Thanks very much for your response. For this article, I am looking for
all types of experiences people have had with this situation -- not
wanting to or not being able to tell others about a pregnancy.
I would be very interested in learning more about your situation, your
thoughts, and when you did/will actually reveal your pregnancy.
I think a look at the various situations (and the accompanying thoughts
and emotions) which prompt a woman to keep news of her pregnancy hidden
will make for a fascinating article.
I would welcome a private email from you (or anyone else) at
DWFiedler@aol.com if you care to share more information about your
particular situation.
Thanks again for your response.
