Questions & Answers

I couldn't imagine going through 4 miscarriages. When I had mine, I took a month off work, didn't leave my house, turned off my phone, and didn't talk to anyone. I totally shut down from basically everything.
Congratulations on your latest pregnancy. Please, keep me updated on your progress. (If you can.)
Your last line you wrote, I completely understand, That's what I'm doing right now. I think my Signficiant Other is started to wonder... To say the least. Yet, he hasn't asked me directly and I still have not told him or anyone for that matter. Again, it's nice having you and the other Ladies on here to confide in. Thank you for that. It means more to me than any of you can imagine.

We had 4 miscarriages needless to say I was pretty quite when we got pregnant again, we finally told my mom we were expecting at 9 weeks she was mad and made a good point .... we are your support team why wouldn't you tell us as soon as you found out so that we could support you in any event good or bad..... we found out we are unexpectedly expecting again and haven't told a soul we are 13 weeks. I know people are going to be upset we haven't told them sooner but we needed time to..... well I'm not sure what we are waiting for.....

Obviously it is totally up to you but my husband knew immediately and I told my immediate family shortly after. I then told a couple other close family/friends at about 12 weeks and then did tell social media until 18 weeks after finding out what we were having. Good luck!

Jubjub, if you don't mind me asking, how far along in your pregnancies were you when you miscarried?

I have had two miscarriages so I understand how you feel with figuring out when to announce. with my son, we didn't announce until after our 12 week NT scan. This time we will probably announce after my next appointment if we hear a good heartbeat. We have told several friends and all of our family though and we are 8 weeks along. Just haven't posted on social media or anything

Thank you to you both for replying to my question. It's nice to at least have some support system through this site. I want to tell my significant other. We've been together for almost 12 years. He just seems really stressed lately. Which is so unlike him.. It's very unnerving. As far as my Mother, she won't be able to contain her excitement. She will tell the world. ;) Anyway, thank you again. Please, keep in contact!

I told my boyfriend and mom and grandma the same day I found out. I was scared and I needed them the most. I did not announce to anyone else until I was 11 weeks. It is entirely up to you on when you should tell anyone.

However, if you feel alone at least tell your babys fathers and maybe mom or whoever it is your closest too that will support you. Thats my advice until you feel safe enough to tell everyone else. That way your not going through it alone you have at least one person by your side.

I'm doing something similar blondeone12 said. I told my coworkers because i was really sick constantly and my belly popped out immediately. I'm sure it's water and my body remembering my previous pregnancies but regardless, it was noticeable. People that I'm less close to will find out later. Basically, I'm telling people on a need to know basis until about 4 or 5 months or 3 months after my NT screen at the earliest. Do what's most comfortable for you. You'll know when it's right for you to tell the world. I know someone who's had 5 miscarriage back to back and didn't tell the world until she was 8 months pregnant.

The way i chose to tell people was to decide who i would want there if something were to happen. I told my husband and Mom right away, waited until 12 weeks to tell the rest of the family, and around 18 weeks to tell Facebook. But that is just what i felt comfortable. I knew i would need my Mom and husbands support if anything were to happen, and wanted them to celebrate with me.
