Hiya,
I'm pretty much an open book when it comes to life and that's how I started out in this pregnancy. We announced at 12 weeks and initially I wasn't at all concerned about talking about things or discussing details of the pregnancy. I just felt really relaxed and open minded about it all.
I'm now 27 weeks and feel the complete opposite! I don't want people giving us their opinion, I don't want anyone but my partner present at the birth, I don't want any visitors for a few weeks after the birth. I almost get annoyed when strangers notice I'm pregnant, which is stupid because my bump is very obvious. I almost can't abide conversations about the baby unless it's with my partner, my parents and my closest friends. Don't even get me started on names which initially we talked openly about but now I totally regret that.
I can't explain it but I just want to hide away and keep everything very private, which isn't like me at all normally.
Is this a 'pregnant mothers instinct' type thing? I've read similar posts to this before and wondered why women were so bothered. But now I feel the same!! Will I feel differently once the baby is born?
