Is there someone you haven't told about baby?

edited July 2011 in Pregnant
Just wondering. If anyone hasn't told certain people & why.
My story...
I've got a neighbor who I haven't told. I used to see her frequently but now not so much. Since om not driving & can't cart her around. She's also a nutcase. Slobby dirty home & family. Can't pay bills, had light shut off for bout a month because her fat hub would rather eat at restaurants & rent hotel rooms to swim than pay bills. She lets him. Haven't toldher because she & her 2 teens are gonna want to touch all over the baby & they aren't clean.

  • I didn't tell my mothers side of the family. I'm talking THE ENTIRE SIDE of her family. And I didn't tell them simply because they're evil little people and I don't like them one bit. I really don't want to hear about how irresponsible I am, what a huge mistake I'm making, and how I'll be a "just horrid" mother. I can literally hear them saying those things in my head. Jerks :P
  • i didnt tell my grandfathers side of the family! they are back stabbing evil people! ive kicked them out of my life! but i know they know already though cause my grandmother has a BIG mouth!! but i didnt tell them lol
  • @jessica_clayton wow the whole side!! Yea I've got people like that but not as bad. Did you tell your mom?
    One aunt...moms sis got mad cuz I told her at 12 wks while in the hospital for kidney stones. Like why I waited so long & blah. I'm 27 wks now& she's ok. My parents have passed.
  • @Proudmommy8789 well if they're evil & you don't have contact with them than to bad for them!
  • Lmao I thought I was the only one. The only people that know im Pregnant is my husband, my best friend, my Dr, u guys. Absolutly no one else knows. I see my family grandma. Mother etc everyday too..they don't know ...n I'm 23 weeks. Kids don't even know. I'm weirdo I know.
  • My grandma. She was devastated when I got married and she was convinced that I only did it because I was pregnant. I wasn't then, but we were ttc which nobody knew about. Everybody thinks this baby was an accident, but he was very planned. :)) Anyway, I knew my grandma would freak out and I didn't want to deal with it so I let my mom tell her. My mom told me that she freaked out like I knew she would so I'm glad I wasn't the one who broke the news.
  • I told my mom only because she's absolutely nothing like them lol. We've always felt like it was us against them. They're the goody-two-shoes-oh-i'm-so-much-better-than-you-lowly-hicks kinda people haha. And they truly are terrible. Since I'm only engaged and not married they would say me and my baby were both going straight to hell. Nice, huh?
  • Lol @urmomwasright no one can see your belly??? My neighbors are oblivious & not the brightest people out there as you can see from the post. But I saw her a few weeks ago for a walk. Nope she couldn't tel!! I'm not exactly slim so I guess she thought I just gained!
  • We haven't told my boyfriends dad side of the family. He hasn't talked to his dad since he was 14, but in the last few years his dad has reconnected with his sisters and has tryed with him but he won't let him. I don't know if they are "bad" people or anything I have never even been able to meet any of them
  • @VictoriaB nobody knows we were ttc either! I have an almost 11yr old & I think.I've told people that its not easy for us to conceive. So I don't know what people think. Nobody asked how! Though my mil said I lied about being infertile. I told her no I worked hard for this. Which I did! I wouldn't have waited this long if I was fertile!
  • @jessica_clayton classy people huh! At least your moms normal & can see that they're nuts & she's not like them!
    @mschop my hubs kinda like that too! His dad left the fam in mid 90s so he or his mom & sister haven't seen him since. Though the dad contacts the youngest sister. Mil wants hub to contact dad buy hub doesn't care too. We have seen the dad at 2 funerals. He has never said anything & neither have we. He has seen us with our daughter...his only grandchild besides the one in the belly. Guess he just don't care. So he doesn't know bout baby #2 or whatever.
  • Ugh, crazy mils. I completely lucked out with a sweet mil and my husband's ex wife isn't crazy either! His kids are really excited for this baby too. :)
    For a while, I thought maybe I wasn't very fertile because I've never had a pregnancy scare and I had a burst ovarian cyst when I was using the birth control patch. I thought maybe the cyst had damaged my ovaries, but 4 months of trying and I got pregnant.
  • Yep, they're a real class act. I was also too scared to tell bd's mom..but she caught me throwing up in the bathroom at 4 months lol. She was just like "Do you have the flu? Nope? Didn't think so." Now she couldn't be happier :D
  • @victoriab: I had 2 ruptured systs, one on each ovary and all my specialists said I had a slim to none chance of ever conceiving and a 0% chance of carrying a child to term...well I wasn't even trying and now I'm due to have my little boy in 5 days :D
  • @VictoriaB I have pcos where I don't ovulate or have regular periods plus other issues. But over the past 5-6 yrs I got treated & lost weight. So off the pill in Oct & got pregs in Jan! With my first I was with an ex for 2 yrs...no protection. Then a yr with hub no protection till finally surprise!! Baby!
  • @jessica_clayton some people change after hearing. My one aunt did! After getting mad now she's all excited!...... I have cysts too. None busted. One I have on the left ovary & it grew a bit. But I feel no pain. But 5 days!! How exciting. I got 13 or so weeks!
  • @Jessica_clayton
    I would have sued the company that makes the patch if I was infertile because I've always been healthy and always had extremely regular periods. All these stupid meds (hormonal birth control and antidepressants) that doctors put me on when I was a teen made me sick and mentally ill. Now that I haven't been on prescription drugs except pain killers when I got my wisdom teeth out and antibiotics when I had a uti, I've felt so much better. Sorry for the rant, I just hate prescription drugs! :D
  • @one5one well I too dl not exactly thin ...size 12/14 n struggle with weight .so people generally don't metion weight issues with me. Ive wearing big ass shirts n like those tighter tank tops under to suck in a bit or belly band. It's getting really hard now guess belly definitely I'd harder n bigger lump. My hub thinks I'm a tard for not telling ...but its so weird. Yet speaking of neighbours I was getting my 2y/o stroller out of car when I was about 12 weeks n she said oh what r u expecting....I'm like no.Wtf Sorry I do use a strolled for my daughter for like mall n stuff... mind it business right? Lol I would never ask someone that even of obvious. I guess box I know about weight issues n hoe s comment like that can make I feel.

