[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Currently 7 weeks pg.

What I (and also DH) do not want:
-A baby shower 
-To be photographed while pregnant 
-Anyone we know besides DH & I at the hospital 
-To announce the pregnancy prior to 1-2 months before the birth
-any social media posts about the pregnancy

Absolutely no way are either of our parents stepping foot in our house until baby is several months old, nor will we be willing to travel with baby before that time.

We don’t care about strangers, coworkers, friends or acquaintances knowing. We have clingy families. They all live 2-4 hours away.[/quote]

We did not “announce” the pregnancy at all. At 20 weeks I had to tell work for planning purposes. We shared with some family at that point also but it was absolutely clear to them that nothing was to go on social media, etc.

Planned c-section and ofc no one else was at the hospital; that is 100% your choice.

Given the likelihood that you will be photographed by ubiquitous surveillance cameras while pregnant, I would give up the aspiration of appearing nowhere on film/digital (if that is what you are referring to). But you absolutely do not have to have those God-awful “pregnancy photo shoot” pics taken. Just don’t schedule or pay for any and you’re good.[/quote]
