Bumpdate 🩷 Why I kept my pregnancy a secret 🤐

Almost 28 weeks pregnant, lemon8 is the first to see it! 🫶🏽 I didn’t tell most people cause I wanted to be fare enough since I was having some health complications, I didn’t want no one gossiping about me.

I probably would still wait till I’m 30 weeks before really announcing on my bigger platform. I liked how peaceful this pregnancy was and I didn’t have anyone in business unless you saw me everyday! I didn’t want people in my business, no monitoring spirits, protected from the evil eye. It’s nice to see who really cares. 🩷

Did you keep your pregnancy a secret and why?

I kept my pregnancy a secret (TW)
Two years ago I got out of a toxic relationship and accepted the fact I would never have another baby even though I desperately wanted another one because I want all my kids in my 20s not in my 30s. December 13th 2023 I found out I was pregnant with my current boyfriend and I was over the moon.

Inappropriate comments I received during pregnancy
I couldn’t believe the comments people say to you when you’re pregnant. Especially being that much more sensitive and emotional, you can only imagine how certain comments would be upsetting. 1. Someone told me to not show off my bump, in other words hide my bump from others who might get jealous.

Best months to get pregnant and why!!!
• Get pregnant early spring. Morning sickness hits, but the weather is cool and you’re drinking hot teas and spending lots of time in bed. • Spring arrives, not many know yet! You’re still looking cute in your denim shorts, maybe bloated but cute lol • Summer hits, and so does the lil bump! Cutie
