Guest guest Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 Waiting until you are 14 weeks seems perfectly reasonable to me. I will be going through my first pregnancy when the time comes and I look forward to sharing the time with my DH at first, before telling the rest of the world. Another FIRST that we can share " just between us " for a bit.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 jenni, ithink you should wait personally. i swore i would do that, but didn't...and in the beginning of thi pregnancy i had 10 days of spotting nad everyone was calling and making comments... " it'll be a miracle if this baby comes out okay " , " is this one going to stick? " etc. (i had 3 miscarriages prior to my 5 years birth). it was really hard to deal withthe spotting and worrying, let alone everyone making those comments...maybe just tell your mom and ask her to keep it a secret. that would be my advice, and the reason i give that advice is because i have been in your position. good luck...keep us posted on your decision. aka mom2ben99 (jennilee75@...)

Baby boy due 2/17/05-Shanndon original wt. 342/current wt. 206/goal wt. 140 Should I keep my secret..... HI Everyone, I am Torn with Telling my family about the pregnancy and keeping it to my self. , and I and 2 close friends only know about the pregnancy (well and all of you ) I decided not to tell my Family including my children until I was about 3-4 months along I have lots 2 babies 1 in 97 and one in July -04 just barely 3 1/2 months ago so you can see why I am a little shy to tell everyone. Both My babies were lost in the 2nd trimester, at 14+ weeks Both you were able to tell the sex. I have gotten the most insensitive remarks after I lost Even people asking me what the baby looked like. If he actually looked like a baby etc.... I owned my own consignment store at the time so Everyone in our small little town knew So I did not want my pregnancy t be public again, I closed my store so I did not have to deal with it again. And could have an easy pregnancy. BUT Should I tell my family ? I do not want my girls to go through the Sadness of another Lost Sibling , IF something bad happened again. My Mother I have a feeling will be able to tell SOON She just can she is My mother and this is my 5th pregnancy afterall. PLUS She knew howw tired I was and how I could barely get out of bed some times with my last pregnancy and how I had to force my self to eat.. she is not stupid. hehe!! I kind of wanted to wait until Christmas I will be about 13 weeks at Christmas and at 14 weeks I lost both of the other babies so I am kind of scared of doing this ......maybe Put it in all of our christmas cards .... Sign the card, Love , Jenni, Michelea, la, and baby to be EDD 06-26-05 What do you all think ?? Jenni Mom to Michelea 9 la 5 and 2 Angels Tyler 1-25-97and 7- 05-04 EDD 6-26-05 WLS 9-15-03 299/173 Children are a blessing, and a gift from the Lord. -Psalm 127:3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
