No one to talk to about early pregnancy irl

[dreamyunicorn]

Had an early loss in January this year so I've been so anxious!

Had an early scan today and I'm so happy!

My 7 week baby has a good heartbeat ❤️ early days but want to share with someone!

I'm in love ❤️

All ears. Congrats, you must be so happy. Hope everything goes well OP.

Congratulations 🥰 I wish you a safe and happy pregnancy xx

Thank you both.

It's surreal as I want to shout it from the rooftops but don't want to say anything just in case.

I completely understand but there's no rule about what you should do. Everyone says 'wait until 12 weeks then you're safe', but sadly there isn't a safe point in the pregnancy until you're holding that baby!
I lost my first baby last June at 33 weeks (this was related to a genetic condition that I didn't previously know I had which passed onto my son). I am now 29 weeks pregnant with my rainbow baby who is so far healthy, but all of my family and friends have known about her since I found out I was pregnant, because I felt she deserved celebrating right from the get go!
It's a whirlwind of a time carrying your little one, but try and embrace as much of it as you can. Before you know it they'll be here with you 🥰

@Bubbles021 I can't imagine the pain of losing your first, big hugs.
I hope your little rainbow stays safe and well.

Yes you're so right. I just feel right now this is our special moment with our little blueberry!
Friends (closest) were told from my bfp last time and they were all amazingly supportive when things went wrong. I think their concern might just drive me potty lol so I want the 12 week scan and tests all looking ok before anything is announced.

You take care.

Aww cute. Congratulations 🎊

Congratulations! xx

Thank you 😁

Congratulations! I have a DD who's 5 and I then had 3 early losses including twins at 10 weeks. I'm now 24 weeks pregnant and I'm still anxious. Getting to the next week, through each scan, midwife appointment, etc feels like I've passed the next milestone. I was very apprehensive to tell people but at the same time I thought if the worst were to happen I'd have a good support system, which is important.
I've still not told anyone the name we've chosen for him, I don't want to take any baby clothes (I have a nephew who has outgrown them), baby toys, etc just yet.
It's easier said than done but try to enjoy your pregnancy. Getting to each milestone, scans, first movements, etc is a joyous event and I've got further along I'm trying to enjoy the pregnancy more. Congratulations again, and if you feel anxious do talk to your DP, I've learnt from my losses, especially the twins, that it also deeply affects them, even if they don't talk about it... he didn't mention the twins for over a year until I cried during this pregnancy in the early days due to feeling terrified and then he opened up and said he'd been speaking to his friends.
I wish you all the best in your pregnancy 🥰

Congratulations!! I haven’t told anybody either as o still am convinced I’ll rock up to my scan and be told I’ve made the whole thing up! Wish you all the best x

Congratulations you find support here! Find your birth club thread too.

Congratulations @dreamyunicorn ! I also had an early loss in January and am around 9 weeks now ❤️🌈 I can understand not wanting to talk to anyone about it irl yet, we've told our parents and one or two friends out of necessity more than anything but I still don't like to talk to them about it much yet. I also want to save telling people until we can actually be properly excited!

How are you feeling? How wonderful is it to see your little one on the screen 😍 we got a little video from our early scan and I can't stop watching their little heartbeat.
