Thanks everyone for your input. So if there is no problems at 14 weeks (last scan will be 12 weeks) then do you think it is safe? I know unfortunately that no-one is ever guaranteed a safe passage through pregnancy. I am a size 12, this is my first pregnancy, and I am hoping to keep it a secret for that long.

I know a lot of women are busting at the seems to tell people, but hubby and I are still getting used to the idea and would like some more time together where no one else knows to talk things through and enjoy it.
