Question ??

Noooo not telling family. I don’t feel comfortable having them up in my business. I want privacy from them. But I will tell my close friends because I wanna be able to text them updates and them to make me laugh!

I'll tell family but I also am fortunate that I have respectful family that will honor my wish for them all to stay home until we message that they can come meet lil bit after he's here

I don’t plan on telling anyone except my parents so they can take care of my dog lol! Otherwise I know people will be blowing up my phone and I will probably not be responding and then everyone’s not happy

i do unfortunately not have many people in my life that have respected my boundaries throughout my pregnancy or have had nasty comments thrown at me for my decision as a mom my fiancé and I decided were not telling absolutely anyone baby is here until we are ready. We are more private people anyway it really is whatever works for your family. I remember my cousin invited me to the birth of her first there were probably 10 of us in the hospital with her she loved it!

@Ellen that is very reasonable!!

@Teela wow, that is very hard to have nowadays! I’m glad you’re lucky and they are respectful.

@Amber EXACTLY!!! Then they’re not happy and people would be blowing up your phone!

@Amanda same! It seems like they are not respecting the boundaries I have said but they really think I will let them slide. No. That is not how it works. Who cares about the nasty comments because same people will always TALK with the mothers decision but that’s on them 😘. I am proud of you for picking that decision and not telling no one until you guys are ready! And OMG, that is a lot of people but each person is different 😭😂 I am definitely not the one to have that many people. I just want my man and my mom in there, that’s all!

I don’t plan on telling anyone except my mom, my husband’s parents, one or two friends, and my boss (just to officially start my maternity leave) until he’s born and I’m ready for visitors. My husband also has very clear instructions from me to not tell me if anyone shows up at the hospital until I’m ready to see them and I’m not planning on being on my phone either

I plan on not telling anyone until after the baby is here however, my wife .. smh lol. Bless her soul. She will probably be trying to tell everyone n keep them updated which I’m going to have to talk to her about that 😂

I only told my mom so that we had someone to take care of our dogs. Everyone else found out days after birth

@El aww you made me laugh 😅🤣🤣, I felt that tho, I would have to tell my partner the same thing if I go silent mode 😭🤣 they be too excited

@Amanda did people get mad ?

@Sarah you got it all planned out 😊 and yes the least you will want to do is be on your phone. Will you be telling the hospital no visitors ?

Nope! And I made it clear beforehand we weren’t doing a million visitors immediately, luckily people understood. I had my baby while having no covid so no one wanted to come over anyways 😂
