I freaked out when I started having morning sickness so told my boss at about 9 weeks because I didn't want him to think I was a slacker turning up late every morning and having to invent a different excuse all the time.

Didn't tell anyone else until after the 20 week scan and I was actually convinced that all was going to be OK. Liked it that way - meant friends and family didn't have long to wait.

Funnily enough, before they knew, I got so many comments from people telling me I'd LOST weight. I just said "oh really, that's not what the scales say ... but thanks!"
