Sofia Richieshared why she decided to keep her pregnancy private for as long as she did.
I was about four weeks pregnant.
I was on a trip to Milan for fashion week, and I was going to the Prada show.
I was doing a really quick 24-hour turnaround, and I felt terrible but didnt think much of it.
I thought it was jet lag.
“So he didnt really flinch when I said I was checking.
I was taking one of those really crappy at-home tests, and there was the faintest of lines.
I was so used to seeing negatives that I knew when something looked even kind of different.
“When we turned over all three tests at the same time they were all positive.
He was so excited, and we both cried,” she shared.
“It was crazy and overwhelming and so hard not to scream it from the rooftops.
But knowing I was so early, I was so protectiveeven with my friends.
Sofia waited eight weeks before revealing her pregnancy to their parents and grandparents.
She recalled breaking the news by telling them she’d brought gifts from Milan Fashion Week.
“Everyone was like ‘Ooooh, Hermes!'”
That’s how we told all of our parents.
For me, it was really important to protect our mental health and our space as a couple.
You’ve gotta do what’s best for you.
Congrats, Sofia and Elliot!
