!

I'm 9w2d and have only told one of my three sisters (she worked at a fertility clinic so I discussed hcg blood draw levels with her and such). I visited my parents last weekend and it was SO hard not to say anything! My fiance wasn't with me and he wants to be there when I tell them. Also I'm waiting until after my next ultrasound which will be at 10 weeks. On my ultrasound at 6 weeks there was a good heartbeat, I just want to be sure everything is good next week and then I can finally spread the news!

[blessedandcounting]

I'm 11 wks and haven't told anyone just me and hubby. We miscarried last yr and almost told our children that time. Luckily we didn't because they have been asking for a baby sibling so much. Even for Christmas. We have been actively trying so we are happy but nervous all the same. My kids are 11 and 7. We where going to tell then next wknd after the 12wk mark but I might wait a little longer. I haven't been around my family to much these day's which really helps in keeping the secret. Good luck to all who trying to keep hush and congrats!

We are 7 weeks and not keeping it a secret. We feel if something happens we will want our family and close friends to be there for us. We are not making it fb official but we've told our families and best friends

[hgraveley]

[Bokamoso2709]

It's hard to keep it a secret for me because I'm already showing at 7w3d.

[rina2015]

I am just over 9 weeks. Waiting until march to tell our families. Hopefully I won't be showing too much by then

[hop_a_lot]

we want to tell so badly! I'm 8w3d and were waiting until April fools day lol. FOREVER, but it will be worth it! we tried for two years and were waiting for ivf treatment when we found out we are having twins!!! how can we not wait for April fools?!

[Saralynn143]

I'm right with your on this one :( I'm 8 1/2 weeks and have no idea when I'm going to announce it.
