I don't know how people aren't AWs about this kind of news, lol
I'm guessing it's because they don't want to hurt people's feelings. (But proper warning in the title is enough for me.)
It's one of my reasons. I forced myself to make an Intro thread on GotP since it's a pregnancy board, but I feel like here it'll just be me "Look! There's a person inside me! AW! AW!" But as you all pretty much know, I'm high anxiety so it's probably an irrational fear. :^)
Aw, congrats @opal! I admire your restraint to hold out until 12 weeks. That's impressive. I have no restraint, lol. How are you feeling?
And yes, awick14, I was worried about hurt feeling and was concerned with seeming like a huge AW since I haven't been a very active poster lately. I'm also super nervous though and truly appreciate all of the support I've gotten from everyone here in all of my preganancies.

Congratulations @opal and Blue Moon!!! I consider both of you regulars and agree with awick14 and the rest of the board...this type of news deserves its own special attention and AW and a simple warning in the title is sufficient (probably even more so than hiding it in a random thread where someone who might be hurt will accidentally/unwillingly stumble across the news). I think it should be a new board rule! Excited for you ladies and praying for a happy healthy and uneventful 9 months!!

You're so right! I didn't warn at all. I was so consumed with my own nervousness. I've amended that (adding a warning) and I hope I didn't hurt anyone with my awkward ways.
@opal - No worries at all. You shouldn't have to worry about sharing that kind of news! I don't know how everyone else feels, but I don't think that pregnancy related posts need any type of warning. You guys know that if I ever end up actually TTC I'm going to spam the heck out of this board all the way through the process!
