So sick of lying!

lhcass

I have only know that I am pregnant for 2 weeks and it has been SO HARD for me to lie to everyone.  I have lied to my parents, my friends, my co-workers...ugh.  I am supposed to be running a half-marathon soon and everyone is always asking me about my training.  Truth is, I stopped running when I found out I was pregnant (my OB suggested that I should push myself...this would have been my first half and I am NOT a natural-born runner).  All of this lying is exhausting and I hate having to keep thinking about what my next excuse will be for not drinking.  I don't know how I am going to get to 12 weeks!

there is not a written rule that you have to hide your pregnancy.  tell people if you want to.

This.

I already told a couple coworkers - the ones I would turn to for support if needed. I am telling my parents this weekend. DH does not want his parents knowing yet, so he will tell them when he is ready.

You don't have to hide it. Just think about who you would turn to if you needed help, support, or just a shoulder ... and those are the people you can tell whenever you want.

This. Is there a reason why you are not telling people? We are telling people already, I don't want to keep it from people.

We don't want to tell our parents until after our first ultrasound next Thursday.  This will be the first grandchild on both sides and we want the pregnancy confirmed before we tell them.  As for friends and co-workers, we just can't imagine telling anyone before our families so we will wait another week!  There isn't a reason for keeping it a secret other than we are being cautious.

I feel the same way, LHC10! I have told our parents though and my twin sister. But I want to share this wonderful news with everyone!!! But, I don't want to have to "untell" everyone, so I guess I'll have to hold off. I doubt I can make it to 12 weeks though!!
