Not announced yet

I haven’t announced yet, not ‘publicly’ anyway. I find myself getting really anxious when it comes to telling people. We’re also going on holiday next week, and will have had the 20 week scan so might make it more common knowledge then. Don’t really feel a need to broadcast it 🤷‍♀️

I agree with Chloe, me neither also quite anxious and want to make sure all is really ok and def want to wait till 20 week first and don't feel the need either, the people who are meant to know know already.

@Chloe I feel anxious about it too. I have a 3 year old and when I was pregnant with him I couldn’t wait to tell people! This time it’s kind of nice having it more private. Hope you have a lovely hols x

I'm just not announcing it on socials. I've told my close family and friends and that's what means the most to me. I don't feel like I need to publicly let everyone know. I think the older I've gotten, the more I want to keep my life under wraps from absolutely everyone knowing 😆

I haven't announced publicly I'm only 17 weeks. My family and close friends know but I'm not ready to say it publicly on social media..I'm so scared I lose this one as I had a 2nd trim loss with my previous. I think once I'm over my 20w scan I will feel better. But at the end of the day those that need to know and I want to know, already do :)

I dont feel like I need to announce on socials. We've told close F&F and if word spreads like that, I'm OK with it, but just don't want it 'out there'. I've also got contacts on socials that I know are struggling to have kids so I feel guilty posting about these things. You've got to do what you're comfortable with though, don't feel obliged xx

@Georgina yesss 100% this!

@Jamie so strange you say this. I’ve felt really guilty because I know several people on my socials who are struggling to conceive. Whilst I was going through my molar pregnancy, pregnancy announcements were like a punch in the gut. I don’t want anyone to feel that way if I announce. I look back at my first pregnancy and honestly I was insufferable on social media 😂😂 xx

@Kim I’m so sorry you’ve had loss too. It’s so difficult facing pregnancy after loss. It’s been a real mental struggle for me this time. I’m hoping to feel better after this next scan too! Exactly, the people I need to know already do xx

@Georgina haha this is so true! In my first pregnancy I was 28 and I was insufferable on social media, telling people my business. Now I’m 32 I’m liking the private life 😂 xx

@Julia the 20 week is such a big scan, I just don’t feel comfortable before that. Exactly, the people that need to know already do xx

We never announced on social media with my first until he was born. Every time I thought about posting I worried about jinxing things and it just got later and later and I ended up not doing it. Obviously we had told everyone who matters to us personally. This time I have announced after our 16 week scan, I was thinking about waiting until 20 weeks but I have a noticeable bump with it being my second and I thought it would be easier to do the announcement now for if I post photos with me in online etc. I won’t be posting anything else about the pregnancy until baby is born, I don’t post a lot on there anyway. I don’t think you need to announce at all and it’s definitely also ok to wait until you feel ready to.

Haven’t announced on socials and don’t plan to, but miiiight do. Not sure! Have told all the people I want to tell though.

@Jess thanks Jess. I’m the opposite, with my first I announced at 12 weeks and I look back and cringe how much I shared on social media 😂 after loss and such a difficult experience with molar pregnancy I’m seeing it so differently this time. I use social media quite a lot and it’s a huge part of my job so I kind of felt like it’s the “done thing” but like you said I don’t have to. I love the idea of just putting something up when they are born, I might do this instead xx

Oh baby girl, all is well with baby 🙌🏻 I’m nearly 19 weeks and only told friends and family too, planing to announce it after gender scan xx

Nope, it's my lowest priority 😂 probably won't bother lol

I’m the same - just told close family & friends. Did the same with my last pregnancy which was following 2 losses. We did share on social at 23 weeks for that pregnancy. We will consider sharing this one after 20 week scan. I think it’s a good idea to wait for that scan personally. But no need to if it doesn’t feel right. Totally understandable the way you are feeling. Just go at your own pace, there is no expectation.

I'm sorry to hear you had a molar pregnancy 😔 I had a missed miscarriage at the beginning of the year and so I'm super anxious and worried that it won't all go well. I think it's natural after going through something like that. I'm trying to cling on to positive thoughts though.

im 18 weeks and still not announced only family knew and some friends till they’ve decided to announce it for me🫤 at least im still the only one that knows the gender i suppose

Not to scare anyone but I lost my baby at 39+2. So there really is no ‘safe zone’ at all in pregnancy. Announce whenever you want whether that be 10 weeks or 30 weeks. I feel like it’s important close family and friends know as even without complications, pregnancy is hard and we need support! But I’m wishing every single one of us the best xx

@KAS so sorry to hear! I had a placental abruption at 36 weeks and lost my little boy a good few years back and it was so devastating 🫂

@Kim that’s awful I’m so sorry! It’s devastating to hear how many people it affects, especially later on which I was shocked by. Unfortunately we didn’t get any answers as to why we lost our little girl but I’m 17 weeks pregnant again and just praying for the better outcome!🙏 I’m wishing you the best of luck aswell❤️ I just wanted to make people aware, without scaring anyone that despite what you’re told there’s no safe zone xx
