I have not read through all of the threads but enough to see that I diagree from what most are saying. Depending on where you live and your social circle, the expected age for marriage and kids can vary greatly. What matters it that your friends do wish they were married and starting families and that you feel this would hurt their feelings. I would share your news, but make sure that being pregnant doesn't become the only thing you talk about. There are some women who speak as if nothing is going on in the world except their first pregnancy. Granted it often feels that way, but it is important to remember it is not as big of a deal to others if that makes sense. I have been in a similar situation. I am now 30 and pregnant with my 3rd and I definitely have friends who are happy for me, but I try to make sure that our conversations are still about their lives and other things and not just me, my kids, and my big belly.
