I dreaded it. Party because I thought my mom would be judgmental about being pregnant during a pandemic, but also it’s just an awkwardly personally thing. Not just because of sex but because it’s something going on with my body. I’m glad my husband is excited about it and just tells everyone. I feel so self conscious and self centered to randomly tell people I’m pregnant. Co-workers were the worst. Like I know they don’t care, but I wanted them to know sooner rather than later I will be out on leave for awhile

Ha! Was going to say for DD2 we needed infertility treatments so no sex involved. We announced science

Yes. ( But my parents are awkward, judgmental and overly religious. Not fun to talk with about anything.)

I loved everything about being pregnant except talking about it with other people or telling other people I was pregnant. Two pregnancies and I never got used to it. It was always embarrassing and annoying. People immediately started treating me different (inferior) and asking constantly how I felt. I just wanted to hide and then pop out with a baby 9 months later. I never told before 20 weeks either.

+1 I do think it's strange to announce that you're "trying," because that's just like telling people you're boning, with no real conversational payoff otherwise. But expecting a baby is different - it's news they can use!


LOL true

Lol this. You’re announcing that you're expecting a baby, not the date time and position of the conception. Thank you for the giggle, and congratulations OP.
