Telling people?
Hi everyone,
This is a bit of a random topic, but I just wondered whether any of you have told people that you are TTC?
I love my mum to bits, we are very very close, and I tell her everything, so recently when she asked me if we're going to start a family soon, I told her that we were trying. Anyway, she has taken the news with such a massive burst of excitement, and seems to have told the whole world, despite me telling her not to! I got a text from my auntie about it (who is my mums twin sister, so to be honest, I sort of figured that she would tell her- so I wasn't too bothered by that!) then my cousin was upset a few weeks ago, so my mum also told her (which means that my cousin will have told her twin sister!), and then she made a comment the other day, and when probed about it a little further, she told me that she told my nan, who has subsequently informed my uncle, who has told his wife and my cousins and their families. Oh it also appears that my brother and his girlfriend know too! I am not angry,(well- I am a little bit, but I know her intentions were good, so I can't be TOO angry!) because I know that she is just really really excited, and I know that she'll be the best Grandma in the whole wide world, and i'm really pleased that she's so excited- but I'm just feeling quite a bit of pressure now! We've only been trying for two months, and I just don't want people second guessing whether I may or may not be pregnant, or thinking it's okay to discuss it, just because it appears to be common knowledge. Also, I feel a bit weird about it, because on a basic level, it pretty much means that my husband and I are having quite a lot of sex- which is not something I really want my family to all be thinking about!! Argh!
So I basically just wondered whether anyone else had shared the news that they were TTC, and what peoples feelings are about it?

I haven't had anyone ask, which I thought I would, but I had an awful pg with dd, and she came 10 weeks early, so a lot of people think I'll wait a long time to have no 2.
