I mean I’m not famous and don’t have to worry about gossip mags, but the process for any sort of adoption / surrogate / non traditional baby making situation is so fraught that I understand just keeping it hella private. I’m sure there is baggage we just don’t know that led to that kind of secrecy. It’s relatable.

I’m sure there is baggage we just don’t know that led to that kind of secrecy. It’s relatable. I’m not famous and I kept my most recent pregnancy secret from everyone until she arrived, unless you saw me. That includes parents, siblings, grandparents, best friends. I genuinely have been burnt enough that I really didn’t believe it would happen for me until she was here. So I really didn’t want people to know or to talk about it.

This Teen Mom hid her entire pregnancy and hid the birth of a child all because she was the reason for the divorce and doesn't want to make it worse by letting the world know she got pregnant while the baby daddy was married.

MH is in the military, and when we were stationed in Japan we knew a woman who was pregnant and swore everyone to social media secrecy. I didn’t know her well but we are Facebook friends. After the baby was born she posted a photo of her newborn with a onesie that said #5. And the comments were NUTS… apparently she had told NO ONE at home except her mother that she was pregnant. So all her siblings, aunts, cousins, friends, etc. were all like WHAT?!
I have no idea how she pulled it off with 4 other children at home, during phone calls and whatnot, but for some reason it’s what she wanted.

So I need to not to. This is the shit that - erroneously - would send me into panic attack sobs a decade ago. Those wounds get revealed even all this time later. eta Uncharitable to her, not you of course. You're absolutely right.

Also, with total projection of my own family dynamics, I would be devastated if my sister or brother had a baby and didn't tell me ahead of time.
It would just break my heart. And it would destroy my parents.

There were a lot of people I didn’t tell about DS until he was born, paperwork signed, and back in our home state. We had gone through a couple failed adoptions and I just didn’t have it in me to tell people any more updates or statuses. Not everyone reacts well or appropriately to news like that. Looking back honestly the amount of stress people who did know about DS before hand put on me, I would be more private about it if I did it again. Like I know people meant well but that shit messed me up.
Not all family is safe with information is unfortunately a hard lesson I’ve learned.

I didn’t announce my latest pregnancy until she was here. I didn’t want to deal with comments from the peanut gallery about a big family or “finally getting a girl.” I almost didn’t tell my dad because, if you go 9 months without seeing me, do you really need to know? (he lives within driving distance). But guilt got the better of me.

It would be so weird to hide the physical reality of pregnancy for me, just bc I talk to/see my family a lot. Also, I puke from wk 5 to wk 30.

And being moms but never being pregnant are probably the only life circumstances we have in common. Lol.

I saw a headline that Kathy Hilton (and the rest of Paris's family) didn't know about Paris's baby until it was a week old. At first I was like "oh, I didn't know Paris and Kathy weren't close" but then Paris explained it like this and I respect that: "It was really nice to have that with Carter, be our own journey together. I just feel like my life has been so public, and I've never really had anything be just mine." I mean, I could understand not having them visit for that reason. But not even telling them the baby was BORN?! I think Kathy Hilton is toxic AF, and people are snowed by her derpy facade. And I think you see that in some of Paris' choices now that she's an adult and wanting some distance. I love that you used the word derpy. I use it daily to describe the dog. Lol.

The Lawrence brothers started a podcast, Brotherly Love Pod, and today was their first episode. It’s interesting. Matt is entranced with Elon Musk and I don’t get it.

This foreign born very recent Oscar nominee is being called out by students in his high school for being a raging homophobic bully who would beat up gay classmates.

Kailyn Lowry Timing was close but this doesn’t end up being true. She also has not mentioned the new baby she hid. Kid was born in November, we know it’s name and everything but she’s still never admitted she was pregnant and used her kids to say she wasn’t pregnant. She also got pregnant with one of her other kids while married to someone else. She mostly embarrassed she had unprotected sex with someone she had pretty much just met who was coming out of a marriage while she’s also a couple of weeks out of a relationship.

For all the talk of "illegal" acts when it comes to securing the Oscar nomination for an actress, it was just gaming the system that was already in place. No nomination is going to be rescinded and extra names will not be added. No changes will be made to the process going forward.
Andrea Riseborough/To Leslie (and just as I told you, the nomination was not rescinded and no changes to the system were made)
