To announce to not announce on social media??!

So I’ve had two miscarriages prior to this pregnancy… I didn’t announce my first pregnancy because I lost it right away I only caught the pregnancy because I felt off but had I not taken test I would not have even known, second pregnancy I announced at 8 weeks and lost it at 9 weeks almost 10, now with this pregnancy it’s the furthest I’ve been I’m now 3 months and a half (14w1d) and I have done my NIPT test all is well thank God! I really wanna announce my pregnancy with my baby girl, but I’m scared and traumatized because of my previous miscarriages. I want to share this joy but some part of me has fear about it… any advice???!

You will feel awful anyways in case anything goes wrong (keeping everything crossed it won’t!!) but in the end it’s never good to let fear make decisions :) and there is no guarantee ever for anything. what would you do if everything went perfect? Celebrate this pregnancy! It’s very likely now that all will go well and congratulations 🥹🥹

It’s okay to not post on social media. how about not announce and just post a surprise reel when baby is here like some of the celebrities do. I know you are excited to announce but you need to protect your energy. just focus on celebrating your pregnancy and enjoy the journey and think positive always 😊 don’t think about anything negative just think good things and think like a mommy

There is nothing wrong with sharing your joy mama! I know it is so hard post-miscarriage, I don’t even know when I found out I was pregnant with my rainbow because I was scared I wouldn’t want a picture of the test later. It’s such a tricky thing to navigate but it helped me to find ways to take my joy back from the fear. An announcement was one way that helped me practice that.
Just focus on what feels right today, and let tomorrow be what it is when you get there.
Congrats!

I went through a miscarriage ( i didn’t get a chance to post about the baby) but when I got pregnant again I was scared and nervous but I wanted a chance to celebrate my rainbow baby as long as I got to whether it was for a few weeks or for a lifetime. But do what feels right for you and your baby ❤️

My first was a loss. I always announce to those close to me as soon as I find out they know we were trying anyways. I usually don't tell my family till 7-9 months pregnant since they live many states away and are not supportive of my husband and I.

You can announce whenever you feel comfortable or just tell a few people close to you if you're not ready. I've had 2 miscarriages at 8 and 6 weeks so I wasn't ready to announce till the usual 12 weeks as once I had got past that stage and had a successful scan I felt a little bit of relief. Fingers crossed for you, my rainbow baby has just turned 9 months

WIBTA for calling my son Henry?

I am due in Dec and if my blood test was right, we're having a boy (we find out 'offically' at 15 weeks due to private gender scan') I have loved the name Henry for a long time but I am wondering if that name is not appropriate for the time with the recent murder of Henry Novak and the uprising here in the UK. This is a very sensitive subject so I hope I haven't been disrespectful.
