[quote=Anonymous]First pregnancy, told my parents after we got a positive test, and the rest of my family at 8 or 9 weeks. Then we got a prenatal diagnosis at 17 weeks. We continued the pregnancy, but not everyone supported that decision. Lots of people thought we should terminate, and told us so. Telling people the diagnosis was the worst part because I had to watch their reactions and listen to their judgement. I eventually stopped telling people and tried to pretend everything was normal. It was really hard.

Second pregnancy, didn’t tell family or close friends until the second trimester, after all our genetic tests came back clear. Didn’t tell coworkers until I was over 20 weeks and showing.

Didn’t announce anything on social media until a week or so after my kids were born. And we purposely kept the announcements vague. I don’t need my kids’ names, birthdays, or faces out there on the internet. We don’t post pictures or updates about them; friends can get that info by text.[/quote]
