How do I tell people that I am pregnant?

So I had a miscarriage in February and just found out that I am pregnant again, I know some people will be so overjoyed and happy for me, and I’m afraid that some will not be so happy. A little background I’m 27 years old married, and I’m working on buying a house with my mom, dad, and husband. I just wanna know if I am wrong in thinking that this is my life and this is something that makes me happy and that I want.

If you tell anyone it should definitely be your husband.
There should be trust and y’all should be able to discuss how it makes you both feel.

I waited until the second trimester to tell people about my pregnancy. I had a miscarriage before and I read that that usually happens in the first trimester… so after I got past that part into the “safer” part of my pregnancy I told everyone. That was just what made me feel most comfortable.

You’re not responsible for the way people react to you and your choices.

A baby is something to celebrate ! Don’t let the ‘ not so happy people ‘ bring you down. It doesn’t matter how anybody else feels about it. Just remember to keep positive even if people express their negative feelings. It’s about your little baby you’re growing and your immediate family you’ve made :heart: positive energy your way !

I hid it my whole 9 months then popped out with a baby

I would wait until 2 trimester my dear. But also, hunny, who gives a flying fuck what anyone thinks. It’s your life, as long as it makes you happy, forget what anyone thinks. Sorry for your loss, ive been in that same position, and later we found out we were still pregnant. It was a twin to our 2nd child, and I had no clue until 15 1/2 weeks. So please, CELEBRATE :tada:

I miscarried with my first pregnancy right after we told our families. With the second pregnancy we waited until I made it through the 1st trimester. It was ultimately my decision and I felt like I needed control over SOMETHING and trekking people was that ounce of control.
When our parents asked how far along I was, when we did tell them, there was a noticeable sigh of relief knowing I had made it threw the hard part. Zero resentment, just relief.

You cant control how others will react
Why do you care so much about how others will react? Because in the end it’s you and your hubs, not you hubs and everyone else together.

If it’s something you want then don’t worry about what others say

Every baby is a blessing and should be celebrated! Miscarriages are horrible and it’s awful you went through that. I feel your pain more than you know and I am truly sorry for your loss. Please don’t let fear creep in too much and celebrate this little one. I know it can be difficult and people will always be judgmental and make comments, even if they mean well. Be happy! The opinions of others should not affect that. I am happy for you and I pray you have a safe and healthy pregnancy! Good luck momma :heart:

Please don’t set things on firer

I’m sorry about your loss. I lost a baby last year, due to physical abuse.

Don’t be afraid to tell anyone you’re pregnant. I only wanted certain people to know that I’m currently expecting (16 weeks) and thanks to my birth mom, she told my dad, which is the LAST person I wanted to know​:roll_eyes::expressionless:

If you’re afraid that they might judge you, then you don’t need them in your life.

Do whatever you want to do, but in my experience. I wish I waited until about 14weeks to announce it, but if you want to announce sooner do whatever makes you happy. I had a miscarriage with my first and I didn’t want to say anything until I was after 12weeks (safe zone) with my second and ended up bleeding at 13. Luckily it was fine and I carried to term. But I told my dad at 9weeks bc the father told his mom before I was ready and felt obligated. Looking back, I should have went with what I was comfortable with. Just do what you’re comfortable with and don’t worry about anyone else. I was 18 with my first and 20 with my second that went full term and is a healthy 10 year old now.

I would probably wait until I hit the 20 week mark to tell everyone, just to make sure I wasn’t going to miscarry again or have complications as I wouldn’t want to have everyone get excited and have a repeat of the sadness of the last miscarriage (I am SO sorry you and your family went through that!) But ultimately it is totally your choice on when you tell them. I’m sure they will be overjoyed at you being pregnant! Babies are such a joy, congratulations on the pregnancy! I’ll be thinking super good thoughts for you! :heart:

If you are happy, f**k what people say.

Of course you’re not wrong! If this is something you want then by all means. I had a miscarriage before I had my daughter, and a couple months later I was pregnant again. Of course I told my partner but this time I waited for my doctors appointment to see the ultrasound and hear the heartbeat, just so I knew everything was going smoothly before I told my mom. Around 12 weeks. I would at least tell your husband, and once things move farther along then tell your close family, and really whoever you want. It’s up to you if you want people to know or not, I’m just saying since you’ll all be living together I would notify them. Plus I’m sure they’ll be so excited too! As for telling others… there’s lots of ways! Take a photo of the ultrasound with pets, with a sign board of the due date, with a pair of baby shoes or pacifier. You can just call them and tell them, have lunch. I’m sure everyone will be excited for you, I’m not sure why anyone wouldn’t be. Congratulations! :heart:

All that matters is that you’re happy, and excited to be a mom. I know it’s so scary, but you don’t have to tell anyone right away. Tell them when YOU are ready. Until then, just do your best to enjoy every single moment :two_hearts: congratulations, mama :purple_heart:

There is nothing wrong with celebrating early if that’s what you want to do. If your pregnancy makes you want to shout it from the roof tops at 6 weeks then go for it :blush:
A lot of people wait until after 12 weeks given majority of loss happens in those first 12. My first miscarriage was at 9 weeks and I have since gone on to have a beautiful baby girl. Try not to dwell on the what ifs and enjoy this pregnancy

They way I look at it is this: are the people you want to tell financially responsible for you and your child(ren)? No, they are not. You are a full grown adult that is married and I’m assuming financially stable. If anyone has a problem with that, leave them. You honestly don’t need that negativity in your life.

The most important thing is that you and your husband are happy about being pregnant and looking forward to meeting your new addition. Don’t worry about what others think as that will cause unnecessary stress. Enjoy every minute of it. This is your rainbow baby. You tell people when are ready. Enjoy your new chapter and blessing x

To ask OTHERS whether it makes YOU happy or is what YOU want is very odd to say the least. Buy non residential to provide your children with more outdoor activities away from the danger of vehicles and people.

Is there some reason that you and spouse live with your parents and are buying a house with them ? It sounds like you left something out that may explain why some may not be happy you are pregnant. Even if you are handicapped, as long the four of you work together to raise the baby, it’s not their business anyway. So as long as your group is happy, piss on the rest of them.

That’s exactly what it is, your life. Maybe the ones you think won’t be happy for you are instead afraid for you because of the miscarriage and don’t want to see you hurt again. Many women who have miscarried wait until the beginning of the second trimester to announce the good news. Congratulations. Prayers for a healthy and happy baby.:two_hearts:

Since you had one miscarriage I would
Wait a while before telling anyone.

It is you life and not theirs. People will always have something to say some positive/some negative. If you feel like waiting to share your news until your second semester it may make you feel more comfortable/less stressful during your delicate situation.

Don’t let anyone make u feel bad… if they do its something wrong with them not you im so sorry for your loss but congrats on your new baby;)

You don’t owe anyone an explanation. Enjoy your pregnancy. It’s a gift from God.
