I was at a family funeral today and some how everyone has found out I'm pregnant in my family everyone congratulated and said finally some good news as we have had a terrible four years ish.

I am only 11 weeks and didn't want anyone to know till I had my scan next week :( I'm upset incase anything goes wrong I will have to tell them all now and they will recieve more bad news. I feel like it's been jinxed now please tell me I'm being silly.

I've come home early upset.

Congratulations you are pregnant and that is wonderful, so sorry you have obviously gone through a tough time. But i can guarantee you that you can't jinx anything, no amount of walking under ladders will cause a MC, it is just one of those awful things than can happen. But i am sure everything will be ok and you will have some wonderful supportive family around to help you with your LO. :) I wish you all the best!! After 12 weeks, the time flies by!!

I know exactly how you feel. But, if something did happen you have nothing to be ashamed about and those people will support and love you. I know it's not ideal but it's happened.

Congratulations on your pregnancy! And I'm very sorry for your loss too.

There is always a small chance something will go wrong in pregnancy but to get to 11 weeks is a very, very good sign and hopefully all will be well. It's lovely that your family were so pleased to hear the news.

Thank you! I was so upset when everyone found out incase I have to give them bad news I feel abit silly.
I have everything crossed that next week I can give them good news and show them a picture of a healthy scan!

I'm so superstitious it's pathetic! I'm sure people have announced pregnancies early though.

I'm 12 weeks, haven't had my scan yet, and wanted to keep secret but because I've been so ill and signed off work, it was impossible not to tell people, and then inevitably some people blabbed. I sympathise because I really wanted to wait for the scan but 11 weeks is a good sign so try not to let it upset you and remember, there's no such thing as jinxing :) xxx

Aw don't worry it'll most likely be ok anyway and next week you'll forget all about this worry. Tbh I wished I had told everyone early before I actually had a miscarriage last year. It would have made it easier for me to explain what happened to them. Thats just me though! I'm 7 weeks pregnant again now and everyone knows because I blabbed about it! I figure ppl knowing isn't going to affect the outcome at all anyway. May as well share a little joy :-)

OP, the exact same thing happened to me. I told my mum early and she told the whole family, despite me telling her not to! She was just excited, but it really upset me because I felt really out of control and cross I hadn't been able to do it myself. I think the biggest problem is that in the early days it doesn't quite feel real and you're still adjusting to it yourself, so it is difficult to take everyone's congratulations and questions. Nothing has been jinxed, this happens all the time! Not everyone waits until 12 weeks anyway. Best wishes for your scan, I'm sure everything will be perfect xx

I'm really tempted to pay for another scan now :( don't know what to do!

Mum thinks it should ride it out till next week but I feel extra pressured now!

Thank you everyone for your replies
