I’ve told parents and my close friends, pregnancy is tough, we shouldn’t have to feel like we have to go through it alone in the first few months❤️

I've told a few randomers just to get used to the idea, like people in shops and a neighbour at the allotment! I've told 1 person at work as I've had to call in sick and they're being very discreet until I'm comfortable telling others. I plan on telling family in the next few weeks because I've been so stressed about this and really want the support of my mum and sisters! My partner wants to wait a little bit longer to tell his family which is fine with me

I have told 2 friends at the moment and will tell my mum and sister when I see them next.
I understand the caution but as someone who went through a loss previously, I wish I had told more close people so I had the support there.
Pregnancy is tough at the best of times and to have a village is so important x
