With my first I was 33 and everyone basically knew when I was 2.2 seconds pregnant. I really had no consideration for complications or any real concerns.
Now at 38 and 12.5 weeks I'm still hesitant to announce.
Being AMA, when did you announce? And what made you feel comfortable with announcing?
(I'm sorry if this has already been asked. I did scan through posts and didn't see it).
Re: When did you announce your pregnancy?
And I am 14 weeks now and you can already tell as I am starting to show. Nice little bump going on.
EDD: September 23
PGAL: September 2010
AMA:
Then we did a small, impromptou gender reveal for a larger group of friends during our 4th of July cookout, that was at 19w.
I haven't made any facebook announcements to the rest of the people we know or anything.
And my DH hasn't told anybody at work yet.
I'm kind of enjoying having a little secret I guess.
With my 1st we told parents after NT scan as well and then around 4 months I posted on FB. We haven't had any losses or anything, I guess I like to keep things private.
January PAL siggie challenge; Good advice:
I'm 9 weeks and was planning on something for fb around 12 wks. Not sure. I'm so excited not sure I can wait longer! Everyone is different. Of course MH can care less about fb but the people I'm friends with will be excited for me...and well...some will be totally shocked especially that I will be close to 47 when baby comes I really hate seeing those numbers lol

Make a pregnancy ticker
I'm 4.5 weeks now. We've had a couple chemical pregnancies just a day shy of 5 weeks, so we won't tell ANYONE until we get past that mark. Then we'll tell parents and my boss. (I'm the only person in my department, so they need to start looking for help ASAP).
With DS, I was vomiting and looked like death by 6 weeks, so everyone at work knew something was wrong. I really couldn't hide it much longer than that. I assume this one will be the same, but will be happy if it isn't! (Even as I type this, I am trying to figure out how to explain why I feel so crappy today. I think the next 10 weeks will be pretty much like the first baby).
**siggy warning**
