Should I tell my partner I'm pregnant yet?

I took my first positive pregnancy test this Tuesday. On a whim as I thought I "felt pregnant". I conceived 3 weeks ago.

This night before this (Mobday) my parents urged me to book the same trip they were doing around the carribean - sounded fun so I did.

So now I'm pretty sure I'm pregnant, I leave in a week for a month cruise with my parents.

Should I tell my partner before I go? I want to share this news with him but he is a huge worrier.. plus I know being so early might not even eventuate to anything as its my first and potential for a miscarriage?

They may not be so happy to share a holiday with you in early pregnancy.

Why not? They’re hardly going to catch it from the op. Confused

Your insurance will need updating and I wouldn't go for 2 reasons the first trivial sickness possibility and the second, Zika.

My first pregnancy I just felt awful, my second pregnancy I lost weight I was so ill.

You might not be very good company if you are ill.

Confused is the word. With a possibly sick all the time woman who may have a miscarriage while at sea or in a foreign country?
A) possibly not good company, particularly if the parents feel bad about leaving her alone while sick
B) a source of worry for dedicated parents

Of course you tell him.

Either it will be fine (statistically. Ore likely) and you'll have a month knowing about it, your parents knowing about it and then have to tell him you've known for ages, or it won't be OK and you'll then just never tell him??

Hi OP

I'd speak to your practice nurse, some vaccinations can not be given to pregnant women

I'm a seasoned cruiser and would cancel the holiday in your position. The first trimester is risky and the medical facilities on board a cruise ship are pretty limited. If you ended up having an ectopic pregnancy or a miscarriage with very heavy bleeding, a cruise ship is the last place you'd want to be.

I would reconsider going. Morning sickness can be a killer at the best of the times but in the heat and on a boat!? It’s something you really can’t imagine until it hits. Truly disgusting.

I’m also quite intrigued why for so long? I’ve been on a couple of Caribbean cruises and a month seems aggggges to be stuck on a boat, even the lovely ones!
