Three days ago, I found out I'm about 5 weeks pregnant with my first child. I've told my family, immediate and extended, and several close friends. People I love and trust.
The sad part is having been told at least twice a day that it's too soon to be telling people. That so many things can go wrong in the first trimester. It'll hurt more if something happens if everyone knows. Blah blah blah.
I know they're just trying to help. And I have to get used to everyone giving their opinions and advice.
BUT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE STOP!!!
For years, I've been terrified of being infertile, having a miscarriage or stillborn, and how I would handle a mentally handicapped child. I know hundreds of things that can go wrong. I don't need to be told of them every day of my pregnancy! Especially right now, since the first trimester is so critical.
This child is God's gift to my husband and I. If HE decides for us to experience something tragic, we will need the biggest support group to help us through it. So I am going to continue to share God's wonderful gift with my loved ones. Because I know they will be there with me for the amazing blessing of raising this child and the alternative.
I haven't given the link to this blog to many people yet. So I'm not fussing at anyone. Just tired of being given stress from those meant to support me and needed to vent.
But beware the next person that says it! I might just go off on them!!
