Hello Everyone

This is my first post on here! So I thought i would introduce myself!

I am just coming to the end of my 6th week ( I think) all these date calculations are making my head swim a bit!
I am married to my lovely (most of the time) husband and we have have been married since August 08. THis is our first pregnancy and we're both completely over the moon.
I am however really worried because I have wanted to get pregant for ages and now that I am I just don't want anything to go wrong. I just want this first trimester to go really quickly so that we're out of the 'danger' zone and am ok to start telling people!
Its killing me beacuse i just want to shout it from the rooftops!
Did anyone else feel like this?

Any advice for this first timer would be greatly recieved!

Thanks
Holly

Hey welcome to b&b

I remember when I first found out I was pregnant I didn't tell many people for ages, most close friends were when I found out then several people around 12wks then everybody else I waited until 20wks !!

Hi and welcome to BnB
Congrats.

Holly, I'm even newer than you are and it's possibly not for me to throw my opinions around at this point, but this 'say nothing for the first 12 weeks' business makes me seethe! I'm sure it was invented by a bunch of middle-aged men in white coats! So, you keep your mouth shut just at the time when you most need support from your friends and understanding from your workmates, when you're falling asleep at work with your nose in your keyboard, bursting into tears in meetings, and running to the Ladies' for various reasons every ten minutes, you're terrified, wildly hormonal and emotional, and you're not going to get a scrap of attention from the doctor/midwife until your twelve-week scan. What do you gain from this heroic silence? If it all goes wrong, you lose the baby and are now a physical wreck, desperately hormonal, and in deep grief and anguish to boot, you can stiffen your upper lip, sweep the whole thing under the carpet, and pretend it never happened because nobody else knows and you can carry on without support or understanding, that's what you gain! IT'S RUBBISH! Tell the world! They can jolly well support you and be pleased for you now, and if there's a disaster, you'll need them more than ever! Let's start a Movement!
