When did you start telling people?

I found out I’m pregnant yesterday, and want to tell everyone. I’m 5 weeks tomorrow and I know to wait until the 12 week mark but I don’t know how long I can hold it in. Thanks!

I told my in-laws @3 months, sisters @4 and everyone else when they found out …. If they saw me or when I invited them to my baby shower a month prior.

After a miscarriage I was skeptical about sharing so I wanted to wait.

Honestly it comes down to why you feel comfortable with and most wait till after the first trimester when the risk drops drastically

Because of recurrent early losses I didn't until 17 weeks.

I just started telling people I’m 17 weeks

I told my parents, my fiancé’s parents, and my sister in law as soon as I found out because my fiancé was deploying and his family was my biggest support system. I didn’t announce it publically until 13-14 weeks, basically in the second trimester, mostly because I had a prior miscarriage and most miscarriages happen in the first trimester

I wait until my first ultrasound which was around 8-9 weeks

I told everyone as soon as I found out.

At six months. 🤣🤣🤣

There wasn’t too much reason to wait at that point.

Anyone else struggling with deciding when to have 2nd child?

Or if you already have then how did you know you felt ready/ it was the right time. My husband is ready to try in the next few months if I am ready but I really can't decide what age gap I want. I feel the decision for me is complicated by previous baby loss, difficult pregnancy and traumatic birth and complications after birth...
I definitely know i want a sibling for my child and I'm not done yet but its more a matter of when?!

Postpartum Stories 💐

Hi Mamas, I’d love to hear your postpartum stories. 🩵

What’s something that really stuck with you emotionally during those first weeks or months?

The good, the bad, the unexpected… what do you still remember?

I struggled with prenatal + postpartum anxiety myself, and I know how much those early experiences can stay with you.
