just introducing

Hi I just want to introduce myself to everyone.  My name is Jess and I'm 24. Just took a pregnancy test on Friday. Well I actually took three. All positive. I live with my boyfriend. I've been with him for only six months but he's really excited about being a.dad. I'm terrified because a little over three years ago I lost my daughter to holoprosencephaly. And I'm scared out of my **** it will happen again. My boyfriend tries to calm me down but it doesn't work. :/ Idk. I have a job and have benefits. When should I tell my parents? I'm only about four weeks!! :)

Well first of all good luck to you.... And I understand u being afraid but don't let stress consume you because that is not good for u or baby!!!! Enjoy your pregnancy and being pampered. Now what is th7is condition that you lost ur child to?!? Well they say that 8-12weeks u are our of the danger zone, so whenever u are comfortable to share that is up to you. Especially with your family if it was me I'd be on the phone soon ad I took.the test and got the positive..... Again good luck and I wish u all the best of luck!!!!

A good rule of thumb is to wait till 12 weeks when ur done with ur first trimester and know u wont miscarry the baby....i think i told my mom at 8 weeks though. I couldnt wait. Lol so it is up to u and it all depends. Im very close to my mom so i felt like i had to tell her first. Good luck!
