When to tell others
Hi. I've been TTC for 12 years with 2 losses. I'm part of a loss and infertility group and befriend some people in it. I finally got pregnant and hope this will be my rainbow baby. I know it's hard to hear about other's pregnancy news. Also I'm only 7w right now, and I don't plan to tell my parents until im 20 weeks after the anatomy scan. When should I tell the girls in the group that I'm pregnant?
Side note: I had another friend asking if i was pregnant and i said I'm working on it. I dont want to say yes or no as i don't want to lie.

I would tell people whenever it feels good for you to tell people. I don’t think you need to wait at all, especially with people whose support you would really want if things didn’t go to plan. But likewise I totally understand if you do want to wait with telling some people. Personally I told people earlier after our loss. I needed the support. Of course it can be hard to hear someone else’s happy news, but maybe just do it in a text or so so that the others don’t have to deal with it in real time. Also give people space if they need it/ can’t be around you. As you know it’s not personal if you being pregnant affects them…
@Eva people in my entourage have been unsupportive and mean and made it awful for me after my 2 losses, and that's why i dont want to tell anyone.
Thx for the texting tip. I'll do that.
