So I'm now Tri 2, I've had two perfectly good scans yet I'm still worried that by telling people I'm cursing it or something, I know it probably sounds insane but I'm so nervous about everyone knowing- did anyone else feel like this
In general I am really suspersticious, I wont walk under ladders, I salute magpies, wont put an umbrella up in the house - etc etc!
However, I absolutely refuse to listen or think any negative things about my pregnancy, inc adhering to any pregnancy superstitions - If I hadnt have made myself think this way I wouldnt have coped at all!
I did wait until my 12 week scan before telling people, but after that I have never looked back!
I think the best advice I was given when I was keeping my pregnancy a secret ( I lost a baby at 17 weeks and was terrified if it happening again) was 'if' something did happen having friends and family around for support is very important and very much needed. I was making myself feel even worse keeping it from people that when I finally told a friend and then decided to tell my parents and a few other close friends I felt a huge weight lift off my shoulders. But thats just my experience and we all deal with things differently.
Do what ever feels comfortable Kittikim, maybe confide in a close friend/family member and see what they think?
