I told my sister we’re TTC, and I have to admit, I feel awkward about it.
My mother has been talking about grandkids a lot lately, saying how she can’t wait to be a grandmother. I want to tell her we’re trying so I can get some information from her. I know she had great difficulty getting pregnant with me and my siblings.
It’s just that I’m worried about telling her for some reason. I don’t know why. It can’t be because of it being the whole sex thing, cause I am an adult and she already knows I’m sexual active. Plus, I’ve been with him for 7 years, so it’s not like its some short relationship.
Why do I feel so awkward about telling her? (Even though I want to)
Did you speak to your family about it?
Did you find you talked about TTC a lot, or was it awkward at all?
It’s sort of hard to keep to yourself because it is a huge part of your thought process until you do conceive and then it is all about the pregnancy. Maybe the reason you feel awkward is the "trying to" part. As though this is a test. You might be nervous about how long it will be before you can say "success!" Don’t put that kind of pressure on yourself. It will be exciting for your family members to know that you are looking to start a family. And your Mom might have some very valuable information for you. If you want to tell her, you should!
I did tell my mom and my sister and they were so excited!
Best wishes!!!!

Could be in your mind that you think she might put pressure on you to get pregnant right now, and that in your head if you don’t right away you might disappoint her. (not saying you will.)
I think maybe subconsciously you are not wanting to get her hopes up just yet.
No I never talked to my family about TTC. Because for us we wanted a child but if it happened it happened if it didn’t it didn’t, and so we just wanted to enjoy "trying" for the baby. I also didn’t want someone else’s words of wisdom in the bedroom with me.

Well, if you’re already married, the logical next step is that you will be trying to conceive.
You can tell your mom or you can not, that is completely up to you and there is nothing wrong with doing either.
