When should we tell..

Hello! Ive had recurrent miscarriages. This is the first time that ive reached 6 weeks, and i just have anxiety everyday thinking that today will be the end of this pregnancy. I blame the miscarriages for being so scared :( but anyway, im scared of everything that could possibly go wrong and i dont have my ultrasound until aug 9th.. my only concern is that when should i tell my family and my husbands family? Only my husband and i know of us being pregnant but its been so hard without support of my mother but i dont want to hurt her by making them Happy for nothing. This is just sad for me.

I’ve had two miscarriages and this is the first time I’ve also made it to 6 weeks, I’m the exact same I’m anxious every day! I think we just have to think positive and just enjoy it as worrying won’t change the outcome and won’t help so I think until something goes wrong try our best to be positive it’s so hard though! 🩷

Agreed with both!

Im just taking it by the day and praying for the best! What are ur symptoms at 6 weeks?

Whenever you both feel is right. I had a missed miscarriage with my first, found out at my 12 week scan. I currently haven’t told any of my family or friends about my current pregnancy as I’m so anxious, hopeful of my early scan so I can tell my family 🫶🏼 positive thinking and taking each day as it comes My nausea & tiredness has hit hard 😓x

Kelsey, what were ur symptoms when u had a missed miscarriage. Did ur symptoms fade? Were ur hcg levels low?

I’ve had 5 miscarriages and all of them made it to the 5-7 weeks. Currently I’m 4+2 and trying to stay positive. Easier said than done. I get a scan at 6+5 so fingers crossed! But I also feel the same and afraid to tell people because it’s super heartbreaking.

My first pregnancy ended in a missed miscarriage and we hadn't told anyone but my closest friend at work. Which meant I was then telling my mum sad news when I did tell her what was happening as I ended up having a D&C. My second pregnancy I told my closest friend at work again and then told everyone else when I had my 12 week scan as I was just so anxious. I've ended up telling my manager and HR today about this pregnancy already as I sat in a meeting about future planning this morning, how it will all be finalised by Sept and I know I'm included in that plan 🫣 but of course won't be here.

The best advice I received was - if it's someone you'd tell about a miscarriage, then they're someone worth telling (when you want) to support you in those early weeks too
