Hi everyone! I’m so thankful I found this group. I found out on Friday I was 4 weeks pregnant and I have my first doctor’s appointment on Thursday.
I’m very excited just been taking this weekend to let the news settle in. I’ve told my mum I think I will start telling a few close friends soon. I don’t think I’ll be very good at holding it in. It’s my first time!!

Hey! I’d say keep the news as private as you can, (parents, siblings, partners parents, siblings if you wish) till about 12 weeks. The first three months of pregnancy are very delicate and it’s better to announce once you’re rest assured that everything is okay, ofc it’s completely your choice I’m just a stranger on the internet 😂 but just looking out for you as it’s also my first pregnancy. Regardless, congratulations to you, I wish you a safe and healthy pregnancy. Good luck with everything! ❤️

Thank you! Xx

Yeah I definitely only want to tell close friends who know I have been trying to conceive.

Congratulations!! It's such an exciting time! I'm like you, I struggle to keep it to myself and my theory is to go ahead and tell anyone who you would share all the ups and downs with. There's a bit of a stigma around the whole 12 week mark but the reality is if things don't go as planned your will need the support of those closest to you in the hard times anyway so it makes sense to share this part so they're on the journey with you either way 😊 I've just started getting the first symptoms of morning sickness so decided I won't keep it from my girls any longer as I need them to understand if I'm not feeling flash so I plan to tell them on valentines day with a personalized onesie that says "I love my big sisters ❤️" I can't wait!!!

Omg!! That’s so cute and adorable. Thanks for sharing and taking the time to write this message. Oh wow. Will you film there reaction? They will be soooo happy!
