How do I keep this secret?! Temptation is killing me!

Question

How does anyone keep this secret for so long?? We told family and a couple close friends right away with first pregnant but that ended shortly after in miscarriage. So we want to wait until 12 weeks to tell anybody, even family. It hasn't even been a week since we found out and I'm already dying to spill the beans! How do I keep this secret?! 😅

Answer

I didn't. I've lost 2 and everyone knew days after this one. Can't live in fear

Answer

Hehehe....well, I'm 18 weeks and still haven't "announced". We are enjoying our little secret way too much 😜💑💓.
We aren't finding out gender, or sharing the name either once my tummy becomes more evident.
I'm not actively hiding my bump anymore. I'm just not shouting it from the rooftops.

Answer

We told our parents at 5+4, then we told everyone else at 11+5. It was hard, but we wanted to wait until around 12 weeks.

Answer

Though I pray to God that you don't endure another loss, if you do, would you want your family to be there for support? If you do want them to be there for support, you may as well tell them now so they get to celebrate with you, and if something were to happen, mourn with you. If you would want to mourn in private, then keeping it secret would be better. Good luck either way!

Answer

Even if you are high risk I would tell close family so if something were to happen you have support

Answer

My doc told me because I'm a high risk pregnancy not to make an announcement until I meet with my specialist which will be around 15 weeks.. I haven't been able to share the news with even my mother. I finally told my boyfriend at 10 weeks.. Then my brother at 11.. Little by little u will start to discreetly telling very close people... Lol.. I understand you want to exploding and being able to be as excited as u want with everyone but docs see it as a very itimate suggestion to announce. At least u have us. Being part of this forum has really help me so much to cope. Wishing u all the best!

Answer

I'm 16+3 and we just finished telling family this last weekend. You just put it out of your mind, and know that it will be worth it to wait because people won't be thinking in the back of their minds "well.....it's still early, so you never know." I loved being able to say, "Yup, pregnant, and I'm already well into the 2nd trimester, genetic testing has all came back good, we know the gender AND here's what her name is. See y'all in 5 months!" Lol. (Although we didn't give away gender, and we told them boy and girl name choices.)

Answer

I waited with my third because she was a surprise. Plus I ended up bleeding around week 12 so I really wanted to wait until my next doc appt.

Answer

You don't lol

Answer

Maybe just confined in one close person like your mother so you have her to talk to about any concerns you have and the excitement
