| TTC - To Say or Say Not? |
| To tell or not to tell |
| Im torn between telling ppl that we are ttc or not. My hubby says he doent want anyone to know b/c of the nagging and questions that would be constant. I feel the same we always said when we decided to ttc we were going to wait until we were at least 8-10wks in (b/c you never know what could happen). Its so exciting and scary at the same time (will be our 1st child) I would love some one to talk to about it. I mean my hubby and I do talk about it but its not the same as having a girl friend to talk to about it. And of course this was a decision that we made together but you know most guys they dont have that much input on things like this. He is just stuck on not telling anyone. What should I do? |

| TTC so soon after having a baby! |
| So I have 2 kids. My son is 5 and my daughter is 9 months old. My partner and I are hoping to have at least 2 more children. We thought we were expecting again as I was late, But the test was negative and AF finally showed 3 days late. We were actually disappointed about that and we talked about having another. So we are hoping that within the year or next, we will get pregnant. Anyway people think its crazy to start trying so soon after having a baby and some of my family go on and on about birth control and how you don't want to be stuck with kids so close in age etc.. Children are a blessing and they don't stay young forever. I hate feeling stupid now because I am so crazy for another one and when I do fall pregnant with #3 I will actually dread to tell people as I know the reaction will be ''Already'' or something like that. Please tell me I am not the only one with friends and family that have such negative talk..
Sorry for the ramble but I just needed to get that off my chest..

| My advice, keep it to yourselves |
| unless your 1000% sure you can trust the person not to blab to others or ask repeatedly. I had a feeling we would have trouble ttc and, after ttc for three years, and struggling with that question, my advice is don't tell anyone. While I think my mom suspects, i've only told my BF in the whole world, who has been nice and not prying about it. I've hinted to others like my niece, who has been like a sister to me, as we are close in age (wasn't a good idea) and SO accidentally let it slip that we MAY have problems when his mom asked when we going to have children (which was a BAD idea, she launched into a hypochroniacal speech about how she had SO much trouble conceiving SO, note, she was SIXTEEN, how much trouble could she have had?, she also has four (three at the time) other children, nuff said). Other relatives, like my cousin (who is to be a father in July) and my grandmother have asked (but not been pushy), all I tosay is, someday (secretly wanting to shout, I HOPE NOW). I think making the decision to not tell anyone was the right one at least for us, talking to other TTCers, USUALLY not saying anything was the best way to go, no rude prying questions or well meaning unsolicited advice etc. My advice is, if your not 1000% sure the person you tell is a supportive and private person, I would keep it to yourself. |

| My mother-in-law tricked me into admitting to TTC |
| I'm STILL fuming over this and it happened two months ago!! My husband and I decided in October to start TTC the following cycle. We happened to be in our home state visiting in November.
I was sitting with my mother-in-law and a few of my husband's siblings. Mother-in-law exclaimed "So I heard you're off birth control and trying for a baby! I'm so excited!!" So I assumed my husband had told her, even though we'd agreed to keep quiet about it for a while. So I continued the conversation under that assumption and confirmed that we were trying.
Well it turns out, he told her nothing of the sort. She was just hoping it was true and trying to trick it out of one of us.
I'm so angry!! We were keeping it to ourselves for a reason!! And just as I expected, she had told every single member of his family within 24 hours. So we're being inundated with "How's the baby-making going" phone calls and prying emails. Where's my privacy?? |

| TTC: Support Will Turn to Pity |
| I hate kids--seriously! I was the youngest child by a LOT and I have never even changed a diaper. Then I went and got married at 19...everyone assumed we were pregnant. We weren't. We just had our 10 year anniversary and no kids. Everyone, even my closest friends, are like, aren't trying? Don't you want kids? Is something wrong with you? And of course, about 2 years ago, we did start trying, and I adamantly refused to tell anyone except my best friend. And everyone just kept prying, kept nagging. The only thing they accomplished was to make me STOP wanting to have a baby! Of course, yesterday I just found out that I am pregnant...super conflicted about it! I am now scared to tell our families! Just the thought of them gushing over me, giving me advice turns my stomach. I am more than some 1950s baby machine! |
