I'm 10 weeks pregnant for the first time and have first scan in a couple of weeks. So far only 3 people know. I feel like if the the scan is ok then that's when you start telling everyone and I would like to. I look pregnant already and have noticed people looking at my belly at work and I'm sick of avoiding friends that don't know.
However, at age 37 I feel I have to have the test for downs syndrome etc (which I'm terrified about)and am told this can't happen til 16 weeks. I don't want to be pessimistic but I cant face saying anything until I've been through all that, but at the same time don't know if I can keep this up for another 6 weeks!!
What do other people do about this?
