Why do so many people hide their pregnancies? I can understand from bosses, or people that may not be close (work acquaintances etc) but why hide it from your friends?? Especially if they guess.. I could understand not mentioning it, but to go to so much trouble to conceal it is a very strange concept to me.. Especially til 12 weeks.. If you had a M/C wouldn't you want the support of friends? I am also of the opinion that there is never a 'safe' time, so the til 12 weeks seems strange to me.. I hope I don't sound rude, I'm genuinely curious..
