Excited and anxious.

Exactly the same boat xx

Yes definitely! I told the people closest to me when I turned 6 weeks as I just felt awful and needed some support. It’s definitely helped. The way I try to see it is I’d tell them regardless of if something happened I’d want them around me🥰 congratulations🥹🩵

@Imi So glad it’s not just me! Other than the anxiety, how are you feeling? X

@Sophie I think we’re going to tell close people after the 6 weeks scan as I deffo feel like I need support. Thank you 🥰 Congratulations to you too! When are you due? X

I told my family as soon as I took the test n was to excited to not share the news! Same with all my pregnancys

September group here, but your message popped up. I told my mum, my dad and my 2/3 close friends the same day I found out (3w 4d) and it’s been great every single pregnancy. My first pregnancy ended in miscarriage at 6weeks and them knowing helped me having someone to vent to and that could support me. My second and third pregnancy (I’m currently 16 weeks and have a toddler at home) are going great, but the anxiety is bad in the first trimester, and having people you can confide in, show the pregnancy test line progression etc, is a huge moral support. Whether things go well or badly, having people you love knowing will be a blessing, personal experience ❤️

@Veronica Thank you for this, this reassures me that it’s not necessarily a bad idea to tell family early on. So sorry to hear you lost your first though 💔

@Ellie-May We literally wanted to tell my partners parents the day after we got the positive test, was so difficult not to 😂

Unfortunately we don’t talk about struggle of conceiving and loss as much as we should. Sharing this type of pain makes us all also more close to each other, and normalises all the hurdles in a journey, that if not shared, can feel incredibly lonely! But with the right people and support, it’s a little bit better 🥰 And I’m ok now thank you, with a wonderful boy and a little girl on the way, all I can think of is that I’m very fortunate 🤍

Another thing I thought of, is that by telling people I made it so much more real!! And that almost made it a positive way of living the pregnancy, sharing the joys and the excitement of finding out is a wonderful feeling and should be a enjoyed! Pass all the love and positive vibes to your little embryo from day 1 ❤️❤️ Wish you the best of luck in your journey and that everything goes wonderfully!

@Veronica Definitely should be spoken about more but obviously it’s a hard subject to talk about it so I also understand why. I had no idea how many pregnancies resulted in miscarriages until now, so obviously that’s now something I’m anxious about. You’re right, it is a very lonely journey at the start! Feel that already, especially as we’ve not told anyone, but somehow feel better for posting on here and knowing I’m not alone 🥰 Glad you’re okay now! Is your little boy excited about having a baby sister?

@Veronica Love this way of thinking! Thank you so much ❤️ Same goes to you! X

To be honest, not great I’m quite anxious. I’ve had a previous miscarriage and it’s all I can think about xx

Also in the same boat - having our 6 week scan on Friday 18th Excited but nervous! We told immediate family as it is an IVF baby so not having to keep the news all to ourselves!

@Imi So sorry to hear this. Completely understand why you’re feeling anxious, hopefully everything goes smoothly for you this time 🙏🏽🤞🏽

@Freya Eeeek how exciting! Hope the scan goes well! Must feel like such a special milestone after your IVF journey 🥰

I hope it does, and I hope it does for you too xx

I told close family members xx

Wait until the scan to tell family x

@Khadija Yeah I think we’re going to tell them after we do the early scan x

Hey, I just found out I’m pregnant with my first est due date 12th December ❤️

@Olivia Congratulations! 🥳 How are you feeling? X
