I found out I was pregnant last Wednesday and we both decided to tell our immediate families right away. But we were going to wait till after the first ultrasound to tell our extended family and we made sure everyone knew so no one would post or talk about it. (In case anything were to happen)

I would be comfortable talking about difficulties with our immediate family if something were to happen but my husband does has a really large family and i would definitely not be comfortable talking about any issues with everyone.

We specifically told his mom not to tell anyone. We understand that it’s exciting and I wanna shout it out to everyone too. We’re both excited as heck too, it’s our first baby! BUT we wanted to make sure everything looks good first!

Over the weekend she had a lot of people over to her house and Told EVERYONE. They’re all his extended family(aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents).. We are both really upset(me more than him) we didn’t even get to be there to see their reactions.. it may not be a big deal to some people but I feel like that’s our news to share! We then had to hurry and tell a few others that weren’t there that day just so they wouldn’t hear it from anyone else.. it’s not the way I would’ve preferred to talk about it at all.

She has had trouble with boundaries in the past and I feel like it’ll never stop. I have confronted her about things from the past but I hate to stress myself out when I’m pregnant and I hate to get into the drama. I would not be surprised if she starts telling me how to raise my kid.

Sorry I needed to rant /;
