Getting ready to tell family/friends
I am 12 weeks pregnant and my NT ultrasound was normal. I got off all my meds 1 week ago, and I am now allowing myself to feel some relief around this journey. Two of my best friends who also conceived through IVF know and have been supporting me for the past year. And I am now starting to plan to tell some other people like my sisters, cousins, and close friends. I am going to tell work at the end of the month. And then I plan to enlist the help of my cousins who live close by to tell my parents eventually. I am so nervous because I am the only one who has done solo parenting by choice. I have vaguely talked about it in the past but now its a reality and if its shocking me as the person doing it, I know it will be a shock to my family and friends. I do anticipate everyone will be supportive because I am older, financially stable, and am very good with children. But how do you even start the conversation? I am hyper independent and super private, and I am feeling quite vulnerable. I really don't want anyone to bring me down or ask too many quesrions because I am already so exhausted. Help me!
