Announcement Anxiety?

I’m pretty anxious and superstitious about everything but especially when it comes to pregnancy! I didn’t want to announce until the baby was born because I was scared something would go wrong if I told people. I’m 16+2 today and decided to announce on social media and I’ve been making myself physically sick with anxiety all day and want to go to the hospital for an ultrasound to make sure everything’s okay. Any other mamas like this? Any tips on calming down 😭

Hey, I know what you mean, I’m 20 weeks now and it’s just flown by but haven’t put anything on social media. Two of my friends have opened up about being pregnant to me and they aren’t putting it on social media either which does mak me feel better xx

Yup. I’m 17 weeks. Said I would announce at 13 and still haven’t done it.

I'm like this with my current pregnancy mainly because with my last pregnancy I lost my son at 21 weeks and this was about a month after I made the huge announcement...i just felt like some people were genuinely unhappy for me and praying for my downfall and so this time around I still haven't made an announcement...once I get my maternity pictures back then I will do it...by then I will be a bit further along...im almost 26 weeks now so by the time I make the announcement I should be past 30 weeks

Oh man can’t relate because I share as soon as I get a BFP lol 😝... but I would say maybe get off social media for a day or two to ease the anxiety. That always helps me!
