[quote=Anonymous]I am pretty private as well and don't like to be the center of attention at all but ... This is weird lol

Sure, you announce it when you announce it.
Wear looser clothing early on in the pregnancy. 
Stay on top of gentle exercise to minimize weight gain/ bloat
Stay hydrated

No one will most likely notice until the last trimester or at least that was my case with both kiddos but I carry small and everybody is different.

If you're not the picture type, and you don't announce until late second or third trimester, people will not take pictures.

I didn't do baby showers with either of my pregnancies but people still sent me stuff anyway (which was nice)

It was just me and DH during labor but the second kid was during COVID so that wasn't an issue with anyone.

We had no visitors for the first 90 days with both kids because of germs. Again the second kid was during COVID so that was no issue.

You don't really need a game plan. Just live your life, set boundaries, and do whatever you want. [/quote]
