sorry to hear that. yeah that's why i agree, better to announce to non family after 3 mths. In fact i am even agst my parents or PIL announcing to extended family. bcoz u know they can be v big mouth. Somehow my Inlaws side v big mouth. within a day the whole kampung knew abt my first preg! couldnt believe it.

your superior is so insensitive! my gawd! that time i also announced to my boss only but somehow his assistant knew abt it.. and she was also preggy probably a week earlier than me. guess wat, she went around telling pple that im preggy. Let's call her X.
preson A : hey X, heard u are preggy, congrats!
x: thanks! BTW do u know PrinceSSy is also preggy.??
can u imagine she went around telling EVERYBODY and within days the whole office knew abt it. when i asked how they heard of it, they just said "oh X told me!"
and i was only in my 5th week. She didnt even leave me a chance to tell/share my joy with others.
So sad right.
X later found out she was carrying twins(Fraternal/Long Feng Tai some more) but miscarried within the 3 mths. not long after she left the co. i was angry initially but then i decided to forget things, coz she's so poor thing... everytime she sees my tummy growing bigger, im sure she feels sad.
after that incident, i did ponder abt the pantang thingie and how much truth there is in that myth. but i think im a logical and rational person, find it hard to accept anything that has no scientific explanation leh. However, i saw what she went through, having to explain to everybody abt what happened to her. so i learnt a valuable lesson.
what do u girls think?
