Reasons Why You Should Not Announce Your Pregnancy To The Public.
The ability to get pregnant and to successfully deliver a baby is always a gift from God. There are a lot of women who become so ecstatic about the experience of being pregnant that they don’t think twice about telling their friends, family members, partners, and even strangers on social media that they are expecting. It’s possible that these are the things that should be done, but doing them is not something that is recommended.
It is recommended that you share the news of your pregnancy with your spouse and any close family members, but it is not recommended that you make the information public. Because your baby is growing day by day, your bump will start to show at the appropriate period throughout your pregnancy. This is because pregnancy has a way of exposing itself. The following are some of the reasons why you shouldn’t tell everyone that you’re pregnant just yet.
1. The dread of developing problems at an early stage
The first three months of pregnancy are notoriously challenging for most expectant mothers. A lot of pregnant women have symptoms such as morning sickness, fatigue, nausea, and so on. In addition, the first trimester is the most common time for a pregnancy to end in a miscarriage. When you announce your pregnancy to the world before the conclusion of the first trimester, it will be extremely difficult for you to recover from the disappointment if the pregnancy does not result in a live birth. As a result, it is best to wait until the end of the first trimester before making the news public.
2. Take into consideration other helpless ladies
I have no doubt that you have seen ladies who are wracked with anxiety about their inability to conceive or who are grieving the death of a baby or a miscarriage. Imagine, therefore, the impact that your announcement will have on them, particularly when you start posting pictures of your growing baby belly all over social media. Because pregnancy cannot be concealed in any way, of course people will see you regardless of what you do. However, show some consideration at times. Do not publish too many images of your growing baby belly on social media, since doing so may be seen as bragging or boasting.
3. To keep from having to answer a lot of questions
People are going to experience some kind of anxiousness as a direct result of your decision to make your pregnancy public knowledge. They will not stop asking you what your due date is, who the father is (particularly if you are single), and if the baby will be a boy or a girl, which will make your pregnancy seem like it is dragging on for an interminable amount of time. You, too, will feel worried as a result of all these queries. However, when you shock them by showing up with a baby bulge that is already enormous, they will be surprised, and at that point in time, you will be due to give birth.
4. Fallacious beliefs
Last but not least, there is a misconception that divulging the fact that you are pregnant to the general public can result in the miscarriage of your child since some of the individuals to whom you reveal this information do not have your best interests in mind. Some of them may act as if they are glad for you, but deep inside, they will feel horrible or wish that they were the ones who were pregnant. They will just appear to be happy for you.
