Secrets and stress

in January 2013 Moms

Hi ladies, I'm new on here, almost 6 weeks along :) husband and I were very excited to find out we are expecting our first!

now that the excitement has worn off the stress is what I'm really feeling. I'm stressed about keeping this a secret. I'm extremely close with my mom so I've already told my parents And one brother (he was in the room) but its my friends I'm worried about. I'm really close with my friends and I'm also one to never pass up a drink when we are all hanging out. I feel like I'm avoiding them and lying and this is adding a lot of stress and unhappiness onto me. I had dinner with them tonight and one sent me a text after saying ' I know your pregnant' i wish they would give me my space but at the same time I know they are just excited for me, I'll be the first to have a baby. Sorry for the long rant, any advice is appreciated.

    Congrats! I am assuming you meant to post on January 2014. 

    Would it be less stressful for you to tell people early? There is no rule that you have to wait.

    What a jerk. Who does that? I hope you told that perso. Who texted you no matter if you are or aren't they're acting like an Ahole. Sheesh.
    I kept mine a secret for fear of another loss. It's your right to do what you want by if you're being weird around people who know you well, some will guess. If you have to avoid people then do that. Take some "me" time or tell people you're sick. Stop stressing though about something that in the end doesn't really matter. Focus on you!

    Well, congratulations! If I were you I'd just tell your close friends. Honestly my thought was that if something happened with my pregnancy I'd probably share that with some of the people I was closest with anyways so might as well llet them know from the start! Best wishes H&H 9.

    You can also say you are on antibiotics and can't drink. I knew my friends would be suspicious too, only I got "lucky" and really was on antibiotics for two weeks at the beginning. Then I just told my close friends early bc like pp said, they'd be the ones I'd cry to if something went wrong anyways.

    If it causes this much stress, just tell them.
