Early pregnancy keep it secret

[Scorpio8]

To all the ladies who are in early pregnancy can I ask how you all are keeping it quiet?

My Partner, Manager and two friends know at the moment. My mum doesn't know and she come to stay today and not sure how I can hide it from her.
Feeling so nauseous and can't eat. Well eating ginger biscuits surprised she not caught on.

I have my reasons for not telling her yet. But I will when I know everything okay in the scan on Friday. I am 6 weeks and very anxious.

Anyone finding it difficult keeping it quiet?

It's your choice who you tell. I know I was pretty sick in the early stages so I chose to tell people who could help or support me when I was sick I also knew these people would support me if the worst was to happen. As it was I'm 25 weeks now and things are going well. If shes come to stay with you I can imagine it's even harder to keep a secret.

She will freak out and panic probably saying things I already know.
I don't it at the moment.

There is a vomiting and diarrhea bug making the rounds tell you are have that or suspect u do.
Can your OH fake nausea symptoms as well to help cover your tracks?

Alternatively you could say you are hungover?

I kept it to only myself and DH until I had a scan at 11 weeks. I was a 'geriatric' pregnancy and wanted to ensure all was well before I announced. We were at a wedding at week 9 and my DH was drinking my wine AND his so as not to arouse suspicion in the friend group. No one twigged! He was massively hungover 😀
I never felt so was keeping a secret, rather more just keeping it private until I was ready.

If it's any help, I was absolutely convinced my mum would work it out when we stayed with her overnight last Christmas - I was about 7 weeks or so, feeling sick, not drinking etc etc. When we eventually told her a few weeks later, it turned out she had no idea at all.

Your really good.

Just she will twig but she thinks it's my fibromyalgia which cause my legs to hurt. Plus I was suffering bad constipation but didn't realize it was that I was probably pregnant.

I haven't even told my son yet so it's hard with him.
I need to just try keep it quiet a little bit longer.

I thought we'd kept it to ourselves until someone asked me when I was due 😅

Chances are, everyone you aren't telling at least has an inkling that you might be, and it won't be as much as a surprise as you think when you eventually do tell them - your DM in particular.

That's good.

I will just probably keep making it out to be my Fibromyalgia.

Update

My mum did come to stay but think she thought it was my Fibromyalgia why I was sleeping, tired. She went home but yesterday hinted there's a lot going on with my health. Still don't think she twigged lol.

Yesterday my partner told me he did tell his brothers.
He told them keep it quiet. Just can't wait until 12 weeks now to start telling some family members.

16 weeks and only me and my partner know. I’ve enjoyed nobody else knowing, wish it could continue longer but will have to tell my boss and a couple of others soon.

I really found it hard to keep it quiet between me and my partner. Especially when men don't understand something's too.
But saying that I do love that no one knows just yet. Some people can be negative.

I am 7 weeks now and I am high risk as well so want to make sure it goes well before telling anyone especially at work.

So far I only told my mom and one of my friends who happens to be a neonatal doctor.

At the beginning I was dying to tell my sister but I know she will tell everyone so she will have to wait.

It has to be your choice and it depends on how you feel and how the pregnancy goes

I am finding easier to keep quiet. Yesterday another friend called asking how I was. But managed to just say haven't been well with my condition but a lot better now.
I am still very anxious though and can't wait for the weeks to go to listen to heartbeat and 12 week scan. It's hard having to take my mind of the pregnancy.
But so glad haven't told certain family members yet or friends. You get mixed reactions don't you. When your anxious already you don't need extra stress too.
For me some may find out when baby is born unless they see me before. I never felt like this before can't wait until baby comes now lol.
I am going back to work Sunday. I definitely have a bit of a bump already. Will have to say eaten so much cakes, chocolate.
Thanks for all advice.

@Scorpio8 I feel the same, I am already stressed enough. You don’t know what people’s reactions would be. You don’t want them to start sharing Theo negative pregnancy experiences or guilt shaming you for eating the wrong food.

I felt like having an ice cream at 10 pm last night and had it 😂

Yes it exactly this.

I have got cake today and I know I need to eat fruit etc.
