Should we share the news of my pregnancy?

I just recently found out I am pregnant and my husband and I have been debating on whether or not we share the news. We have had many miscarriages in the past and we have just gotten family so excited about the new baby on the way and then I end up miscarrying we really want to tell the family but are afraid they are going to be soo happy and then we have to turn around and tell them some bad news.

Any advice on how I could tell the family or if I should wait to tell them??

Please help!!!

Answer #1

You should tell them. They are your family.

Answer #2

You should tell them even though you have had issues before, they have been through it and understand that nothing is for certain. They will still be excited and happy for you, I’m sure they would want to know. Maybe this will be your miracle baby! All you can do in your situation is hope and pray for the best!

Answer #3

It depends upon how closeyou are to everyone. If you are very close, tell them. They’’ll support you no matter what. With people who are not too close, wait until after 15 weeks.

Answer #4

I went through the same thing. I found out I was pregnant in June and had a previous miscarriage so trust me, I didn’t tell anybody but my husband. The first 12 weeks drove me nuts, because I really wanted to share the news, but wanted to get past the 3 month period. I kept getting good news at my ultrasounds from the 7th week on so I relaxed and by the 12th week u/s her little heart was still beating strong and she was moving about and hasn’t stopped and I just made 25 weeks. So talk to your doctor and see if he can give you an ultrasound, usually a heartbeat seen ealy is a good indication things will go well, so good luck.
