Anyone your nervous to tell?

carlyrenee · July 2010

I have a couple. My new boss, I was just hired Monday (teaching) I will tell her just after I sign my contract which will put me at 13 weeks. I have known her for quite a while however so I think it should go over okay. And secondly my DH's cousin. We are not really close with them but do see them from time to time. She is due 2 days before me...she is telling people I'm still keeping it a secret for now. She is extremely selfish and will not like the fact that she may have to share the limelight with me, where as I wish she would be different because we could talk and discuss things during this time...but she was the same way with our weddings. Just real apprehensive about dishing out what should be great news! Anything similiar ladies?

i was terrified to tell my mom because she is normally negative about anything i do but she has been very supportive and a great person to talk to. i am also nervous to tell work but that's only because they tend to screw with people who have major things going on.

I was nervous to tell our parents since my DS is only 13 months old and they will be 22 months apart. My mom and dad were surprised but excited. My mother-in-law on the other hand responded with "OH NO" "You are nuts"...real nice huh. I'm also in a similar situation where I'm afraid to tell my husbands cousin. She is pregnant right now and she is the type that will think "I'm stealing her thunder". Why can't people just be happy for one another?!?!

I know I was thinking it would be nool to have someone to go throgh this with and with our due dates being 2 days apart it doesn't get much closer but I know she will see it as I am trying to "steal her Thunder" as well. It's sad that people have to be like this because we could be sharing a really great experience, this is number 1 for both of us. Well good luck on telling her. I'm not for a few more weeks.

I was so nervous to tell my brother. He's my only sibling, and he's getting married on 2/11/10 in a destination wedding. I'm due on 2/2/10, so telling him also meant breaking the news that I won't be attending his wedding.

He was really cool and supportive about it all, so I was worried about nothing.

Not really. I'm sure everyone thinks I'm the girl who cried pregnancy by now... I don't think they even care anymore.

Oh my goodness I couldn't imagine having to do that. It's kind of bittersweet I suppose. I am super close with my little brother so it would be difficult for me even though a LO is so worth it. I'm glad he was cool about it

I'm sorry for all of your loss recently I hope this baby is super sticky! I'm sure everyone will be especially excited for you

I am nervous about telling work and my dad. For some reason, I can't imagine him taking it well b/c now he will have proof that his daughter has sex LOL.

Too Funny! I'm not nervous to tell dad because I think he'll be excited but I have wondered what his reaction will be. Mom already knows and is way too excited while it is still settling in for me!

I was nervous to tell my dad with #1 b/c of the knowing his daughter had sex! LOL This time I'm really nervous to tell one of my best friends since she just had a miscarriage about 2 months ago. I want to tell her, but don't know when the right time is.

I'm nervous to tell my boss. I work for a small office (3 employees) and won't be eligible for FMLA. I'm afraid she won't let me have time off, won't be cooperative with my needing a set schedule (I'm very flexible with my hours/days now), and we have virtually no where for me to pump.

I just don't think she's going to be happy and I don't really want to tell her.

I hate that things like this have to make us a nervous wreck upon becoming pregnant...I hope it works out for you

I was nervous about telling my MIL because she doesn't know how to keep a secret. She doesn't understand that just because we are telling her doesn't mean it's safe to tell everyone else. And my fears were confirmed. DH told his parents tuesday and I got an email from her friend yesterday. Grrr. I thought she would have gotten a clue last time when she actually had to UNtell people. My aunts don't even know yet! Moving on...I'm also nervous to tell two of DHs friends wives that I have become friends with. They both have had losses shortly before our's and trouble TTCing so I just don't want to hurt feelings. I know how hard it was to hear about pregnancies before we got our BFP.

I realize that not everyone has a difficult time getting pregnant or staying pregnant so I'm sure they can't imagine what it's like when you have that issue. But I can say after 3 m/c if I ever hear that someone is upset that I'm pregnant at the same time and stealing their thunder, I might have to lay into them. Anyone who is pregnant deserves every bit of happiness as it truly is a special thing to be a part. I've gotten to a point in my life where I dare someone to say something like that to me. People can be really thoughtless so enjoy this!

I am nervous to tell my sister. She has been TTC for 7 months now, and nothing. I am hoping she gets pregnant soon, then I can tell her shortly after.

I was also afraid to tell my SIL, as she just found out she was pregnant with her first about a week before. DH took it upon himself to tell her and thank goodness, she was very excited she doesnt have to go through this alone.

I was nervous to tell my parents / IL's / and our grandparents. We are both young and they have had many conversations with us about traveling etc before we have a baby. Well, they ended up being excited which was great!

On the other hand, my brother was not very excited and responding by saying "Oh My" when I told him he was going to be an uncle. Hopefully he will come around in the next 7 months and be apart of his neice / nephew's life but if not then oh well. I think he's upset because he's 5 years older than me and I got married and am having a baby before him.
