Ok so im petrified to tell work about pg#3....why ! Whats wrong with me !

[inbetweener]

Well as the title says I am really scared/embarresed to tell work I am expecting child number 3 and I just cant bring myself to do it.
I am 13 weeks now, had my scan last week ( which I told myself was what i waiting for )so I know that things are ticking along ok.
I have 2 dd's already aged 6 and 8 so I havent been on maternity leave since 2004 but for some reason mine is the ML that ALWAYS gets mentioned in sarcastic tones when people are griping about it. Probably becuase I had two so close together I do understand that BUT I only had 4 months with DD1 and 6 months with DD2 and thats less then some people here have had with one as they took a full year !!

Im not sure whats wrong with me. I was like it about announcing it to family too. In the end DH told everyone as he was starting to get annoyed and said he was thrilled about it and wanted to tell the world.

He has just rang me at work to remind me to tell them and I had to say i was about too

I know it needs saying. I work in a hospital and also have some antenatal appointments coming up so will need a reason for them. I jst feel ridiculous. I know they will be put out, I know they will make comments along the lines of " another one omg !!".

Can you give me some sort of boost. I need some witty retorts and to not feel so pathetic. I am happy about my new little baby so why cant I act it !!

I understand how you feel as I am also dreading telling my boss that I am pregnant with DC2 (have been back at work about a year and 3 months from DS1). However I don't think there is anything which can make it easier, we just have to grit our teeth and get on with it! They can't do anything. And your work are being WHOLLY unreasonable if they make comments (not that they should even if you had only just got back from ML and already PG!), it is ages since your last ML and you were not off for long at all so I don't see what their problem is. If they make comments along the lines you suggested I think you just have to ignore the insinuation, smile and say "Yes, we are delighted thank you" as if they were congratulating you!
