And for telling other people about it - do what feels best for you at the moment.

Partly, I want to let other friends know personally in an email who have been struggling too TTC and also keep any references off FB until I can get home in August to break the news in person. I also feel a nagging that I will be 36 before my EDD and therefore #2 may not be on the cards for us so I feel this may be the only time we break this news in our lives and want to avoid 'online methods'.<br />Also, I know once news is broken it becomes public property and rather like getting married, everyone will have an opinion what's best and what we plan to do (without knowing the background)...maybe?luckymehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07732992049669516052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7987783094256987439.post-43058287927421292192011-06-20T23:55:13.983-03:002011-06-20T23:55:13.983-03:00Again, I'm feeling much the same.

I've even been considering not telling any friends back home and just turning up in Sept for our next visit with a bump (assuming/praying all goes well up to that point)!<br />I really can't imagine buying baby clothes and stuff yet... strange how this journey affects us all, isn't it? xxChina Dollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03462824778269002060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7987783094256987439.post-50880525155482414032011-06-20T21:53:28.870-03:002011-06-20T21:53:28.870-03:00I think a lot of people keep it quiet for longer t...I think a lot of people keep it quiet for longer than 12 weeks. Sometimes it's professional, sometimes through nerves.<br /><br />There was another IVF lady who was told b the doctor that it was time to 'normalise' her pregnancy - i.e. stop worrying something is going to go wrong, even though it was a difficult time getting where she was. I think this process of 'normalisation' after IVF takes a long time and takes a different length of time for different people.<br /><br />Do you feel you are still keeping it quiet because you are scared something will go wrong and it will feel worse because you have 'invested' in the pregnancy emotionally by allowing yourself to get excited?Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13196968417331947398noreply@blogger.com
