Telling people
Hi girls, congrats to all!!
I’m 9w+3d and I’ve told a couple of my closest friends (straight away) and my parents just today. I feel like I’ve jinxed myself after telling my parents today and I’m getting in my head about whether it was the right thing to do. I know there’s no right or wrong and you dont necessarily have to wait until the 12 week scan. But I’ve felt really lonely and it didn’t feel right my parents not knowing.
So I’m wondering…
Who have you told and at what point did you tell them?
Has anyone ever told people too soon and regretted it?
Just looking to hear about other people’s experiences here. TIA!! Xx

I wish I didn't tell my mom because not even a congratulations did I get from her. Rather I received was "I thought you tied your tubes " or "another one I thought you were done". So yes regret telling anyone in general.
Hey, congratulations:)
I’m 16w 4d now. I was super nervous about telling people as didn’t want to jinx it either, told a few (2-3 )close friends straight away but waited til the 12 week scan to tell my parents.
I completely understand how you feel as I really wanted to tell them earlier and I felt so guilty for not telling them and acting like there was nothing new in my life but I was stubborn about waiting til the fist scan. :)
I will tell my colleagues in the next few weeks as I’m starting to show now so can’t hide it any longer at work 🙈🤷🏼♀️🤗🤰🏼

Please don’t take this the wrong way. But I think you need to think of it another way. If something awful happened who would you want there to support you? Those are the people you should confide in and be able to get excited with. It’s a huge milestone and you should be able to share it with who you want to xx
