When's the right time?

TW Hi ladies, I’m feeling a bit torn and could use some advice. I’m 5 weeks pregnant with my 4th baby, and I’m absolutely over the moon, especially after experiencing a miscarriage in September. I have two boys, and I’m so excited to tell them they’re going to be big brothers! My question is, when’s the right time to share the news? Should I wait until I’m 12 weeks, or tell them sooner? 12 weeks feels so far away 😅, especially since I miscarried last time at 10 weeks and 4 days. Am I being selfish for holding off, or sensible by waiting? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Show your support

Congratulations, I think you are being sensible. I was in a similar position, I didn’t tell family until after the dating scan and still haven’t told a lot of friends.

You do what feels comfortable with YOU🩷 I’m so sorry about your miscarriage 🥺 hugs to you. The way I see it is no matter how early you tell or how long you wait there’s always that possibility unfortunately. I told my CLOSE friends and family at 5 weeks, and announced it to everyone else at 8 weeks. I wanted support from those who meant the most to me in either situation. Whether it would have been celebration or mourning🥺 that’s what I felt comfortable with. In the end it all depends on how comfortable you feel. Support for celebration is so important, but support and comfort and love from those who mean the most to you in an unfortunate event such as a miscarriage is very important too. Praying for a happy and healthy sticky baby for you mama🥰 and congrats. Xo

@Sonia thank you I'm going to speak to my husband about it again. But I totally understand where you're coming from with the support side of things only 3 people know I'm pregnant - not even my mum knows or my siblings.

@Ema thank you ❤️ I'm going to discuss it with my husband today.
