I don't want everyone to know

[~Megan~]

Last time I sang it from the roof tops. But this time I'm just not feeling like telling everyone. Its like something I just want to keep to myself for some reason. I guess I'm just feeling really protective still.

Each time I use the bathroom I still check the TP for blood because I'm still worried about loss.

I had no fear last time, this time I'm more educated and know it can happen to me. I try not to dwell on it but its still there in the back of my mind.

I have these same feelings. Soon you will not have to tell b/c they will be able to tell! Maybe that is some small comfort.

i feel the same way b/c of recent losses but for me, i am not going to have a choice soon b/c my belly is so huge. i guess i can pretend i been eatin too many donuts but it looks like a baby!!! i havent told many people yet at all. even at my playgroup last week when another momma asked me, i said, dont ask! ask me again in a month! i really felt like you in wanting to keep it to myself.

I checked (and still check to be honest) for blood on the TP every time I go to the bathroom. It is really hard to not worry after a loss. I kept this pregnancy to myself for the first 3 months except for telling the people I work with so that they would be sympathetic to me taking it easy (which I think is so important right off).

Keep it to yourself if it makes you feel better- there will be plenty of time for telling.

Sending major :sticky :sticky :sticky :sticky :sticky vibes your way!

I can understand how your feel. I have been pregnant 3 times. The first and third time ended with the birth of my beautiful daughters. The second time ended with a miscarriage at 6 1/2 weeks. For my first and second pregnancys, we told everyone right away, we were so excited. For the second, I even put it in our Christmas Letter. Then, at 6 1/2 weeks my second prengancy ended in a miscarriage and we had to tell everyone the bad news. That majorly sucked. When I got prengant for the 3rd time, just six weeks after the miscarriage, we didn't tell anyone for 11 weeks. The only person we told was my mom. I waited until we could hear the heartbeat on the doppler at 11 weeks before telling any or DH's family or any of our friends. I pretty much checked for blood on TP all during that entire pregnancy. In the beginning, I dreaded seeing it. Towards the end, I was looking for it to signal the start of labor. :lol

I can totally relate about beign worried! Im so worried about this pregnancy. My last preg ended in miscarraige at 12 weeks, had a d&C 2 days later since they found signs of a partial molar, then got preg right before gettign a depo shot. So we didnt find out we were preg until we were 16 weeks along. Im only at 18 weeks now but Im SO parinoid! The placenta has implanted on my cervix so Ive got Placenta Previa and had my first bleed at 11 weeks. (Didnt even know I was preg at the time!) Havnt bleed again yet tho! (fingers crossed) AWe still have time for the uterus to grow enough for the placenta to migrate off the cervix but if It doesnt my natural home birth will end up being a horrible hospital C-section! And then I start thinking about the big possibility of loosign my uterus to hemorrage too! :(

I thought this was going to be the fasted preg ever since we didnt find out until so late but I think all my worries are goign to make it seem even longer!
