I believe you should tell whoever you want whenever you want, there are no guarantees and you should share the magic with the people you love while you can. I lost my last baby at 18 weeks and I’m glad that the people I love got to share our joy while it lasted xx
@Veronica I feel this so much. My friend has had some awful experiences sadly and she said not telling anyone was the hardest. The way I see it is that I am now a mum no matter what happens and I want my family and friends to know. We’ve basically told everyone who we would tell regardless. I think whatever feels right to people is ultimately the right way to do it. I’ve loved telling people, it makes it feel so much more exciting and enjoyable for me xx
I’m 7+4. I’ve not told anyone but my husband yet. I’ve got completely mixed feelings about it. On one hand, my husband and I having this little secret has bought us closer than ever. But on the other hand, I hate hiding this from my parents and sister. We plan on telling them after my first appointment in 2 days. If I ever do this again I won’t keep it such a secret. It’s especially hard not telling my sister. She’s getting married a month before I’m due and I’m so scared she’ll react badly to the news. She’s made so many comments about me not getting pregnant before her wedding but I’m also 34 and don’t want to wait any longer. We also run our own restaurant of which I’m usually very active in. It’s very, very hard not telling the staff why I’m struggling to work because I’ll probably throw up on a customer. 😂 Hopefully we get good news on Monday and I can start letting people know.
I’m 10 weeks and we’ve told parents only. I’ll tell others after the 12 week scan xx
I had a miscarriage in November with my second pregnancy at 8 weeks and now I just feel so guarded about this pregnancy. I look forward to passing the 8 week milestone, having a scan shortly after and sharing with my nearest and dearest. 🤍
I’ve had 5 miscarriages, so I’m going to keep it a secret for as long as I physically can😅 Ive told my partner, best friend and parents because I’ll need their support if things go west again xx
Just my partner and my dentist haha I keep telling my 14 month old if that counts. I’ll tell family and close friends after 12 week scan and everyone else after 20 week scan x
7 weeks and I told my dentist and my beautician. 😅 But only because I’m having dental surgery, and my face peels have to be pregnancy safe ones now. I’ll probably tell family at 5 months like I did last time.
I tested positive on Friday and worked out I was 8 weeks! Should have put 2 + 2 together a few weeks ago! Obviously my partner knows, and I have told my beautician as it may affect treatments. I’m trying to not tell anyone else until I have at least spoken / seen a midwife but think I will tell close family next weekend. I may have to tell work as I feel extremely ill atm..
Last year we didn’t tell anyone early for the fear of something going wrong, and we ended up miscarrying at 7 weeks and I wish I had told people and celebrated it while I could. instead I just shared news that I had miscarried with family that didn’t even know I was pregnant. I’m 7 weeks pregnant again and we are sharing with family this week. My mindset now is I want to celebrate and enjoy every minute while I have it. These are people I would tell if something went wrong anyway so would rather have those joyous moment as long as possible! ❤️
I told pretty much everyone in my circle of people and family members, I started sharing the news as soon as I got pregnant and told more people when I had my early scan at 6w… so yeah around 30 people already know and I’m 7w3d. I better not be having bad news or I have a lot of people to let know 😂 Jokes aside, in my first ever pregnancy I didn’t tell anyone but y family, and had a miscarriage, and then I felt the need to tell friends and people, almost as a way of opening up to feel better and get over it. My second (successful) pregnancy I realised that waiting 12 weeks was just not for me so I opened up and I got sooo much positivity, so I decided to do the same this time and don’t regret it! I hate feeling lonely in the first trimester, with all the justified stress, I need people around to support and listen to me😍 highly recommended
