Seriously, everyone is talking about baby showers and telling people or being oooo and hhhhaa'ed around me.
I haven't said a word, 10w seems early to me. Plus, my first US and such is today. I am not even sure I want to tell anyone until I am close to 20w.
Is this normal? I know some are telling on here, and making babyshower plans. I just can't do any of that yet, this baby is wanted. Very wanted and welcomed, but all I can think about is MC. I think that is why I haven't told.
Re: I feel out of place....
I delayed on telling my mom until last week, and I'm starting to wish I delayed even more, she's already told her close friends and while she hasnt told the family, she's said that my aunt "needs to skype with me."

I do not believe it's wrong, for me I am just not ready. Today is my 10w-12w appointment, so I am hoping seeing the baby and HB will make everything more real.

For me personally, DH and I haven't told anyone and won't even tell our families until Thanksgiving. I'm not planning on telling others until I can't hide it anymore though.

my family during that time and it would have been harder for me to explain the reason for my emotional state if they didn't already know we were expecting. I truly do think that it is totally up to you and how you feel about it though. One way is no better than the other. Good luck with whatever you decide to do!
With my first, I worried the entire pregnancy. I didn't enjoy any of it, because I was so worried about the "what ifs". After I have birth to my daughter, I said my biggest regret is that I didn't just enjoy pregnancy more.
I try to just remember that today, for all I know I am pregnant, and I am happy.
I think it is totally normal to be afraid and to not want to tell. I would really like my family's support if something were to happen with this pregnancy, and I would want this little blessing to be remembered. Everyone feels differently, and that's okay. You can tell people whenever you are ready.
We told everyone at 6 weeks with DD, and the next 7 were riddled with anxiety. We're waiting as long as possible this time.
