I'm probably going to tell my mom soon. DH wants to wait until 12 weeks to tell anyone. I told him that wasn't going to happen! I did actually already tell one of my besties who has an incompetent cervix and lost her DD at 5 or 6 mos, and then had two super complicated pregnancies after to ask how she stayed calm and relaxed while pregnant given her medical history. (She said she had a positive mantra she repeated every time she felt the panic coming and it calmed her down. Also CDs each night with pregnancy music - I think like Struth's). The best news is that we'll be 12 weeks by Thanksgiving holiday, so I won't have to come up with some random reason I'm not drinking! Already went through that last weekend with DH's cousins...pretended I ate some bad sushi and wasn't up for it, but pretty sure that only works once! Probably will tell family by 6-8 weeks, and three best friends around then too, but for the average Joe, 12 weeks. This is all assuming my bloatation device doesn't give it all away before then! My pants don't fit.
On another note...I had m/s the first couple days after I got the BFP, but feeling OK since then (which makes me nervous). Bbs are still HUGE and sore, tummy bloated, and getting dizzy spells. It's Ok to not have all the symptoms all the time, right? Things are still going OK? I'm super sensitive to hormones - I used to get nauseated to the point of getting sick if I took my BC pills within 12 hours of each other. Hoping I'm not experiencing a slow down of hormone production since I'm not getting m/s as much!
