  I say if you don't feel comfy then don't say anything at all.  You can always wait until you start showing and then when people ask you can say,"Why yes I am, I am _____weeks PG"

  Don't do anything that you are uncomfortable with, you will only regret it later since you will feel bad about it.

  I was terrified to tell people. ?Unfortunately, it was not a fun experience for me. ?I think for me, it was the fear of having an "audience" if something were to go wrong. ?I was worried about telling people, then losing the baby, then having to un-tell people, then have people judge me for being so stupid and telling "early" again. ?We are our own worst enemies when it comes to the thoughts we have, aren't we!

  I am so chicken too.  I've only told family and close friends.  I have yet to tell others or my work.  I'm going to tell at 16 weeks. My boss is out of town until then and I've decided I just need to do it and get it over with.  I'm terrified. 

  After 2 m/cs, dx October 2008 with hetero factor v leiden & mthfr & low progesterone; third time was the charm - BFP 3/19/09 on first cycle of clomid.

  Congrats on 13w!?

  I'm still nervous to tell people. ?I get red in the face (always happens to me) and sweaty and I kind of blurt it out. ?I do have to say that it is nice to have people know and be excited for you. ? I work with 200+ people. ?I'm telling like 2 people a day so by the time I'm 30w it will be done. ?I'm mostly hoping gossip will do it for me. ?Gossip and my little bump.?

  I waited until I was 15 weeks to tell family and 16 weeks to tell work and friends.  It's scary no matter what.  You're putting it out there and you can't take it back.  I would litterally shake when I was about to tell someone I was so nervous.  DH had to tell me to breathe.

  Congrats on 13 weeks!
