This may just be a vent fest but I’m feeling very frustrated today in this journey. Due to fertility issues we had to go thru <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> to conceive. I have always been very open about our journey and today I regret that because my family is not respecting our decision to not announce the pregnancy till the 2nd trimester. My mom won’t stop texting me asking if she can tell her friends, what part of no doesn’t she get, I then tried to talk to my sister and she did the same thing pushing back on why were waiting so long?? Then my MIL keeps asking if she can tell people yet, luckily once I said no she hasn’t asked since.

Trust me I want to tell the world after everything we’ve been thru but I’m over 35 with a history of miscarriage and my husband and I have decided to wait just to be safe...we also have a great plan with our family photographer to document the announcement at 14 weeks.

Has anyone else dealt with something similar and how did you handle?

I’m trying to calm myself down but it just pisses me off the lack of privacy. I was open with them on our journey and I didn’t have to be, now respect us and let us tell the world when we’re ready, it’s not their news to share.
