What's your secret that you are excited about?

My younger sister and I are very, very close. Especially as we were in and out of foster care so don't have much of a relationship with any other family.
She has just told me she is pregnant. It is very early days so they aren't telling anyone else yet.
I am a mixture of ridiculously excited for them but also slightly terrified of things going wrong. I had miscarriages and a stillborn before my children.
So that is my secret. Every day os a step closer to 12 weeks and past the danger zone.
I respect their wishes not to tell others but hate that women are sort of expected to keep it secret to begin with. That is when I felt the worst during pregnancy but had to try and pretend I was totally fine. With a couple of pregnancies I was so sick so often that it wasn't a secret at work after about 8 weeks!

No one is forcing your sister to keep her pregnancy a secret, though. She told you, after all! I told no one other than DH and my line manager till I was 19 weeks, for various reasons. The whole world knowing wouldn’t have helped with the nausea.

Im excited about the novel I’m writing.
