Holy crap! Going to loose my mind!
I have kept our ttc path under wraps to most people IRL because I dont want that added pressure of people wondering and knowing. Everyone at work has been harassing me for the last 1.5 years (since we got married) with constant- you pregnant yet? how come? why not? oh you are sick, you must be pregnant. You I see a bump- nope I am just fat thanks though! It drove me crazy before, but now that we are actually ttc it is stressing me out!
I had to admit to a close co-worker that we were ttc yesterday because she was pressuring me to take a new hot yoga class with her (it was a sign up for 10 weeks of classes, once a week). I kept coming up with different excuses (at least 5) and she kept hammering so I finally said, I cant because if I by chance get pregnant quickly I cant go.
When I told DH that I told her, he was like "oh now everyone is going to be asking you even more!!!" At lunch today, 2 other young women were talking about schools to sent future potential kids, I chirped in with my 2 cents on what our plan is- and everyone turned and said, well is that an announcement?!?!? I got mad, and said, nope, but thanks! I then left. If I dont already feel pressure for it to happen, they are making it x10 worse!! If I wear a shirt that is a bit tight, oh she has a bump! arg....
vent over...... I am not doing well on this ttc journey and we just started!!! How do you ladies deal with this!!! I work in a school with 23 other women and one male, this is a constant issue! I just seem to be next in line so they are all anxiously waiting!!!
