I love that no one knows...

Well after my last pregnancy and telling everyone early on I am loving the fact that this time round we are keeping it to ourselves until at least my early scan, if not the 12 week one. OH's mum & her partner are staying with us this weekend (they live up north) and OH decided we'd keep quiet for the time being. So last night when we went to bed we laid all snuggled up and I was whispering to OH not to hug too tight as my boobies were sore and it felt like our little secret. Makes me feel closer to him in a way. Going out for dinner tonight though so need to come up with a plan for why I'm not drinking! Anyone else enjoying their secret? x x

Hi Bella,
Yes isn't it nice having a little secret - I'm 5 weeks too and won't tell most people until my 12 week scan.

Most difficult thing is definitely explaining why you're not having a drink, I am currently avoiding going out but can't for long as its my birthday next week and I usually go out for a few drinks! I'm thinking I will tell my best friend as I think its going to be really obvious. I need to find another way to celebrate my birthday

Hope you can keep your secret for longer than me xx

Ah yes it's so tricky avoiding the drinking thing...maybe you could suggest doing something different for your birthday such as going to the cinema that way you won't be in the position where you have to avoid having a drink as most cinema's don't serve alcohol! I'm paraniod that people will guess as most know we are TTC after my MC in Nov. OH's brothers girlfriend even asked me the other day how we were "getting on" I just said "well we've been pretty busy so not really thought about it" hate lying but I don't want to feel I have to tell people because I'm forced x x

Good idea about the cinema, I might try that - would be nice and relaxing too

Awww sorry to hear about your MC, tell people in your own time. They will all understand why you need to tell a few white lies.

I get the feeling its a long wait till 12 weeks xxx

thanks hon, yes I think people will hopefully understand, will be nice to be able to tell them once it's good news and I have a nice scan picture to show them! 12 weeks does seem like such a long wait, luckily we have this forum to share our thoughts with others and hopefully make the journey a little easier! x x

I still have difficulty telling people - I've had my scan and there is no reason not to!! I'm just so used to being a big fat liar that I cant seem to stop LOL

I was at a board meeting last Monday and I had to tell them I was going to resign as Director in a few months cos I'm pregnant and I swear my face must have gone red - I was like a 15 year old telling their mum!! I'm 38 !!

At the beginning of meeting (it was a relaxed evening one with food and drink) I refused wine and said "sorry - I'm driving" not sorry, I'm pregnant DOH

Yes I enjoy having a secret from work but I'm bursting to tell my family and friends. I'm worried work will find out though since I'm supposed to be going up to Scotland by plane on business about 2 weeks before I would be going on ML. I'm not sure whether to tell them now or not as they will want to know if I can make it and will be frowning if I tell them I want to go by train and want someone to be with me! xx

I am keeping it quiet as long as possible maybe even past the 12 week scan cos it is so hard telling ppl if something goes wrong
