How to tell family about long term infertility and pregnancy...thoughts?
Has anyone gone through long term infertility and kept it a secret. Then got pregnant and had to tell everyone their journey and good news? No matter what I do, I know my family will be upset but dh and I both felt it was best based on experience and family dynamic to keep everything between us. Granted now I'm kicking myself and scared to death how they'll react but I'm 12 weeks and cant really hide it any longer lol. I thought about doing a video of our journey followed by the announcment at the end so they can see the journey from start til now. But I keep second guessing myself. Any thoughts? Anyone else go through this? How did you announce? Please no judgement...I'm kicking myself enough lol.

I think that's a lovely idea! I feel like even if your family were upset that you kept your problems a secret, this fun and upbeat way of presenting it and announcing your pregnancy is a great idea. I also think you're taking their feelings into consideration too much - as someone with fertility problems, your feelings should matter most. Infertility is a very stressful and lonely thing to go through. Congrats to you and yours!!!
