Telling people

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

Lovely you are absolutely fine! You cannot jinx anything, what will be will be it's nature. What you need is to make sure you have all the love support and understanding because first trimester is an isolating and worrying time coupled with feeling sick and tired etc !!

I told my best friends (3) and my mum and dad straight away, my reasons are my husband is working away at the moment and we found out just before he left, we have a child already so I really needed some support! I have been incredibly unwell and couldn't have done it without them.....live your present, don't worry about the future !!! ❤️

If I would tell them in the case of a miscarriage, I tell them pre 12 weeks. Sometimes this is because of practicality (like my parents who would come help look after the other kids if I was unwell) and then friends for emotional support. I also like to ensure I don't have to lie, so if someone asks "why no wine tonight" I just tell them. I don't see the harm in it. If I'm out drinking with them, chances are I'd share a big event like a miscarriage. Hope this helps! Share with who you're comfortable telling! X

I was really sick this time around so told my parents early. I don’t think you can jinx it. I would have preferred to wait til the scan so I could be more excited and know everything’s ok but telling your parents won’t make it more or less likely to have a certain outcome x

Slightly different situation as we have been through 3 rounds of IVF. Its been a really long journey so those that knew about the IVF have been told but thats about it

Hey I'm 7 weeks and 2 days and I told my daughter immediately but thats cos she was in the next room 🤣. Told my sil a couple of days later, then my folks the day after and now my sis knows.
We've got a scan tomorrow so as long as all is well we'll tell the rest of the family

Hi, i think there is not a right or wrong answer to this, but what you think works better for you. That said, I am with Michelle on this one.

I’m 10 weeks now and haven’t told anyone but my closest family and best friend. I’ve gone through a miscarriage already and a failed embryo transferred and these are the people who have been my support through all of it. Can’t imagine not having that. To the world I’ll tell them after the 12 weeks scan when I know all is ok.
