Pregnancy tips Keeping Your Pregnancy Secret The First Trimester

I recall being in this dilemma. I was so happy to be pregnant after years of infertility and miscarriage. Then, when you're definitely pregnant, you don't want to tell anyone because of the risk of miscarriage. It's hard to go through that when everyone knows about the pregnancy - so you keep it a secret. This article deals with this dilemma:

From the article:

Many women like to refrain from going public about their pregnancy until the three-month mark, when the risk of miscarriage is said to significantly reduce and they've had that reassuring first scan, which (hopefully) not only shows them that the baby's ok, but which gives irrefutable evidence that there is, indeed a baby in there, and they're not just imagining it/going crazy/getting fat!

You might choose not to tell family and friends until this point because you don't want them to get too excited until you get this first all-clear.

And you may decide not to tell your work colleagues if you have worries about how you'll be treated once people know that you're pregnant, or even about the safety of your job.

Or perhaps you just don't want people to know yet, because it's a lovely experience for you and your partner to share alone, even just for a little while.

Three whole months of having your own lovely secret, without those well-meaning relatives telling you what you should and shouldn't be eating, drinking, doing or thinking... Bliss!
Hmm, is that woman pregnant or just fat?

Symptoms in the first three months

But then Mother Nature, in her infinite wisdom; (and demonstrating a cracking sense of humour); ensures that if you're going to have pregnancy symptoms, then the ones which are most obvious and difficult to hide (except perhaps for the baby bump itself), will occur during those first three, special months.
