Re-posting having just idiotically posted this by mistake in response to someone else's post

Anyway...
I've previously whinged on here when I was in my old job which was making me miserable to the point of almost resigning without having the safety net of a new job (which I could never realistically afford to do).
Anyway, this year I was blessed by a huge dollop of luck, and a new job presented itself to me without me having to barely lift a finger - I still can't believe how brilliantly it all fell into place, and a few months on, I am very happy in my new job.
When I was still in my old job (very long hours and very stressful), I got pregnant and miscarried, and although it's no one's fault, I am sure the stress, tiredness and anxiety I was going through at the time didn't help. Afterwards, I looked at it from the point of view that it was just as well I didn't have to go through with working there and coping with a pregnancy at the same time.
So...I started the new job thinking the whole time that while I really wanted to make a good go of it, I also couldn't wait to get pregnant again (what with the clock ticking etc..).
So I am now at the point of being pregnant again , coupled with the fact that I am petrified of miscarrying again, but also filled with dread at the thought of telling my new employers, which I'm going to have to do soon.
I just don't want them to be disappointed in me, and I don't want them to think that I had this planned from the very beginning - what I mean is I didn't just accept the job in order to get pregnant - for me, I see it as a long-term job, maternity leave or no maternity leave, and although yes of course my pregnancy was planned, I can't help that this job coincided with me wanting a baby. Men are so lucky they don't have all this to think about.
Anyway, I suppose I am asking for advice on how to tell my bosses, but still sound professional. I mean we have quite an informal, relaxed relationship so it's not like I would have an intimidating meeting to contend with. In some ways it's easier if you work for a huge faceless company that you don't have a direct relationship with the owners/directors. To tell employers in a job you care about but have only been there a short time I'm finding very difficult! I am not sure how I will approach it or how they will react. Even if they outwardly seem pleased for me, you just know, as any employer, inside they are thinking "oh great, now this to deal with" and I couldn't bear it if they then go away thinking that I'd used them (as they have since gathered how much I hated my old job).
Sorry for the long post, and I'd love to hear from anyone who's had to deal with anything similar.
