Today we had to pass off head-to-toe (including all specialties) assessments. I was partnered with a very nice girl, and of course the instant she touched my abdomen I needed to vomit. So I had to tell her, and thus the instructor supervising us, about my pregnancy.
There are 60 people in my nursing program (I think, might be high 50s, we've had some dropouts down from 64). We take all our classes together, rotate through clinicals together (although we're split into small groups, many groups are at the same hospital), etc. And of course, this being the modern age, we have a Facebook page where we ask questions and make snide remarks about some of our dumber assignments and such.
So naturally, everyone on there (53 of us...) now knows I'm having twins.
This is not what I wanted. I'm so scared of Thursday's ultrasound and of losing one or both of my babies. And everyone in my class, plus probably all of my instructors, will have to know. And although I posted asking them to please not spread the word, I'm naturally terrified one of them will post something in our non-private group, thus announcing my pregnancy to everyone.
The internet is a double-edged sword at times.
But hey, at least I got her back by pointing out that her tongue protrudes asymmetrically...

Do you get butterflies when those words leave your mouth, " I'm having twins." :) Praying for a beautiful ultrasound for ya!
Oh, I so have my fingers crossed for you. What an unfortunate way to be outed.
Ugh, I'm sorry you are outed.
You and I aren't far apart--I'm 6 weeks, 6 days today--and I'm also having twins. Here's hoping things continue to progress well for both of us.
