I'm avoiding people...

emma9

so a co worker emailed me today about going to lunch this week and I blew it off - every time she saw me in the hall she was like "so,,,,any baby news?"...she means it in a really nice way, but I really want to hide out from my gossiping co workers until a couple of weeks before school starts ..:) I'm feeling bloated and just want to keep a low profile before I have to worry about what i'm wearing that covers up the bloated belly

am i crazy?

Nope. Not at all. I totally, flat-out lied to a friend (not a close friend; we're telling our close friends) last night about it. And you know what, I don't feel bad. She doesn't really deserve to know yet.

I'm avoiding people too... I'm getting puffy and it's harder to hide.  Since I haven't really told anyone I feel like I want to hide until I'm really showing but I know that's not really possible.

i think my favorite line ( i got this from a co worker) whenever someone asked her if she was PG (and she wasn't ready to tell) she would just smile , glance down at her belly and say "ooh..bad fashion choice  , huh?"

or "damn, I knew this shirt made me look PG ....:) that's what happens when you oversleep" she was very clever !

I'm catching people looking down when they talk to me...and I don't really own too many puffy shirts!

I totally avoided people until I was ready to tell

No!  I am totally avoiding people too!  It really doesn't help that I gained almost 10 lbs my BFP cycle so people probably think I am like 16 weeks... sad... I am keeping to myself and DH.

Not at all.  It's up to you when you want to share the news, and unfortunately some people are really nosy and want to know/ask before you are ready to spill the beans.  I've had a couple people ask before I was ready to tell and just told them that there's no news yet to share, which is true because I'm not ready to share.    Maybe you can gently tell her that she'll be one of the first to know when there's something to share?  GL!

ooh ! that's also a great line ....I'll hopefully be 10 weeks when school starts at the end of august

You're not crazy.  DH and I haven't told anyone yet.  We'll tell his mom,  his step-dad, his dad, and my mom soon.  Oh and my SIL and her DH.  They know about the m/c.

I came right out and lied to my coworkers for 13 wks. They knew I had done ivf but I told them all the tests I had done came back unconclusive. And my re had no real answers.

Thankfully they bought it!

I was able to get around not drinking while out w/ friends since I told them I can't drink while taking my thyroid meds.

I was quite bloated in the beginning and said it was a side effect of the meds I was on.

I hated not telling the truth but I need that reassurance before I said anything. Do what you think is right!
