Feels weird to start telling people.

pennyandandy

I am totally not a center of attention kind of girl, and we wanted to wait until we were out of the 1st tri to start telling everyone. Now that I'm here, I feel weird running and around and telling everyone I'm pregnant. Don't get me wrong, I am uber excited and I know everyone else will be, but I just don't want to walk up to people (mainly my teaching friends that I haven't seen all summer, or friends who live far away) and just telling them I'm pregnant.

Not gonna lie, I kind of liked having this fun little secret between DH and I. Anyone else feel this way?

I know.. though I am secretly loving the attention! Its like I have waited this long and have been so happy for everyone else who announces, that I am glad its finally my turn. Thought I did tell my principal today at work, and now I know it will start spreading throughout the school... and I am sure he will announce it at the back to school meeting in a few weeks.

But you are right, its weird to be so secret about it and then be OK telling people.. def an adjustment.

I liked having the secret too! This is my second. Don't know when I'm going to start telling people. I announced it on FB with my first, again, I don't know if I'm going to do that.

I felt really weird about it with DD.  I just like to keep my business to myself, but obviously this is not something that people won't notice.    I really only told a few people at work who I knew would tell everyone else, etc.  I will probably do the same this time around.  We have our NT scan on Monday so assuming everything goes OK with that, I'll be coming out of the closet next week.

I felt really free after we told people.  It was so nice to not have to worry about keeping a secret anymore.

I know the feeling.  Unless it's someone I'm particularly close to, I feel weird.  I've told the ones that matter the most to me and the rest are finding out by word-of-mouth and whatnot..

Yes.  It is weird to actually say the words.  It has been so long of trying to get to this point, I am not sure how to get my mind out of being Infertile.

I don't however have a problem telling complete strangers.  Or while we were on vacation letting my belly go   It is so hard to suck it in anyway now

I haven't been trying to keep it a secret, but at the same time it does feel weird to just say it.  I wish I could just look pregnant, so people could guess and be done with it!

Yes!  I love having this wonderful thing between us.  Looking forward to sharing soon as well, but mostly b/c I don't want people to start asking!

I have felt this way the whole time. I even felt funny telling my mom. My husband doesn't understand it. He wanted to tell people a lot sooner than I did. Now our families know. I love all the attention, but I still don't like telling people.
