Reply by shrsta » Apr. 27, 2012 1:12pm I got a BFP yesterday too!! Hubby wants us to keep it a secret for the first trimester too! We suffered a miscarriage in Sept so i'm OVER THE MOON about this positive!!! Very hard to keep it a secret! Keep yourself occupied!!!! Try to find a neat way to announce to friends and family? :) Report	shrsta Posts: 2
Reply by lalarilley » Apr. 27, 2012 1:38pm I haven't gotten my BFP yet, but I think you should try to enjoy this time as your own. Once you share it with everyone you know, its no longer yours alone. Then the joy is everyones. Keeping it just between you and your husband could help you bond closer together, simply because you know you've done something amazing, and don't have anyone asking you about it. Its your time to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet, because once you tell, everyone is going to want to talk to you about it. This is just the way it seems to me, but everyone is different. Maybe discuss with your husband, and see how he feels about just telling a few important people, like your parents or best friends. Good luck, and congratulations! Report	lalarilley Posts: 8

Reply by mama2abbi » Apr. 27, 2012 6:51pm Thank you ladies for your replies! Lyric36, thank you! I love your idea :) I might just have to do that! Lalarilley, I never thought about it that way because I am so ecstatic about it! I've been through 3 chemicals, so I really want to shout it to the world, but I know you're right. I do want this to be just between me and hubby for a while! It's just hard to keep from letting it slip. LOL. Shrsta, to you too!!!! Here's to a !! Are you hoping for a girl or boy?

Reply by shrsta » Apr. 29, 2012 7:59am I have a one and a half son, so, a girl would be amazing! Although i do see myself with two boys. So i guess i'd be ecstatic with either one! :-) i had a miscarriage in Sept, and after the doctors were really concerned that i might not be able to conceive again... So this pregnancy is a miracle! I'm over the moon!! How are you feeling? Report	shrsta Posts: 2
Reply by mama2abbi » Apr. 30, 2012 8:50am I'm doing well! Still bloated, nauseous, and fatigued, but I'm very happy about all of it! I keep poas everyday just to see the line get darker and it is definitely getting darker this time! I am like you and still over the moon! And i'd be very happy with either a boy or girl even though I have a 5 yr old girl :-) And she is dead set on having a baby sister. Lol. Report	mama2abbi Posts: 28
Reply by scarlettlilly » May. 1, 2012 6:32pm Congrats! I'm bursting to tell everybody too. Only my BF and mom know right now. I think it will be easy to keep it secret as long as I keep busy like working, going to the movies, writing in a pregnancy journal, going to the gym, spending time with my BF.
