It's hard not to say anything

I just found out I'm pregnant.  With first child at age 34. I'm finding it really hard to wait the 3 months to tell people.  How do I keep it a secret  for so long

Congrats mommy! I'm a FTM also! My hubby and I found out right at 4 weeks! We initially wanted to keep it completely between the 2 of us until our first appointment and ultrasound at 12 weeks buttttt week 6 hit and with it came horrible morning sickness! There was no way I could hide it-we decided to tell family and then I ended up needing to get some IV fluids at the ER where I work so family turned into close friends and coworkers so we just tried to keep it to that until our first appointment and ultrasound and then we announced it to extended family and social media! I love all the support we had throughout this entire pregnancy as it hasn't been easy! But do what you feel is right and best for you (: congrats again mommy!

First off congratulations, your gonna be a mom..YAY!!!♡ I am a FTM to and I am 30 years old been married with hubby 9 years this april coming. So after trying for so long we wanted to tell everyone but we waited. We only told my parents and his parents as soon as we found out. So we got lots of support from them. Then after tge 3 months and or first ultrasound we told everyone♡ So maybe you can find two ppl you trust to keep it secret, like parents or, siblings and just tell them, that way you can have support and you have someone to talk to.♡best wishes to you momma♡

Plan a suprised announcement party that will keep you busy. Make it seem like it's just a friendly get together and then just nonchalantly drop it on m them.

Don't wait unless you think that you won't tell anyone if something were to go wrong. That seems like the only reason people wait it because if there is a miscarriage then they don't want it her people to know. I told everyone right away because it isn't like if something happened it would be kept a secret

Look at it this way the more you tell the more support you have. I have always told right away with my 3.
