I worry about announcing my pregnancy publicly (immediate family knows) because of my associations with huge amounts of people that are trying to get pregnant or just experienced a loss. I feel like I'll receive more hate than happiness 😕😑
@karnawest You are so right! I'm about 2 weeks away from announcing and my sister keeps telling me she wants to do a photo shoot (she's a photographer). I'm shying away because I don't wanna hurry anyone but my good news shouldn't hurt!
Yeah, I was in a wedding and three of the bridesmaids where having trouble conceiving and here I am waddling around. I just made sure not to mention a lot about it around the ones I knew where sensitive to it or not bring it up at all if I could. But, this is my life and my news and I have just as much of a right to be happy as anyone else.
@karnawest I appreciate your understanding. It's really sad to have 'friends' saying they're jealous when I wasn't even trying this time! I was done having kids!
I understand I actually had a harder time with my second pregnancy announcing because of this issue but hopefully if they are truly your friends they will be happy for you. Don't let others misfortune ruin your happy news.
