For those of us that didn't tell to many people yet...

Do you find it annoying that if you do something that's considered a sign of pregnancy in front of someone they have to call you out on it?

The other day, I cried over a binding machine at work - the darn thing was just not cooperating with me and took me an HOUR to figure it out. When someone came in and saw me frustrated, I showed her what I was doing, and it works (go figure). I started CRYING.

I also, threw up from the smell of someone's muchroom pizza a few days ago (i LOVE mushrooms and now the smell of them repulse me). It was brought up to me a few minutes ago by my co worker. I swore him to secrecy and also, because his wife just had a kid, he should understand it's RUDE to ask.

I really didn't want to tell work yet, but he suggested that maybe he'd lay off me if he knew (i have been snippy and I have been acting a little off which is totally not me). I'm only 6w.5d and I haven't gone for my sono yet, I was kinda hoping tell him AFTER tax season.

What should I do?

Re: For those of us that didn't tell to many people yet...

i hate when people do that. Like clearly, if you haven't told people you aren't ready to tell. People should just lay off.

I was just at a wedding with all my friends and one friend was suspicious so she started asking EVERYONE if I was preggs and then grilling DH about it. Ugh...I was so annoyed bc its way too early for everyone to know. She was drunk so she didn't get the hint to just drop the subject. Now everyone is suspicious but I have just tried to play it off.

I wouldn't tell him if your not ready but if you just tell him then I would hope your coworker doesn't tell anyone else.

You are not OBLIGATED to tell anybody about your pregnancy. You can tell them as a courtesy when you are further down the line, but if you're not ready to tell them, I wouldn't. They cannot hold it against you for not telling them the day you get a BFP. It's your health and your decision to tell at your own leisure.

Your co-worker has some balls suggesting sharing your PRIVATE LIFE with your boss at just 6w5d! It's none of anyone's business but your own!

Oh I called him out. I told him he can do his own work if he blabs, and I said straight to him I'm sure his wife didn't appreciate it when people assumed.

I feel like a biotch this week, with everything. Everything is making me angry.

Re: For those of us that didn't tell to many people yet...

we told a few people right away (also helps that they were at our house when we found out)... that being said they haven't said anything to anyone else.....

I get a text message yesterday from a very good friend -- he was in the wedding. Saying" I heard something last night and for the past 12 hours have had an ear to ear grin... is it true"

I was SOOO upset because we wanted to tell him -- but not until AFTER the Drs appt. Turns out that the person who told him - we didn't even know he knew... I am not fond of this person that spilled my news... but the fact that he is blabbing about our news and hasn't even talked to us to make sure it is true pisses me off.Chat Icon

My friend that texted me is so happy and understands, but I am still hurt that we didn't get to tell him.

People are rude.

Last week my boss flat out asked if I was preggers because I was drinking choc millk. Chat Icon Chat Icon

Re: For those of us that didn't tell to many people yet...

Ive been so bloated and people keep asking me if I am pregnant...it is so insulting. I just respond "no I got fat but thanks for noticing" that makes them really uncomfortable. I also feel so irritated when people ask me the infamous so when are you going to have a baby question even now that I am pregnant. People are just so annoying!
