How do you not tell everyone instantly?

I think there’s too much pressure on women to wait. I personally feel it’s best to share the news when you’re ready to share it and when you know in your heart it’s the time to share it.

I told my mom right away and swore her to secrecy. I couldn’t hold it 😂😂.

It's okay to tell people whenever you're ready. The question I would ask yourself is how you would feel if you lose the pregnancy. Will you feel better if people knew that your were pregnant even if you have to tell them? Or would you rather they didn't know you were pregnant so you don't have to tell them? Many people feel like they would want to have the support of their close family and/or friends if something happened, and choose to tell early. There's no right answer! Only what makes you feel most comfortable.

i think you should do what you’re comfortable with! i told my mom and best friend pretty early on, as i knew i would want their support no matter how the pregnancy turned out. we more shared our news with close family and friends at 15 weeks, and shared the news more publicly at 20 weeks. pregnancy is unpredictable, so understand why people wait. but you should do whatever YOU are comfortable with.
