So I STILL haven't officially shared the news with anyone that I'm pregnant. Some people in my…

Why haven't you announced?

With my middle son no one knew till I was 34 weeks, it just something I felt like keeping to myself lol but once I told everybody I was flooded with congrats and people were sending me stuff lol

@jaygirls My husband missed my entire first pregnancy, I had to tell him in a letter and he wasn't able to come to any of my appointments or the birth. This time around we just wanted to enjoy it amongst ourselves. It's not a secret or anything, just not something I've announced.

@boymomx3 We had a 4th of July party and a few people asked me when I was due. I told them and everything, but just never "officially" made an announcement. The side of the family we're seeing tomorrow though I haven't seen in a long time, so I'm sure they will notice. I just don't want to take away from her day. I forgot this was coming up lol or I would've just sucked it up and made an announcement weeks ago to put it out there in advance.

So then don't go? That way you don't have to announce. 🤷

Family talk so maybe they already know.

@jaygirls It's not such a big deal to miss a family event over. I'm just hoping no one overreacts about it. A simple congrats when are you due or whatever is fine. But I don't want anyone dwelling on it because this event isn't about me. So I'm just hoping everyone can respect that.

I’d go and have fun. Don’t bring it up and deflect if anyone else does

@inkedsouthernbelle That's what I'm hoping I can do. On a side note I find it really weird to go up to someone (family or not) and ask "so when are you due" if no pregnancy has been announced. Like yes I have a little bit of a belly, but still. I'd never ask anything pregnancy related if I wasn't 100% sure about it.

So wait, your parents haven’t asked if your pregnant but you are visibly pregnant? That would be super awkward no?

@emily526, how far along are you? Unless you’re like 8 months and about to pop I’m sure everyone will be too shamed to ask if that little pooch is a baby or gut lol. Hell I won’t even ask a visibly pregnant woman when she’s due because I NEVER want to make that mistake so I’m sure you’ll be fine and can hide the pooch for a day or two.

@inkedsouthernbelle I'm 32 weeks! So it's definitely a bump. It's not a secret or anything so of course if someone asks (a few did at the last family event) I just say yes and move along. But some people just don't know when to drop it 🙄 I don't mind talking about it, but this event isn't about me and I hate the attention people feel the need to show. I just want to eat the free food and relax 😂

@mimixtmn I believe they know because they're not stupid, especially not my mom. I don't see them often at all. I did see them on the 4th of July and my uncle asked me when I was due and one of my mom's friends. I discussed with them openly and I told my 2 cousins that were there as well so if my parents were eavesdropping they would've heard without a doubt. Neither of them have said anything to me though. It's not really awkward because when I see them it's always at an event so it's not like we're sitting face to face thinking about the elephant in the room (me😂). I was going to make a FB announcement, but I wanted to tell my parents first out of respect, but I can't do it in person even if they already know I have anxiety through the roof lol. I was going to do a cute little announcement for them, but idk what to do and time is obviously ticking.

@emily526, oh well then there ain’t no hiding that bump hahahaha! Just deflect the conversations if it comes up and enjoy yourself
