Suddenly Nervous! -Telling

[sandlin15]

I am suddenly EXTREMELY nervous about telling my Mom this afternoon. And I have no clue why. It has to go better than the last time I was pregnant (young, single, etc.) but I think I'm just as nervous to do it. I told DH on like Thursday that I was telling her today and I've been completely calm and ok with it until 5 minutes ago. We really wanted to wait until after my first appointment (Feb. 9th) to tell our parents but a) I really want my early pregnancy items that are at my parents, and b) DD and I talk to my mom every night and I don't think I can keep it from her for two more weeks.

((Hugs)), good luck! Do what feels right and natural.

Good luck! I always tell my students nervousness is just excitement directed the wrong way. Not totally applicable but maybe that is part of it. Anyway hope it goes well!!

It'll be okay! Can your husband share the news with you at the same time so it's not all on you?

Telling is a big deal! I think it's normal to be nervous. But hopefully it will feel good to "come out" and your mom can be a source of support.

The only reason I haven't told my mom is b/c she can't keep a secret. Oh, and DH doesn't think it's fair if we tell my folks and not his, so we're just waiting (plus we live in a different city from them, so it's easy to keep it under wraps).

Good Luck! It's so much more real when other people know and it's nice to be in the bubble for a while where it's just you and DH who know. (In my experience) so that may be contributing to your nervousness.

I wish he could! I'm at work and going to my parents to pick up DD1 when I get off. DH is at home trying to finish putting up window trim (yay remodel) before we get home.

Good luck! I'm sure she is going to be thrilled!

Big Hug!! I am sure it will go great!! I understand being nervous though! Good luck!!

Good luck! I felt the same way! My mom is the only one besides DH and I who know. I wanted to tell her because I thought I might need some extra help with DD. I was super nervous and although she was surprised, she was also excited. I hope it all goes well!

Fingers crossed it goes well! We're staying with the in-laws and I'm sure they'll clue in long before we tell them -- but I'm hoping to keep a lid on it for awhile.
