Pregnancy: To tell or not to tell?

4 August 2006 No Comment

To tell or not to tell? The big dilemna.

Do you tell people the happy news straight away or not?

Well, some say yes, some say no. I told those who loved me straight away and those who didn’t after the landmark twelve week point. Reason being, I figured that if they loved me (family and close friends) then they would only feel as upset and disappointed as I would have if anything went wrong, also I would have my support network ready to help.

People to tell after 12 weeks; work colleagues and boss (probably the other way around!), friends (not close), extended family (Aunty Ann in Australia!), women from your yoga group, postman, bank manager, the guy you sit next to on the train to work, your dad’s golf mates, your grannie’s bingo ladies etc etc etc you get the idea….
