secret

I'm almost 8 weeks. I MC in June at 6 weeks. This pregnancy was a big surprise and happened so quick from the one I lost. The dad and I have agreed not to share our news until the 10 week appointment. We went on Friday to have an US. Everything looked great and the heartbeat was perfect.  Now waiting 2 weeks and keeping it a secret is driving me mad. My close friends and family know something is up and a couple have even asked if I am pregnant.  Any advice on would be greatly appreciated.

I miscarried a year ago and again in June, with those two pregnancies we told people early on and it was hard when we had the losses.

This time I'm taking things very slowly and haven't got that urgency to tell anyone. We have an early scan for when I'm seven weeks but we're still not going to announce then, in fact we'd quite like to wait until Christmas and announce then. With it getting colder, plenty of layers should hide a bump :)

Mc in January. Not telling anyone until week 10 or 12. Last time I told everyone and then mc before 10 weeks and it was so awkward and hard having people ask how it's going and having to tell them what happened.

I'm doing the same, we are waiting a whole month before telling because of our MC we had last year. I can't wait to tell my family tho. It's killing me! But something that helps me wait is that we planned a fun creative way to tell them all at the same time at a family event so when I'm tempted to tell, I think about their reactions when we do it the way we have planned and I know it will be amazing. Also, u picked one family member to tell and swore them to secrecy. I've been able to text her when I have morning sickness and I feel like I have someone other than my husband to talk to about the little details.

I also had a MC this past april and am now 5 weeks. I have already told my parents and my husband's parents.  I figured if anything happens this time around they would still hear about the pregnancy so why not celebrate in the moment.  Like i told my husband...we cant live our lives in fear of another miscarriage or we will never have children!  Hope you have a healthy 9 months!!!
