I’ve told a few close friends when they have offered me alcohol and in tuning it down they would have known anyway as I was quite open about TTC
I told my parents as they offered me alcohol and couldn’t get around it😂 after our early scan Saturday we are going to tell close family/ friends and our son then not tell anyone else until 12 week scan x
I’m terrible! I started with just 1 of my closest friends. Then my mum. The. I thought I’ll just tell my sisters. Then I told the rest of my close friends. Then my daughter guessed. I was actually going to wait to tell my dad until after a scan but then he offered us all a free holiday next year on him for his 60th so I had to tell him I’d have a baby too! Ahaha. I totally understand not telling people too soon. But for me I just feel like - if something was to go wrong (touch wood it doesn’t) then I’ll have support. I havent told other friends or people who just know me. It’s purely very close friends x
We've only told my side of the family so far, only as a pick me up as my mother has just been diagnosed with terminal cancer. But my partners side we are waiting until we hit the second trimester. X
We tell who we want to but just try and tell parents first out of respect. I think that if something went wrong am I expected to hide it if I've hidden I'm pregnant? I feel it's really outdated and comes from a women should be seen and not heard era where the world doesn't want to know our problems. Sorry if that's a bit ranty!
We’ve decided to wait until 10 weeks when we will be offered an early NIPT to rule out chromosome issues, we’ve had 3 previous losses including a second trimester loss for a chromosome issue so it’s mainly we just don’t want our family and friends to get their hopes up for us because the losses have been so tough 🥺 I would always tell people closest to me if we were going through a loss anyway but when you’ve had multiple i just want the news to be happier this time and not overshadowed by a ‘what if’ something goes wrong 🤞🏻😔 I know there’s a risk at any point in pregnancy but ruling out chromosome issues feels more secure for us 🙏🏻
Some have already guessed, but I’d rather keep it a secret 🤫
