Exciting!!!!

9 months ago I had a miscarriage
and it really took a toll on
my partner and me.

To our joy, we're pregnant again! Tomorrow is the first ultrasound. I find it so nerve-wracking. One moment you're full of confidence, and the next moment it's the complete opposite!
My belly is already starting to show. When should I tell the rest of the family?

    That's definitely exciting! Super congratulations anyway. Now let's hope everything goes well! How far along are you now?

    We told everyone right away, but I can imagine that if you already have a history, you might wait a bit longer.

    Love, Mama

    I'm 8 weeks now!

    When we had the miscarriage, we came across
    a lot of misunderstanding. People make blunt remarks like, "Well, you shouldn't have told them so early, that's asking for trouble."

    If the heartbeat is there tomorrow, I don't mind if everyone knows.
    My boyfriend finds it quite difficult!

    I only told the family when I was 12 weeks. By then, most of the risk of miscarriage had passed.

    My boyfriend wants that too! But I'm not sure if it's possible since I can't wear my own clothes anymore.

    I hope he'll be so excited tomorrow that he'll want to tell her.

    They say the first 12 weeks are the most risky, but from my own experience and that of friends, the whole pregnancy comes with risks. We're rooting for you!

    We always told our parents because I also find it nice when things don’t go as planned and you can just be sad and angry without having to hold back because they know nothing.
    Wishing you lots of success and enjoy it!!!

    Hey,

    I also had a miscarriage in the past. I now have 2 healthy kids and am expecting my 3rd little miracle. I also told everyone right away. Only my mom knew about my first miscarriage. And I found it so hard that I couldn't share my story with anyone. That's why we told everyone right away this time.
