I'm 8 weeks pregnant and I'm yet to tell anyone, including parents. I'm very close to my family. It's a second baby, and I think I told my parents when I was about six weeks first time round. I'm not naive to why it's standard to tell most people until 12 weeks but at the same time I'm not overly anxious.
I wasn't overly bothered that I wasn't ready to tell anyone, but I just found out DH told his parents about three weeks ago and didn't tell me. My parents and DH parents do cross paths, so it would be sensible for me to tell my parents so that they don't find out an alternative way, but I can't bring myself to.
I've got a lot of feelings I can't unpick and they all largely feel irrational. I feel betrayed by DH, I don't mind him telling them but why lie to me! Something is making me feel really nervous about people knowing.
I can't help but think there is something wrong with me for not wanting to share this happy news with my parents. I know it's my choice when to tell people, but I can't work out why I don't want to. Was hoping someone might care to psychoanalyse to help me get to the root of why...
