Telling the family tomorrow!

It has always been my plan to start telling everyone on Easter that I'm KU, but now that they day has come I am completley freaked out!  My husband told his parents two weeks ago, and I told mine last week (and almost vomited from fear), now its time to tell the rest of the family and friends.  Is it normal to be this nervous?  Of course the bloat is so bad that I look 5 months pregnant, so it's kind of hard to hide.  But ever since the m/c scare on Wed (in the ER for 5 hours, bleeding, cramping, etc. u/s showed healthy LO)  I'm scared I will tell people and then it will happen again!  I had no idea pregnancy would be sooooo stressful!

Well, it definitely sucks to untell everyone, but you're almost to the 2nd trimester and you are more out of the clear than at 6/7 weeks!  If the timing isn't right then don't tell...maybe wait a bit longer after your m/c scare.  On the other hand, if you look pregnant you may have to, and it is a fun time to do it.  It's a personal decision and it is scary to tell --for the fear of the unknown.  I'm sure it will be great whatever you decide.

Good luck!  I'm always terrified to tell my MIL (I shake and almost throw up) because she is never happy about it.  I don't seem to remember any of the early pregnancy symptoms so I"m totally freaking out right now, but thankfully my hubby decided that he doesn't want to even tell her till 13 weeks so I have about 9 weeks to prep myself. 

I'm so glad your baby came up fine on the u/s!  I had a scare twice with my first one and she's a healthy crazy two and a half year old.

Calm down! This is a wonderful, exciting time in your life! You don't want to look back and see yourself as a basket case...just relax and try to enjoy the ride. ?

Everything will turn out great! Don't get too nervous and enjoy telling them.

Thanks for posting this. I'm about 9 weeks or so along, and I feel just as nervous about telling people. My hubby wants to tell the world (wanted to as soon as we had a positive), and I just can't. I read stories about everyone being so excited to tell and I feel the exact opposite. I thought I was the only one. I'm happy I'm pregnant (wanted it for over a year) and am optimistic that all will go well, but for some reason telling the fam is really intimidating (this will be the first grand child and great grand child in my family). The fear of m/c is pretty powerful I think.

I hope you have a wonderful experience telling everyone and that you feel relief from your stress. Good luck and know you're not alone

Thanks everyone!  This is also the first grandchild/ great grandchild for our family, so I know everyone will be excited.  I am soo nervous, but I'll get through it.  Thanks again!  (Next week I'm coming out at work, as one co worker already looked at my bloat and guessed!)
