Mummies vs Daddies!

Sooz

Hi everyone :) this might be a long post!

I'm 4 weeks 5 days and have known for 6 days now. When I found out I ran downstairs with the test, my OH gave me a huge cuddle, asked if I was OK (I have a mental illness) and then said "BoyBoyBoy" to my womb!

Since then whenever I have mentioned Eggo/Sprinkle he doesn't say anything, so after a couple of days I asked him if he was excited and he told me his mum had 5 miscarriages before he came along, so he doesn't want to get too attached until the 12 week scan. Now I totally get that, he's a realistic and always has been whereas I'm all or nothing, but i'm so excited and can't talk to anyone! I told him how big it was and he said don't tell me anything about it, then saw he'd upset me and said OK you can tell me. I feel like these first 12 weeks (apart from the obvious) are so much easier for the Daddies, they can go to work and forget about it, but we mummies have to literally carry it around 24/7, and it's like I have this internal flashing neon light that says I'M PREGNANT but I can't talk about it and it's all I think about!

Does anyone else feel like this? I want to tell my OH about every little twinge, how big it is, what it looks like, how I feel, but I also want to respect how he feels!
