im 7 weeks and hoped to not tell anyone apart from parents until I was 12 weeks and had my scan. however I think ppl at work have started guessing and my clothes are getting tighter. I know it prob seems more obvious to me as I know iv got a bean growing inside me. my colleagues at work are terrible gossips and anyone who has put even a pound in weight on they suspect is pregnant, so god knows what they are saying about me!

i think im gonna have to tell ppl earlier than i thought. anyone else been in the same situation?

Im nearly 10 weeks and have not told a soul except you lot and my OH.
Too too too nervous after a mc in Feb. . .and Im debating whether or not to keep schtum after my 12 week scan or not too. Im terrified im going to jinx myself.
If people ask, I just say "nope im just getting fat" with a massive grin. And then I usually follow it up with a "why, are you feeling the cream cakes calling too?" hahahahahaha

Good Luck-do this when you feel ready-not because you feel pressured into it-this is YOUR news, not theirs!!

I agree, it's your news not theirs..
I had someone ask me the other day and I just said I'm eating more at the mo and I'll go back on the diet in September!!!! Don't tell them if you not ready hun. Congrats by the way!!!

just dont say anything - leave them guessing until you are ready to tell them!

I didn't tell anyone until I was 12 weeks at work. It was hard but they all said they never suspected it when I thought they did! Tell people when you're ready xx

I agree with the others - it's your news to tell when you're ready! I have been feeling that folks around me might suspect too, so to head off the questions I have been dropping "gosh I need to lose weight" in the conversation every once in a while, so that they might think I was just eating too much and feeling self-conscious. That will usually keep people from asking! For example, out to eat with my mother-in-law a few weeks ago I made sure to say "No wonder I can't lose weight, I have no self control!" when I had an empty plate. It also works for me when people offer me alcohol - "No thanks, I really have to lose weight. I am trying so hard to watch my calories."

Just be careful not to talk about any of the give-away symptoms, like nausea, stuffy nose, aching breasts, etc.
