Hello,
Im not sure if this is the right place to put this but here we go... Apologies if it's too long.
I am 11+5 today with our first little one. It was a big shock when we found out but we are now getting to grips with it. Initially, I was really nervous about telling my eldest sister that I was pregnant because she is the eldest (she's 28 and I am 25) and she has wanted a baby forever!
I wouldn't have really wanted to tell ANYBODY before this but because I care about my sister and didn't want her to be upset, OH and I decided that I could tell my 2 sisters about being pregnant and wait until the 12 week scan to tell other people. So I told my sisters but it just so happened that my mum overheard, so we ended up telling my dad too. This was all fine, and out of fairness we decided that OH could tell his mum and siblings too. We asked everyone not to tell anybody. (Incidentally my eldest sister has barely spoken to me since she found out about 6 weeks ago!)
The annoying part it that in the past few weeks i've been finding out that people have been telling other people OUR news. MIL has told a friend of hers who knows us, who then went on to tell a friend of my OH!
That was annoying enough, but then today I found out that my mum has told my nan and my eldest sister has told a friend that we have in common!
Im really upset and annoyed with everybody! It isn't their news to tell and we still don't have confirmation that everything is okay. If something bad were to happen then I wouldn't want everyone to know about it. That is just me. I just feel like the family are causing nothing but stress. I am not ready for everyone to know. And its also upsetting that my sister can't just be happy for me!
I know this is a bit of a pointless thread but I suppose I just want people to tell me that I am not unreasonable to be upset with people.
