[quote=Anonymous]I kept my pregnancy under wraps until now - 20 weeks- I don't think I can really hide it anymore- but many of the students were oblivious

I told them yesterday, most seemed shocked and surprised despite my 11 lb gain- a few girls said, "I knew it!"

A young man actually said, "Wait a minute, are you saying you got it in over the weekend?" (!!!!!)

The "tact" of 15 year olds....

What KILLS me though- and why I postponed telling them as long as I thought I possibly could, "That's why you have been so cranky with us."

My students are ill behaved- and when I call them out on it, they accuse me of blowing things out of proportion. I assure you my reaction is appropriate to the behavior - I have been "cranky" with such behavior - as anyone would be- when not pregnant - but now they will blow it off as- "oh she's just hormonal... we didn't actually do anything wrong." It happened with my first pregnancy-

It is so difficult to work with people who don't have fully developed brains- they are sooo irrational [/quote]
