Can someone tell me I'm being ridiculous

So I previously suffered a miscarriage.

I'm 10 weeks pregnant tomorrow and we had a scan last week at 9+1. Sonographer told us it was a cute little baby and there was a heart beat. Everything's fine and we just needed to go back again at 12 weeks (we weren't sure of dates as no AF since miscarriage).

So the first time round I told my mum at 4weeks because we'd been trying for a year and I was just so happy. I then had to call her and say we lost the baby and it was the single most horrific thing I've ever had to do.

So this time round she still doesn't know.

We're planning on telling my parents/brother and DSD on Christmas Day. I'll be 11weeks.

So now is where I need you to tell me I'm being silly. I'm going into a massive panic that between last week and our 12 week scan on 2nd Jan something gone wrong and I'm now not only going to have to tell my mum again but my 7 year old DSD.

I've googled all the statistics and have read once you've seen a heart beat the risk of something happening is like 2%. Id just love it if other people could back this up to try and settle my mind.

Please no sad stories to encourage my worrying.

It is totally normal to be worried but I think you need to wait until ur 12 week scan. I know ur anxious but u cant do anymore than you are already doing. If ur worried about telling ppl then just wait.

Enjoy your hols wih ur lil secret and just remember if ur anxious ur baby will be too. Try and relax and let ur body just do the hardwork of growing baby.
