Losing a baby has kept me from being thrilled and excited to share the news of having a baby. I miscarried and then got pregnant right away again a blessing and surprise all in itself.
I don't feel the need to share publically with everyone that I'm having a baby. The people that I want to know are family and close friends.
My mother in law is saying I'm being selfish and taking away from her because I don't want it made public knowledge.
My previous pregnancy I was only 6 weeks but during that time I felt on top of the world and wanted to tell anyone and everyone who would listen.
This time things feel different. Maybe it's because I never got the time to grieve or maybe because I feel guilty for feeling excited for the news of a new baby when it wasn't too long ago that I lost one.
Family and friends knew about the previous situation as me and my SO were too excited not to share the news.
I need honest opinions as if it's selfish of me to not want the whole world to know my news of expecting a little one. I'm 30 weeks and I feel the people who need to know already know why share it with the whole social media world when there once was a time when we didn't have social media to use to communicate and share news. We actually had to pick up a phone or go to someone's house.
Anyone else feel this way or gone through a similar experience ?
