Hi guys, i really needed some advice and i dont really have anyone around me to ask… ive found out im pregnant after 3 years TTC. This would be our rainbow baby i pray, after 3 miscarriages. Im very early, around 4 weeks. But every time ive reached around 6 weeks ive miscarried and it took a bad toll on both my mental health and my husband. To the point where he is more scared and anxious when im pregnant because we feel it wont last. I really want to break the news to him so we can go through this together but i dont want to add to his stress. He doesnt talk about his feelings much and the last one affected him. Should i open upto him now and tell him were pregnant or should i wait until im a little further along and the chance of something bad happens decreases…
please help me im so stressed!

Tell your husband, you need support too and I'm sure if the shoe was on the other foot you would want to know.

I'm currently 30 weeks with my rainbow baby after 2 miscarriages so I know a bit how stressful the first few weeks are, just take it easy and support each other xx

Definitely tell him, it’s a huge strain on your own mental health without the burden of not telling him! I’m currently 13+3 with our rainbow baby after TTC for 3 and a half years and a miscarriage. Ask your doctor about progesterone pessaries, I’ve been put on them this time and they have made me so much more relaxed knowing my body has had some extra help getting me to this stage. Everything crossed for you lovely! Xx

I was going to ask if there's anything different this time medically - have you had any investigations/help?
If not definitelyspeak to your GP about progesterone- if they're not familiar, refer them to the NICE guidelines which changed last year. Try to do that ASAP.

Why don't you ask your husband whether he would like to know when you do a pregnancy test/what the result is?
