Im just 9 weeks and not ready to announce yet, but relatives and colleagues keep asking when are u planning a baby and all. Honestly its getting awkward to dodge. How do u handle these questions politely without revealing? need some smart replies yaar.
Honestly just say whatever keeps you comfortable yaar. A light 'haha lots of planning happening' and change topic. Dont stress over nosy relatives, your privacy matters more than their curiosity.
I totally understand how draining these questions get, specially when you are dealing with your own feelings. Be gentle with yourself. A short polite answer is enough, you dont have to explain anything to anyone.
Oh the constant questions in joint family na, I know the feeling. I just smile and say 'jab hoga tab batayenge'. My MIL also backed me up once which helped. You set your own boundary nicely.
You dont owe anyone an answer if you dont want to share. A simple 'we'll tell you when there's news' works fine. People ask a lot, learn to brush it off, it really helped me stay sane.
