Keeping it secret

I find this bit so hard in the early weeks! Your whole world changes when you find out your pregnant but generally you don't tell anyone so it feels a bit lonely! My husband is great but this is our third (even though it feels like starting again after a 9 year gap!) so he's not totally consumed by it like I am.

I told my sisters way before 12 weeks with my last pregnancies but this time I need my girls to be the first to know, but they're 9 and 12 so I also don't want them letting it slip to other people too early!

So many little things I want to be able to share but have no one to share it with!

P.S that's why I don't have my face as my profile pic yet as my sis in law is on this app!

Feel free to reach out to me if you ever need to vent or chat about it over these next few weeks! I agree it’s tricky, especially when you start having symptoms and just basically pretending everything’s okay because no one knows. I have told just a couple of close friends but that’s all. It fully takes over your mind though so I get it..

I’m always here for you. You can always share here. It’s great to hear from other mums.

Thanks ladies xx had my first 4am wake up with nausea this morning so had to get up and make a piece of toast, tiptoeing around my older girls who were having a sleepover in the lounge...oh the joys 😅

Oh wow. The stealth mode is real. How many weeks along are you and when did you start feeling nauseous?

I'm 6 weeks today and just started having moments of nausea in the last 2 or 3 days. It's only really when I haven't eaten for a while and usually fixed by a snack, at least for now anyway!

Friends wedding abroad

Hi all. I know this is FTM... But really need advice. I am currently pregnant with baby #2. Only 8 weeks. I didn't want to tell anyone yet, my partner and boss knows (needed for risk assessment reasons annoyingly). My friend is getting married in a remote part of Spain in ~3 months. I've already had a few minor complications, pain, bleeding, vanishing twin... I got preeclampsia last pregnancy and a terrible birth.
I am pretty sure I don't feel comfortable flying and then travelling out to a remote part of Spain during pregnancy. It will just be me and my toddler. I know it's overcautious but I just don't feel comfortable. I'm not even sure if I am going to be classified as high risk pregnancy or not.
How do I handle this? I need to tell her ASAP, but I didn't really want to tell anyone yet as doc told me miscarriage risk is a bit increased with vanishing twin. Any ideas?

Anxious/depressed

My first pregnancy symptom was my anxiety out of nowhere. I feel like I'm a bundle of nerves and just so scared of everything. Is anyone else feeling similar? How are you managing? Are we contributing it to hormones?

Sneak Peek Test

I did the sneak peek test at 15 weeks pregnant, and the results just came back girl! Has anyone ever taken the test, gotten girl, and it been wrong?

1st trimester support

So does anyone talk about how rough the 1st trimester emotional waves are? 🥹🥺
