"Secretly Pregnant"
Anyone seen this show? These women have psychological problems. They get to 5 or 6 months pg and are still "too scared" to tell various people in their lives. Do they think no one will find out when they, you know, give birth?! It's so messed up!
Re: "Secretly Pregnant"
Why is that "messed up" not to tell?
We didn't tell our best friends that I was pregnant until I was almost 28 weeks.... Our family didn't get told until 20 weeks. The majority of our other friends find out when I show up with this big belly or if we don't see them, they will find out when the birth is announced on facebook.
Have you had multiple pregnancy losses? Do you know what it feels like to have to untell people? For some people, a positive pregnancy test does not equal a baby in 9 months. A lot of us are on pins and needles for the entire 9 months.
I just read discovery health's recap of the show. No where in the description does it say these women have psychological problems.
"Secretly Pregnant takes a look at the lives of women who are, for various reasons, keeping their pregnancies a secret. Watch as they balance life, family and work with the demands of pregnancy. Will they be able to keep their secrets?"

I don't think it is silly at all. This particular girl struggled her whole life with her dad, constantly seeking his approval and never feeling like she received it. Imagine how it must have felt for her to fear being rejected again by him with such big news.
How is it that my BABY is going to be 3?

I have never heard of this show. It sounds interesting!
I have not seen the show. Are they just not telling or are they going to great lengths to hide their pregnancy until birth? I think the latter is odd. I didn't want to tell people until I got big enough that it was noticeable, but it had to do with fear of loss and not fear of anyone's reactions. But I'm a well balanced adult. I don't have people in my life I need to fear.
How old are these girls/women? I can only assume their teens if they were worried about their dad being angry.
If that's the case, the obviously its not related to fear of m/c.

The two women on the first episode didn't tell because they were afraid of their families' reactions. I do think each show will have a different "theme" (based on the description), so it's possible that other women will have not told due to loss.
The women were 23 and 28 for the poster that asked.
The 23 year old was afraid of her father's reaction. She was open about it with everyone else except him (and her step-mother) because he is very hard on her.
The 28 year old was embarrassed because she and her husband were unemployed and they were homeless (well, living in a motel room).
Thanks for posting...makes more sense now.

I've never seen the show. I don't plan on telling anyone for a very long time if/when I get pregnant again. I suffered a loss recently and had already told the world so I had to un-tell later. It sucked so next time around I will be keeping my mouth shut, probably even past the 12 week mark for fear of another loss.
CRAFTY ME
my read shelf:
I'm watching it right now. The first woman has some issues I think. She is 23, has a good job, and is in a stable relationship. She says that her dad will be angry or upset and gives people a hard time and he's never liked children. I don't see how any of that has to do with having a baby. It's happening. She can't stop it now. I think he's going to be more upset that she didn't tell him. It's sad because she obviously has dad issues and I hope she can work them out.
The second woman my heart truly goes out to. Neither of them have jobs, they live in a motel and one of her other children can't even live with them, so I can understand how they could feel ashamed of their situation.
Yup. I was right. He was way more upset that she didn't tell him right away.
I will admit. I cried right along with both of the woman when they told.
