Announcing to everybody

Hi Ladies

I'm 15 weeks tomorrow and when stood up, look about ... well a lot more than 15 weeks. I am already feeling like everything inside is pushed up. Very uncomfortable on a night.

Anyway, I told my boss at 10 weeks that I'm pregnant. I wanted to leave it a little longer but I work in a pharmacy and was getting a little paranoid about maybe people wondering why I was avoiding dispensing the cytotoxic drugs. I must have done a good job because she said nobodys has mentioned anything.

I have been hiding my ever expanding waist line with baggy clothes, but yesterday I bought some smart maternity tops and was wondering if I should take the plunge and wear them? People will instantly be able to tell and I'm scared. Not sure why I'm scared, guess it's kinda like making an announcement. I feel really stupid for feeling like this.

Do it! Embrace the bump. I am 12 weeks with my DC3 after twins, and I look enormous and was quite happy to be in maternity clothes soon as! Take the plunge

I think thats it - the thought of being the centre of attention. I love being the centre of attention with family and friends but feel really funny about it with work.

I think it might be because some people, when I first started at work, wrongly assumed I was a single mum even though I have been with dh for 9 years, married for 6 years and have dd who is 4 years old (hoping not to offend any single mums here).
