Anyone still nervous to tell people?

htn1763

This might be more of a PGAL thing, but it is still really scaring me to tell people I am pregnant. This past weekend we were at a wedding so I decided it was a good time to tell a few of our good friends. My MIL also told her brothers and sisters. For some reason it is just really hard for me to tell people! I am still so worried that something could happen. I wish I could relax a little.

It doesn't help that last week I started bleeding and was diagnosed with a complete placenta previa. I guess I can expect more bleeding and spotting until it moves (hopefully). Fun times.

Yes, we're 18 weeks and I'm still nervous to announce on FB.

I'm almost 18 weeks and plan to announce at work after my anatomy scan in two weeks. Even though most people outside of work know by now, just the thought of being completely public still gives me a mild panic attack.

Yes, our extended family and the rest of the world doesn't know yet (aka FB).  I did announce at work, but by announce I mean I told a couple friends and hope the word will spread.  But I still get nervous if a situation arises where I may have to say something about it to someone that I am not sure knows.

We're waiting until after our loss milestone, which is 22 weeks 2 days to tell the world.  Kinda silly because at this point if the worse were to happen, it's not like people won't know, but we just feel better waiting until after.

Haven't announced it either.  I'm a nervous nelly.  If people see me, it's quite obvious I'm pregnant, but I'm waiting till after the 20 week anatomy scan.

Yes I am almost 17 weeks and it is still hard for me to tell anyone. I had a very early loss (about 5 weeks), but I still can't bring myself to tell people we're pregnant especially not fb wise. Hoping this gets better and easier for all of us!

Yes, same here. We have only told close friends and family. We won't make it "facebook official" until after our a/s. I'm always worried something will happen.

I'm 17w today and finally decided to post 2 days ago. And I had to take a deep breath. 

Sorry about the placenta previa and bleeding you're having! Hope that improves soon!

We have told family, friends and co-workers yet every time I tell someone new, I have a momentary panic of "maybe I shouldn't have done that."  I imagine I will start to feel more confident when I'm showing more? That's what I tell myself at least

We have only told parents and siblings, but are sloooowly telling a few friends who either have in the past or are currently struggling with infertility. I am terrified to tell other people.

We actually saw my aunt and uncle at a festival yesterday and didn't say a word. Thank goodness I was carrying my niece to hide my maternity shirt lol.

I'm not looking forward to all the attention a pregnancy announcement comes with, and I'm also really protective of our personal timeline on when the news gets out since it took us so long to even get pregnant.

yes and no....it's my first and both DH and I are super excited and want to tell the world, but at the same time there's always that what-if-something-went-wrong factor. I've decided to just put that out of my mind and focus on the good (13 wks, so I think it's approx. 98-99% of pregnancies go ok from here on out!!)  I was nervous to tell work but I told them on Friday with the help of a chocolate cake I made...they were amazingly happy and supportive! also made it FB official Saturday.

I hope you feel better soon and are able to relax!

I'm slowly feeling better about this. I told family pretty quickly, because they knew about our loss and subsequent infertility, and I wanted them cheering us on. I didn't tell most friends until about 12 weeks, and I've just now been slooooollly telling coworkers. I've been saying I'm ready to post on FB, but keep waiting to take a cute picture... I think I'm subconsciously (or not) putting it off because that's when every random person I know will be in on it! If nothing else, our next regular appt is 10/8, so I'm going to push myself to go fully public after that. I like talking about it with people, and feel pretty confident at this point, so it'll feel good to just get that last bit over with!

I am right there with you, I feel like every time I get close to telling something happens, first the vanishing twin, then they couldn't get good measurements with the NT scan, then the numbers weren't coming through, then this weekend I woke up bleeding and rushed to the ER, just to find everything is OK and its just part of the vanishing twin.

I am terrified. I am just so thankful that my doctor knows my anxiety issues and says if I freak out again to call in and she will do the Doppler for me so I can hear the heartbeat. I haven't used that yet, other than scheduled appointments, cause I already feel like a nutcase.

I'm nervous to tell my coworkers. My due date is right at the end of a major campaign and its going to make their lives more difficult. I feel bad but wouldn't change it for the world after having tried for 2 years.

I have pretty much personally told everyone that I would like to know. Trying to get creative informal announcement wise...

Also trying to be considerate of DH's cousin's wife who just had a very bad ectopic pregnancy, which resulted in the loss of her tube, and serious internal bleeding. She is really  being a trooper, but I don't want to rub in her face.

I am more nervous for people to know the gender becasue it could be crazy!! If I have a girl my aunt, mom, and grandma with freak and be overly obnoxious!!! Especially my grandma! The mil hates our baseball themed nursery she is only all about pink becasue she had 2 boys! Ugh I'm so stressed! I love reveal parties but I wish we were revealing it to not us in front of everyone
