Any suggestions on how not to announce pregnancy?

Im 23 weeks and only like two people know. Im starting to show but im not looking to announce at really any capacity. This is my 5th pregnancy and hopefully baby #2. I didn't really have any plan to announce other than people noticing and me simply stating something on the lines of I enjoy my privacy during this time. I guess I'm just looking to see if anyone has any experience on a low attention/private pregnancy or even hiding it the entire time. I doubt that's a real option as I was huge with my first.

We didn't really tell anyone except our parents until I was almost 22 weeks.
Around that time, we sent little cards saying, "we've been keeping a secret... we're expecting a baby boy!" to our siblings and grandparents. Other than that, we really never made a formal announcement.
If people hear about it or ask, we do confirm that we're expecting, but we keep the details vague.

C-sections

If you have had multiple sections, which did you find the easiest recovery wise?

I found my second a lot harder than my first as the operation was longer. Worried if I had a third, it would be even more difficult.

Slow labour?

So i went in for my sweep today, i am 39+6. Baby is 3/5 engaged. I was already around 4cm dilated but NOT in active labour. Ive been having cramps for the past 2 weeks and honestly feel like the sweep did absolutely nothing🙂. I lost my mucus plug and that was about it. I feel like this baby just doesnt want to come out. Im tired and so over it. The pain is absolutely just tiring me out however everytime i go to triage to get it checked out they say its normal. I have tried everything and anything at this point. Is anyone else in the same boat or is it just me

Labour?

Contractions have been regular then seemed to taper off a bit. Screenshot from my app. Is this actually labour? Each contraction is very painful and im sort of trying to breathe through them but also sometimes having to moan. I'm shattered as I've not slept a wink so far tonight as its been ongoing on and off all evening/night. Should I call triage and ask to be seen? Don't want a wasted 40min journey 🙈
