[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It wasn't just the sex aspect, I didn't like people thinking about what's going on with my body. It just was so personal and everyone wanted to know all sorts of details that I wasn't okay with sharing... I tried to be coy, but people took it as if DH and I weren't happy about the pregnancy and said mean comments about that then. "In my day, people used to like sharing the news." "I used to love talking about my pregnancy." I was a manager at work and was generally really friendly (regarding other topics). [/quote]

But...it's  your family.  Not the guy at the water cooler, right? [/quote]

PP here. No it was weird to tell family too. My mom is extremely nosy so I think that's where my anxiety about this stuff stems from. She immediately wants to know if I've had bleeding, weight gain, morning sickness, wants to be there for the transvaginal ultrasound, feel my stomach when baby kicks.... you name it. It wasn't pleasant telling inlaws either even though they're not intrusive. They're still judging my pregnancy and thinking things. [/quote]

Why would your in laws judge you?

Did you ever think your mom is asking you these questions because she knows being pregnant doesn't guarantee a baby and wants to make sure you're not missing any signs of anything being wrong?
