Re: i hope i don't jinx myself

  • I know it's hard! How far along are you now?
  • It is hard. The "rule" is that you tell the people that you would be willing to tell the bad news to.  That is why it is nice to have a place like this that you can share your excitement. 

  • Agreed with Danni.  I have seen so many folks tell everyone or even on FB even at 10 weeks and the next day something bad happen.

    Our rule was that I normally told you guys and then about two close friends right away so I had someone to talk to and then at 2 months we told parents/close family and really close friends.

    Then the rest had to wait until 12-14 weeks when we announced to everyone else.

    To each their own...you just have to make that decision if you do tell would you be ok with having to tell them the unfortunate news if something bad happens (really hoping nothing bad does happen)

  • Eh, I figure you can tell whoever you want to tell. I have quite a few friends that already know because they've been texting/Facebooking/calling me for the past two years to make sure my spirits were good so I told them right away. Of course I'd tell them if I had another loss though, so that mentality does make sense.

    The only people that currently know that I wouldn't have told otherwise are all at my work. It's pretty obvious when I'm not here so some of them found out when I was at doctor's appointments and what not. Most of them know what happened last time too though and they'd know if I had to have surgery again.

    My mom has told her two girls at work b/c she couldn't contain herself and I told her that was fine. Definitely no Facebook announcements from me yet though! Probably won't be one until there's a baby or someone posts a pic that makes me look fat, ha!

  • I tried not to let the world know, but I have a big mouth and my H has a bigger one so the whole world found out sooner that I would of wanted. Actually with the first pregnancy the word got out alot sooner than this time.

  • Maybe I'm not jinxing myself then b/c we really only told people we speak to on a daily basis - immediate family and bfffff's. Those I told were all aware we were TTC too. We'll see. Fingers crossed!

    I'm 6 weeks tomorrow. Still sooo early.

    Wow! I thought you were further along. I don't blame you for keeping mum for now. Just know that when you do spill the beans everyone will be even more shocked that you kept it a secret!

    In my ideal world this is how I want it to work out for me some day, but everyone and their mother knows about my IF. So, who knows.