  • @victoriab: my ob insisted I go on birth control when I had my first pelvic exam/pap smear and admitted I was sexually active (and safe about it!) He made me suffer through trying 5 different types of pills, the patch, depo provera shots and an implant in my arm...all of which my body rejected and made me bleed (severely and constantly) for almost 3 years straight. I finally was hospitalized for severe blood loss and was sick for months. I refused further treatment from my ob, but I now know I can't take any type of birth control whatsoever because my body rejects the hormones. That's why the systs on my ovaries ruptured, cause I couldn't take birth control to shrink them and they never scheduled a single surgery in time!
  • @one5one: no pain at all? Lucky little devil :P I had horrible pain! And yes 5 days is incredibly exciting, if only time hadn't stopped haha ;) time will fly until your days away from your EDD!
  • @jessica_clayton
    I hate stories like that. It's just sad that they treat us like lab rats. I recently saw a documentary about medicating children for adhd and bipolar disorder. I think its bs in most cases. If a kid is emotional or can't sit still, its because they're just kids! Help them through their emotions or take them to the park if they're hyper. Don't stifle their personality and potentially cause a lot of brain damage because its easier to drug them.

  • My husbands mothers side of the family knows (his Grammy had to take a valium lol). My parents know..my dad laughed and said congratulations. My mom said she wished she could say she was happy-pretty much same thing she said 3yrs ago. My sister knows..I assume my brother and his wife know. 2 of my best friends know and one cousin. The rest can find out when I come out of the closet on Fb lol still haven't told hubbys fathers side-except for one cousin. Mostly cuz when we told him about Gianna he was pissed but had to shut it when we said yeah we WERE using protection. But their annual family reunion is next month...times a tickin'.
  • @urmonwasright well ima a bit bigger thanyou. Prepreg was 16 & was still actively losing. But I don't step on the scale. Id go nutty. I think I've gained 10-15. But no ones asked me if I'm preg. I've just told people & they say I look great. Course I look good cuz they couldn't tell I was preg in the first place! Guess they thought I was just.getting fatter! Lol
  • @USMCwifemommy101107 well sometimes you need to cut out evil. My mom & dad ended up dying for their addictions. At least mom say daughter born. & dad had 4 yrs with her. I wish they were around but not like they was. But its good that your friendly w stepdad & siblings. Hows things going with you?
  • @jessica_clayton no pain. But at my 6 wk ultrasound the ob said I had a golfball on the right & large orange on left. But at 8 wk ultrasound the right was there but left disappeared. So at the 19 week level 2 the tech said I had the cyst on the left & that was bigger than ovary but right had nothing. So at 22 wks she said the left cyst grew some. Wonder what's happened to it at the next ultrasound.in 2 wks.
  • I didn't tell my sperm donor, he's an ass he showed up drunk at 1 in the am at the hospital the day my son was born who does that? Ugh I don't want no repeats this time :p
  • @mshahir you don't need a meth head in your life anyway!! & I guess moms side will get a big surprise!
    @mrs_shu family might be able to tell at the reunion! What I've realized is people need to keep rude comments to themselves! Thank goodness I haven't had many & people warmed quickly to the idea. Being that on hubs side my daughters tge youngest at 11yrs old. But on moms side its my cousins 4 yr old but since most fams passed I guess it's goid to have more kids.
  • @3rd_bumps_a_charm wow a winner! Lol nope better he not know! Did the nurses kick him out?
