I am pregnant! How to Tell Others?

Hello!

Here is an article I wrote based on your assignment:

The news of your interesting situation often comes as a complete surprise to the woman herself, regardless of whether it is an accidental or planned pregnancy. True, the confusion quickly passes and for the most part, expectant mothers perceive their new situation as good news. Well, after visiting a doctor, you have dispelled your last doubts, you can share the good news with others. It's actually not as easy as it seems.

Call your husband...

Regardless of your relationship with the future father of the child, it is advisable first of all to notify him of the upcoming changes. Agree, it will be unpleasant if he learns this stunning news from your friends or parents.

If your dad, of course, will be happy, especially if his daughter is happy, but his first reaction may resemble that of his husband.

And by the way, your mother can guess everything long before the message, especially if you live in the same apartment. So it seems like everything is not so complicated.

Breaking the news to a father is harder than breaking the news to a mother. If at this moment the husband is nearby, then the father’s gaze will clearly read: “Well, now this scoundrel will not escape my daughter.”

No matter what your relationship is, you will have to break this news to your future grandparents. If you are afraid of their inadequate reaction, you can entrust this important mission to your husband. He will find the right approach to his parents.

In general, no matter what kind of relatives you get, you can always find a common language with them by showing restraint and prudence.

It is worth noting that close relatives often perceive such news much more enthusiastically than future grandparents. This is due to the fact that they are not involved in your family problems and will be able to look at your pregnancy without prejudice.

Considering public opinion, this news should be hidden from work colleagues as long as possible. Otherwise, not only will you have to constantly listen to endless monologues about someone’s birth, but also strangers will try to touch your stomach and find out details of your personal life.

Of course, it is absolutely not necessary to tell everyone you meet about your interesting situation, but sometimes pregnancy can be used for selfish purposes. For example, when it is very difficult to stand in transport or in a store it is so stuffy that it is impossible to stand in line. Reach out to those around you. No normal person would dare refuse you.

I hope this article was helpful and provided tips on how to best inform your loved ones about your pregnancy. Good luck to you!
