Am I the only one who doesn’t want a lot of attention during pregnancy? I hate being invaded, I like my space and don’t want anyone to touch my belly(when I have one). I’ve read and heard of many women who want all this attention and it be a “all about me, all the time” type of thing and get jealous when other women are also pregnant or even get competitive. I’m not a “winner upper” type of person. Also, this will be mine and my husband first baby and I know it’s a big deal but I’m not ready for everyone to just be all up in my biz, ya know? Especially his mother! Also, I have a co-worker who’s been trying to get pregnant and has been very open about it, she’s been trying for going on 4 months now, me and my husband have been trying for 7 months but we didn’t tell anyone about it. *(Finally got a positive hopefully it’s sticky and healthy)* now we don’t plan on telling anyone for a long time but, I’m afraid when we do she’ll be mad at me if she isn’t by then or if she is she’ll be mad I’m “stealing her thunder” yes, she might definitely feel like that because someone she knows closely got pregnant before her and she’s still mad about it. I know I shouldn’t worry about it but this is all going to be so new and I have so many thoughts going thru my mind rn as I’m still processing it b/c it doesn’t feel real. Lol.

Anyways, thanks for coming to me tedtalk lol.
