When to announce pregnancy?

I'm 10 weeks and my sibling is having a baby that is due any day now. Do I wait until after baby is born to announce my pregnancy so that I don't take the spotlight away from them? Or do I just do it when I'm ready?🤔

I'd wait personally
If their due now then just wait for your scan and then your good to go

Wait till scan

We found out last April that we were expecting and my sil was getting married in June, so we actually waited till a month after to announce to let them have their moment and it worked out quite well as we did an early gender scan at 16 weeks and got to do both surprises in one!

Wait till scan or tell them privately first and ask them what they'd prefer as you want to be happy and tell everyone but not upset or take this moment

Do it after anomaly scan

Anything can happen between now and 16 weeks; I would strongly advise for you to wait.

Baby # 2

I found out on Saturday I’m pregnant with baby #2. I’ll be 4 weeks tomorrow. I’m excited but nervous. Advice for going from 1 baby to 2.

Risk assessment for pregnancy

I told my manager on Monday that I am pregnant (7+5) as I've been feeling quite tired and sick and thought she should know. I work in a nursery so the job is quite physical and involves lifting, cleaning etc.
She said she won't bother doing a risk assessment until I'm 12 weeks and that the pregnancy shouldn't impact how I work at this stage... not sure i agree with this, but not sure what I can say.
Any advice?

6week PP clearance

Has anyone not cleared their 6w PP exam? What was the reason and any early symptoms that you noticed?

Nausea/Sickness 26 weeks

Hiya all.
26 weeks pregnant and the nausea/sickness is still there 😭 some days are good some days are bad, no where near as bad as the first trimester, that wasn’t fun. I am on anti sickness tablets which I feel are starting to loose their effectiveness. I also have a 3 year old aswell. Finding this pregnancy a lot harder than my first. Anyone else experiencing this? X

39 weeks and still waiting

Just here venting.

I had my first at 38+6, so this is the most pregnant I’ve ever been. First pregnancy was amazing, easy, spontaneous labor, birthed at home.

This time around, the doctors were sooo sure that I’d probably go into labor spontaneously and early again. I thought I would too. But Im still waiting. On top of that, baby is breeched. My hospital is highly trained in vaginal breeches, but not past 40 weeks so I’m feeling down to the wire. Tired of being pregnant while also grieving potentially not having the vaginal birth I had hoped for. Come on babyyyy, let’s get movin!
