Was I silly to tell people so early

[Sarahmains40]

I've about 6 weeks PG I've told my mum sis and few of my friends. I have to tell work soonish because of my job. And every one else will find out after 12 week scan. I was so happy and excited I got carried away and i only told people who new I was trying. Was it to soon I'm feeling guilty for telling now just in case something happens :(

What's done is done, you've told people who are close to you so if something did go wrong they are the people who would help you thru it.

Congratulations

Well you'd tell them if something did happen (which won't) as you'd need the support so I don't see a problem.

Don't worry - it is hard to keep it in. MAybe remind those you have told that it is for their ears only.
Just a cautionary word- I told work due to health and safety reasons and early bleed and it spread like wildfire. I had to complain.
Make it explicit at work that it is personal.

By the way.. congrats!

I told my family and friends early - to be fair I had no choice as I was hospitalised with hyperemesis by 7 weeks but I would have told the same people anyway had I had a miscarraige.

Thanks ladies, I know mrs paddy this is what I am worried about too many big mouths at work I will see how things got in next couple of weeks and might just look a bit lazy try and hold off telling more people so soon lol

Hi Sarah I'm 7 weeks today

I have told way more people than that but everyone i have told are people who i would look for support if the worst was to happen.

I wouldn't worry too much, its not like telling people means something will go wrong.

I personally want to tell everyone, waiting till i get 12 weeks is feeling like forever!!

If you'd tell them if something did go wrong, then no harm done. I told my mum, sister, a couple of close friends early because I'd need their support whatever happened.

The only issue with telling people early is if you make say a facebook announcement and then miscarry, do you want to then make another facebook to say that? It's not the same as telling close friends and family.

Thanks and congrats cookie love. Maja00 oh defo not announcing anything on facebook. Luckily I don't go on there much any ways so I will make sure I keep away from that and only one person that I have told has fb I know she won't put out x

Don't worry about blabbing early, it's an exciting time! just don't tell everyone and their neighbour!

the only problem I found with telling my friends and family early on (4 weeks ) is that the pregnancy seems to have lastest FOREVER! Currently 31 weeks and ready to meet the new wee human

dont worry - i told people early (8 weeks) as I was back to UK for crimbo and wanted to tell people face to face if we saw them - my immediate family. I also told my close circle of chums in germany at news years, since we had all gone away for 5 days to a large house, and normally I can be found guzzling red wine from dusk till dawn at such events, and smoking. The drinking I could have explained with antibiotics, the smoking - a health kick BEFORE new year? no chance. Anyway, I figured if something went wrong these would be the people I would have turned to.

Aww thanks ladies don't feel so bad if I had my way I'd climb on my roof now and just start screaming I'm pregnant. But if I did that social services would take baba off me straight away lol

Before I fell PG I was ADAMINT I would not tell any till 12 weeks but that's gone out the window

Sarah i forgot to say CONGRATULATIONS

I was also adamant that i wouldn't blab till 12 weeks, i last 4 days!!

If it helps, I had a miscarriage last year. I had told some people who I was close too, but then not others at work etc. Unfortuately, i was very ill with the miscarriage so had to have a lot of time off work and tell a few people. Some knew I was "ill" but not what, had guessed, rumours were going around, so I told people. They were supportive, but the support was delayed by a couple of weeks, I realised if they'd have known first that I was pregnant, it would have made life easier for me.

When I got pregnant with DD a couple of months later, I told quite a few people early that I was pregnant and they were really good about me being a nervous reck the week of my scan, they got why I was being a mess, and were genuinely happy for me to hear it was all good news!

I told a fair few people in the beginning of my pregnancy but the people I told knew I was just about to start ivf again and knew about the tough journey we were on ttc, (luckily ivf wasn't needed as I fell naturally) but it was either tell a lot of lies about how my treatment was going if they asked or to tell the truth.
I knew that if things were to go wrong god forbid I would prob talk about it anyway with these people and would need there support so don't worry about people knowing, just warn them to keep news to themselves for now as people do love to talk.
Congratulations to you

I told everyone at 5 weeks this time and 7 weeks 1st time. I'm a big believer that if something happens it's best that people know and can support you through it. It would be pretty crap if the 1st people heard of it was that you had a miscarriage! x

I told my family at 5 weeks and friends at around 7 weeks. Don't regret it at all. Have had mc's in the past and the support was very much needed so didn't think twice about telling people this time round. Happy to say at 26 weeks there is now no way anyone wouldn't know lol x

It's up to you who you tell and when. It will not 'jinx' things etc. I always told the people who I would turn to I'd things did go wrong. I wouldn't want to go through that loss entirely on my own. As I say, there is no right or wrong, so don't feel guilty

I told everyone early too, its really your choice who u decide to tell. I'm 10 weeks and I don't regret telling people early (5 weeks) when I told people the way I see it if something bad was going to happen it would happen wether people know or not :) congratulations xx
