No desire to tell.

tak2002 · June 2011

I have NO idea why, but I have no desire to tell anyone I'm pregnant. With Henry I told everyone (family) the day I tested or the day after. EVERYONE knew well before 12 weeks. This time, I think I'm going to wait for the full 12 weeks, and maybe even not make a huge announcement then. I have no idea how I'll hide it from my mom (a midwife) though.

What the hell is wrong with me?

*Disclaimer: Yes, I am happy to be pregnant.*

For some reason, this pregnancy is different for me too. I am super thrilled but also really enjoying just treasuring keeping this sweet secret to ourselves for a bit.

I think there is a beauty about either reaction.

I so agree with you.

With my first we didn't tell anyone until 18 weeks. I just didn't want all the attention and fuss and questions that came with it. I would love to wait this time around, but it isn't going to be easy. I have a feeling I'm going to be showing a lot faster, plus its summer and I can't hide it with big baggy sweaters like I could last time.

Me too! I am so joyful and hopful with this pregnancy that we will be able to take home our bundle of joy in February but I am still loving the special secret that is just ours (and, of course, all of the Bumps). My husband is so sweet and wants to share with my grandparents, who are having a rough time health wise. We might do that, but I'd probably keep enjoying it myself most of the way through if I can keep from throwing up on everyone.

I love that we get to enjoy this at all!!

I feel the same way. I want to wait for awhile to tell the whole world. I did tell my parents and my MIL. DH has a large family and I rather wait to tell them. With DD I told the whole world when I found out.

I am right there with you. I have absolutely no desire to tell anyone. We lost a baby in Dec and it was a nightmare to untell people. This time it doesn't feel like it's about that. I just want to enjoy this with my hubby for a while. My BFF knows but that's it. MH wanted her to know so I would have some sort of support. I am with you. No one will know for atleast the first Tri. Unless I start to show. I have a DD and I started showing with my last preg quite early!

I absolutely agree with you all. This is my first, but I still have no desire to tell. Only DH and I know, and I wish we could keep it that way for awhile. I may have to tell my sister since my DH is out of town until August, so I probably need someone else to come with me to appointments and stuff. I just wish it would be our secret for awhile longer!
