1st Trimester

Keeping pregnancy under wraps for now

Hi new moms! I am 5 weeks pregnant as of today but I am not ready to tell my friends or family I am pregnant until after my first ultrasound (currently scheduled for week 8). How do you guys go about keeping it a secret from your closest friends and family? Pretending I am fine is starting to become exhausted!

Re: Keeping pregnancy under wraps for now

  • It's flu season and the holidays? That's all I can think of because I also am horrible at hiding symptoms. There's not really any way to disguise running to the bathroom to vomit. 

    I told people "I haven't been feeling well lately" or "I'm not sure that food agreed with me, is your stomach ok" (to someone who ate the same meal).

  • I am 7wk1day with my first. It’s been hard not to share with immediate family as we’re quite close but we are also waiting until the 8th prenatal visit and ultrasound. I haven’t seen the family lately due to me having a head cold weeks 5&6. Otherwise, I haven’t had many symptoms so hiding it hasn’t been an issue. But I do worry about my sister giving me grief for not telling her earlier but I wanted to know “for sure” before sharing with people. 
  • I haven't had many symptoms either and am waiting (6weeks3days) but I have a nasty UTI and needed "mom" advice so 2 moms I know a bit from church have been told lol. Mostly I have been just anxiously wanting to share but also nervous because I had a miscarriage at just under 6 weeks in August. I've been brushing off anything as not sleeping well or having eaten something that wasn't agreeing with me and no one has been suspicious yet.
