Emotional wreck
Show your support
I told my family the day I found out, I think it’s important to have support especially emotional support
We told everyone except people at work, other than my line manager. I figured if anything happened at any stage I would want all the help and support I could get. Even if all goes smoothly you still need all the support and help you can get throughout the whole pregnancy and beyond!!!
Personally I don’t believe in the 12 week rule. It’s the woman who has to suffer alone (whether that’s sickness and having to hide it, feeling anxious or if the worst was to happen). It’s nice to have someone to just moan to about how you’re feeling (as sadly a guy never has to go through morning sickness. So will never understand) I would take this app with a pinch of salt too. It can be hard not to get wrapped up in everyone’s worries, things that are happening to them etc. You should speak to your husband about having someone to talk to as it’s not fair on you. We go through a lot during pregnancy and the start (especially when it’s your first) is hard.
I agree with what everyone else has said. My last pregnancy ended in missed miscarriage at 12 weeks and I hadn't told anyone. Went through 12 weeks of lying, making up excuses and feeling really shit and not being able to say anything for it to just end and me have to tell my closest family and friends that I had had a miscarriage when they didnt even know i was pregnannt cos I had to be admitted to hospital, made me realise how completely stupid it is. Tell your closest family and friends support network, you can tell them to keep it a secret, you will feel so much better I promise x
There is no reason not to tell close family until 12 weeks, if something were to happen, which I hope and pray it doesn’t, you would need support.
