That really early 'can't tell people' phase help me from exploding.

[Archemedes]

Hey yesterday I was due a visit from AF, but I am usally 3 days early so I was a bit

took one CLB D test and its said 'Pregnant 1-2 wks' still feels surreal.

this is my first 'planned' pg.
i'm really chuffed but waaay to early to tell anypeeps.

How did you stop yourself from blabbing too early??

p.s congrats to all on here

Congratulations!!

i dont think you really need to keep quiet if you dont want to! Its great news so why wait for 3 months to share it.

I told everyone straight away with all 3 pregnancies - the first ended up a miscarriage at 11wks but i still don't regret announcing it and to be honest i'm glad i had told people as its helped explain the sadness, time off work etc.

I have no idea how some keep quiet til 3 months!

It came as a terrible shock to me when at 7 weeks my daughter had a major problem and I didn't even know she was pregnant, thankfully every thing was ok in the end , I feel that it is a great help if you have some one to confide in then you have support whatever the outcome, good luck, how exciting :)

Thankyou,

I don't think ill make a full three months aha though I'd like to
I had to keep my first one a secret for a long time 7 months roughly, I wanna be out and proud this time.
But at the same time I feel I should keep schum a bit.
Thats an interesting view sunny, I never thought about it that way.

I've told my family and close friends. Should there be a problem, I'd want their support. Congratulationsà

I told my family and close friends the day after I took the test. I'd need them if anything happened, so better they get to share some of the happiness first. I really don't get the 'don't tell' thing. If I'd tell them if anything went wrong, then I tell them straight off.

I made an agreement with DH that we wouldn't tell anyone- he's really worried something may go wrong. We agreed that if immediate family ask we would tell but anyone else we wouldn't. It's hard denying It's there as feels like jinxing it but happy to do the joint approach. Hopefully not much longer! It's helped we've been away for a while tho.

I did the same as elvislives - I actually loved having that little special secret that just DH and I knew. Quite a few people guessed but didn't ask, which I appreciated, and with my first I told my parents at about 10 weeks and my best friend at about 6 weeks. I didn't tell colleagues or wider friends for ages TBH.

I've sorta given in, I told my parents and close friends and told them its very early days so no announcement yet.

Now im worried I've jinxed it.

Congratulations! I told my DH and my mum as soon as I found out.

archemedes don't worry! I worry I kind it by denying I am. Worry worry worry.... can't wait til.... um, when? When can we stop worrying?

*jinx not kind!

We never stop worrying lol its the rules.

We've told family and very close friends as above if anything goes wrong we'll need some support. I don't think there's any such thing as jinxing it personally, what will be will be, so enjoy!!

Hi Archemedes, I'm in exactly the same situation. Had a postive test on Friday also saying 1-2 weeks. We've conceived on our first go! But I'm already exhausted, nauseous and generally feeling cack. Have got a massive family meal and party this weekend, and not sure how to brush off the "Why are you not drinking?" comments which I'm bound to get.

I'd love to be able to tell my mum, but she will literally tell every person she comes in contact with, which is not what I want at the moment. She rang me up the day after we'd started trying to tell me she'd dreamt that night that I had a baby girl. So she's either psychic or already on high alert!

I'm in two minds whether to tell my assistant head at work - we're under a lot of pressure at the moment re: exam results and I'm wondering whether I should let her know.

Congratulations!

Just beware of telling too many people, I was pg with the second a few weeks ago and I told a few friends, work and both sets of parents... then I miscarried and un telling people is just the hardest thing ever. Plus then you have the added pressure that they all wonder if and when you're going to try again, then all wonder all the time if you're pregnant. It's terribly hard.

If I'm lucky enough to get pregnant again I'm not going to tell anyone but DH, and then just wait till I'm big enough for people to guess. I never want to have to un tell anyone again. It was awful.
