Outed at work on Friday!

I recently had a MC so Im extra cautious and haven't shared my news with most people until I have my US on Thursday. On two occassions Friday two different co workers asked me if I wanted to share good news... lol. I did confirm, but I had a Missed MC at 7 weeks and didn;t know until10 weeks, which is scary. How are you dealing with keeping your secret? Just a a week will make me feel so much better, but I also feel I have popped. Im obviously looking PG now!

Keeping this a secret is the hardest thing ever!  Hubs and I have decided to wait until beginning of 2nd trimester to tell our families, mainly because I also had a MC at 10 wks over 2 yrs ago.  My boss, however, does already know because of all my dr appts (I'm high risk due to pre-existing diabetes so my appts are already weekly). We're going to my mom's next weekend, and I have just about every early PG symptom there is!  I'm just trying to stay busy/pre-occupied to take my mind off of it for now & hopefully these next few weeks will fly by...  Good luck!

We weren't going to tell anyone until we hit 13 weeks but my boss had to know since I had a handful of appointments early on and we decided to tell DH's parents and brothers after we had our 9 week u/s and everything looked good and of course my Mom knows. But we are keeping it a secret from everyone else. I figure the people we did tell will support us if something does happen, so that makes it feel right. 

I cannot believe people actually ask if someone is pregnant, talk about no class and no consideration for the mom-to-be. Maybe it's just easy to see that after experiencing losses.

I was dying to tell the news early on but "got used" to my secret. Now I don't even feel like telling anyone until they notice! That could be fun...

Good luck. I wanted to wait, but I didn't for long. I am waiting to tell most of my family and friends until my u/s. I had a m/c at 7 weeks last time and it was super difficult. I am so excited to tell everyone though!

DH and I were going to wait until 12 weeks, but we only made it until yesterday, LOL. We feel that if something is going to happen to this pregnancy, it will happen regardless of it being before 12 weeks or after 12 weeks. If something happens, at least for awhile we celebrated and enjoyed it while we could and we know that we will have tons of support from our friends and family. It might sound kind of naive of a first-timer, but I don't want to live in fear this entire pregnancy. I want to celebrate the life inside of me and enjoy it. I do understand why so many people wait though.
