Silly Question....

[Mervs Mum]

Girls.

Is anyone finding it incredibly difficult not to shout it from the roof tops?!!!?

I really want to tell everyone my news but I feel like I should wait for a while longer. My parents, daughter, MIL, sister and 2 best friends know but I still want to tell everyone I know!!!!!!

When I was preg with DD I think I managed until about 9 weeks......5 WEEKS MORE AT LEAST.....
AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!

 

[Snowball]

I know what you mean. I'm still keeping quiet with my family and it's been really difficult. I still don't know when I'm going to tell

 

[bluebell]

I've told close family and a few friends but like you am waiting for a while until I tell everyone I know!! It's so hard to keep quiet as I literally have a one track mind at the mo...if I'm not talking to OH about it, I'm thinking about it or searching endlessly on the web at baby shop websites!!

I can't wait till I'm at the stage that I can just talk openly about it and stop worrying so much that bubba won't stick.

At least I've found this forum, it's great to be able to talk openly on here

It is hard to keep it quiet that first little bit. Of course it didn't matter in my case my mom told everyone she ran into

It's terrible!

And it gets worse the closer you get to the date.

We're going to finally announce it to the world when I hit 11 weeks which is on Wednesday.
We're just waiting till our follow up scan tomorrow afternoon then we'll tell.

It's so frustrating. It's 2 days but it seems like an eternity.

I found it very hard, especially the first week OH wanted to keep it between the two of us and I was lieing to friends when they asked if I'd tested, I just wanted to scream it out lol.

It feels good now my parents and OH parents know, also sisters and close friends, thats it for now, but only 2 more weeks til the scan and im gonig to tell all my family and probably work too as I need to get a risk assesment done xxx

I remember bugging you in the TTC board to see if you'd tested!!!
I've had to tell my boss as they were wanting to offer me a new job and there were implications. I think I'll need to tell work fairly soon - I work in a high school and one of the occupational hazards o my school is sometimes dealing with challenging behaviour. Yelling at the top of my voice to get the attention of upto 400 kids is bound to raise stress levels - the day after my test I had to do just this and kept thinking 'be calm.....' while my staff looked on thinking I had been abducted by aliens!!! Not my usual approach for getting the attention of hundreds of chatting 15 yr olds!!!
There is also lifting of heavy boxes of exam papers involved which I'm not prepared to risk but I do have the help of two close colleagues who know the score.
I know you should never wish away time but I'm finding I have been for a few days!

lol i was avoiding the forum becuase everyone knew I was testing and I find it so hard lieing and didnt want to pretend it was a BFN incase that was tempting fate sort of thing!

I work in a restaurant and have to carry plates ect and it gets very stressful on a busy night when Im running around and customers are demanding things from me, we have to drag these heavy plants in at the end of the night and I've been saying I have a bad back and dont want to make it worse by carrying them, people must think I just cant be bothered and its a cop out lol.

wow your brave working in a high school! at least your maternity leave will be extended by the summer hols!

I know exactly what you mean! I told everyone in December, and then had to tell them all the bad news in Jan, so this time I've kept it to the in laws and my sister. I'll have to tell my gym instructors, but I'm trying trying trying not to say anything to anyone else. Soooo glad to be able to shout it from the rooftops on this forum! Thanks for all the support girls!

 

[poppy]

Good luck MM - not long till 9 weeks if you are going to tell then!

Bless

That is lovely Mervs Mum

Only a few more weeks to go!!!

 

[NIKKIBABE]

I'm the exact same. This is the first time I've known im pregnant as other pregancies were onlydiscovered after m/c. i want to tell everyone but am a wee bit scared incase its too soon.We've told both sets of parents but thats it. I really want to tel pals and work colleagues but going to try and hold out till 13 weeks. Only 7 weeks to go then ! better order the gag just now as I cannnot keep secrets. I think that evry1 will know soon as I'm now ciggie free for 2 months,no alcyhol and no caffiene - its only a matter of time !!
LOL XXXXXXXX

 

[charlie07]

I've told all of you!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, I am with you on this. I want to scream it so the whole world can know. I spoke to my mum yesterday and wanted to tell her but other half said no!!! In fact he does not seem excited at all, if I speak about something to do with being pregnant he just says oh!!! In his defence, he's worried about mc again, he doesn't want me to go through that, I think he's not getting his hopes up. Doesn't help me though!!

How can I not tell my mum?????? She's my mum!!!!! If I tell her now, then she can't tell anyone and that would make her crazy!!! She would then probably be on the phone every night asking how I am, am I eating well, am I resting, etc etc and I think with it being the same time as year as mc last year, I can do without the pressure and hassle. I need to hold out at least another 4 1/2 weeks .................................. AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

 

[sandy28]

I know how you are feeling. i want to tell the whole world but i have to wait.
Are babys will be due around the same time, how cute.

 

[the_hug]

I want to scream it from the roof tops, but just don't want to tempt fate. Will probably tell close friends and family in March then everyone else after the first scan. xxx
