Help ...I want to stay in this bliss a bit longer!!!?

Question

I am a little old(24 to be precise) to be worried about telling my family that I am pregnant by my bf of 7 years .It was a planned pregnancy but I just don't care to share this with everyone yet .Especially my mom or dad or my grandma . I want to keep the sweet bliss of it a while longer before everyone is offering help or acting as if I am a fragile little thing.

I just found out on Saturday and I have a super large family ... when I do break the silence how do I do it so I am not nervous ?!?!?!?

Answer 1

i thought it was kind of fun to taken extra care of when i was pregnant with my first one... but you should wait until 12 weeks to tell them and that gives you a lot of time to be in your sweet bliss.

Answer 2

Keep your secret until 3 months, then show them your scan, i made the mistake of telling my family the minute i found out, and was treated like a china doll for the whole pregnancy! Good Luck!  

Answer 3

Tell them when you are ready!!! Some people tell right away, some wait until three months.  It's really up to you!! Take some time to get used to the news yourself, it's so amazing.  There's really no right or wrong way to break the news, as long as they don't find out from someone else, that would be sad.  Best of luck to you!

Answer 4

i'm 11 weeks and not telling people until my first scan on the 17th september. Still keep thinking when i go to the scan there will be nothing there, even though i've had 4 positive tests and bad morning sickness!

I'm scared about telling my work the most and i've been there for 7 years!

Congrats!

Answer 5

i think you should wait until 12 weeks (I'm superstitious) then it gives you a bit longer in your 'bliss' It sounds like your family are going to be happy about this pregnancy not angry so i think you'll be fine :) Do something special to break the news to your mum and dad :) Good Luck and Congratulations :)
