Why am I so nervous to tell people I am prego??
I am like so nervous-- almost like I am putting it off, and don't want to deal with it. I guess I am afraid that once the info is out there-- something will go wrong.
I feel like I should be so happy and excited to do it.

Re: Why am I so nervous to tell people I am prego??
why don't you start by telling us 
honestly, i think it's completely normal... especially if you didn't have the easiest time "getting here"
you can be excited about being pregnant, but still feel like you are going to "jinx" it by telling people
but i'm willing to bet that you'll feel at least a little revlieved when you can finally work up the courage 
have you told your family and close friends yet?

Yes-- several people know including close friends and both our immediate and extended families-- and we have started to tell a lot more people this past weekend.
I am not done telling those who I want to tell before coming out on here-- but, it's just not as exciting as I thought it would be.
And now I am waiting for someone to call me back and I am SO nervous.

Re: Why am I so nervous to tell people I am prego??
I have a guess who you are! But I know exactly what you mean - when I was pg we told our parents / siblings right away but we didn't share with friends/extended family til 14 wks and I didn't tell work til almost 17wks (although I wanted to go longer!)
It felt good once it was out there - when I was ready to share 
ETS: I think on some level I was almost a little embarassed too. Obviously pregnancy is a truly amazing and natural thing - but for me, it was almost like sharing an intimate detail of my life since there was sex involved  That probably sounds weird, right?

I was so nervous to tell people, even immediate family. You would think I had bad news.

I hate to be mean, but just do it. The more you stress/delay telling people, the more you are building it up. Once the words come out of your mouth, its a good feeling.

Re: Why am I so nervous to tell people I am prego??
I felt the same way. By last week I told everyone and it feels so much better being out in the open than trying to keep it a secret.

This is so funny because I thought this too!! Even though I had IVF-which we don't share with everyone-as far as strangers...all our friends and family know but when i talk to people in stores I usually don't say anything. great minds think alike!

Re: Why am I so nervous to tell people I am prego??
I understand what you mean by not wanting to 'jinx' it...I felt the same thing and just didnt want to tell people.
But once you tell them you will feel great!

Re: Why am I so nervous to tell people I am prego??
I think you are going through a normal stage. When you are ready the words will just flow out. Telling the first person might be hard, but after that the ball will be rolling and you will be so excited to tell everyone and see their responses to the wonderful news! Congratulations and good luck!
