Still afraid to tell
| Wed, 02-15-2006 - 8:15pm |
I am almost 13 weeks, almost into the second trimester( depending how you count). I am still afraid to tell people (Although I imagine there is speculation on my baggy clothes and weight gain after I just lost 30 pounds!). I figured I'd feel good about it after tomorrow when I have my ob appt, but I'm afraid I'm going to jinx it or something. It's like I don't want to make a big deal because "something might happen". I'm past milestones. I know DH is getting antsy about sharing the news. Maybe part of me just doesn't want to share it? I don't know. Anyone else feel this way?

Hi Suz,
i had a really hard time telling people i was pg... then when we did... i didnt show "excitement".
I felt the same way about this pg.
Suz.....well, I was just in the same boat as you.
Hi Suz,
I feel exactly the same way. I am almost 12 weeks and still havnt really told hardly anyone. I cant seem to bring myself to do it. A couple of my friends know and my family and that is about it. I cant seem to bring myself to tell anyone else, I keep saying after the next appt I will tell everyone, and then the appt gets here and I dont feel comfortable telling....I think it is normal, we are just worried about every little thing. I would tell people when you are ready. There isnt a right or a wrong way to do this, you have to do what makes you comfortable...
HUGS!

I had a hard time telling anyone. I finally told my family at 12 weeks and told work & friends at 16 weeks. Even then, I would have waited longer if I thought I could! It is so hard for us PALs to get exicted and tell the world. Hugs and take care.

Thanks ladies, it's nice to know I'm not alone. I'm not sure how much longer we can hide it, and DH is really wanting to tell. I think I will start telling some friends next week. We had a great appt yesterday, found the heartbeats right away, that was exciting (although secretly I hoped for an u/s, too). I know risk of m/c is down quite a bit. Our parents know, and one or two other people, but that's it. I told myself, after this appt (yesterday) and now I'm thinking, maybe after the next appt...
