I'm 19 and a half weeks and at the stage where I have to tell people as Im showing and will be seeing them very soon. I normally work from home but have to go to office next week so told a few colleagues and will need to 'announce' on Slack in prep for being in office as seems a bit weird just to turn up like that and not say anything.
My 20 week scan is in a few days and I'm just so nervous I've made a mistake in telling people I've told so far in case anything is wrong (12 week scan and screening all ok). Everything seems OK so far and I do feel movement sometimes too but had previous losses which only a small amount of people knew about so I worry about everything and terrified of whole workplace knowing.
Pregnancy has always been something I have to hide or hush up in the past while I deal with aftermath of miscarriage and I feel so exposed at the idea of posting an announcement but at the same time it seems joyless to not acknowledge it and then walk into office with massive belly as if nothings happened.
I know I'm really overthinking but previous losses have really made me so overly cautious and worried I'll jinx it if I tell too many people.
