Hello all,
Just want some perspective on whether I'm just reallt hormonal but can't stop crying. I'm 11 weeks pregnant and really anxious about my 12 week screening next week. I have been waking up in night worrying about something going wrong, prob not helped by fact I have been feeling really unwell for about 6 weeks now and I look like shit and feel exhausted.
Anyway a while ago I confided in a friend at work that I was pg and asked her not to tell anyone. As far as I knew she hadnt. Then today a woman with form for being nasty to me who doesn't even work in my department walked up to me in front of a bunch of other people and asked when I was going on mat leave. When I looked shocked she just smirked at me and said ,sorry to bust your bubble but everyones talking about it. It then transpired that a whole bunch of people know and it was being gossiped about in the lunch room before Xmas. I was so upset I was shaking and had to go for a cry in the toilets! Now I'm even more worried about the scan And the worry about the baby is now compounded by the fact everyone will need to know if something is wrong. I know it sounds weird but I feel really violated somehow, even though I get along witj people at work and know that aside from that lady that they won't be being mean.
Am I overreacting? It hurts that they must have known it isn't common knowledge as nobody has even congratulated me but they have still continued to spread it :(
