evertthing you read tell you not to share the news of your pregnancy until after your first trimester. Last year when I fell pregnant I decided not to tell....just in case...and then just in case happened. How could anyone pray for the health of my baby if no one knew it existed . When I mc'd and I was sad and moody and no one knew why and they asked a lot of questions. So im telling and im asking for prayers.. And the existence of my child is being rejoiced..amen

well i am glad people knew i was pregnant and glad that they knew i miscarried..if it wasnt for family and friends helping me heal i wouldnt have got through the sorrow... i dont think i could have kept a miscarry secret...they say to wait till after first trimester which the second pregnacy i did, only to loose our girl at 16 weeks..no matter what i think its a good thing people know your pregnant no matter what the outcome..you need support through a pregnancy regardless of previous misfortune and it is something you do want the world to know about...best of luck looking forward to hearing of your progress with ur little baby :)

I have 3 children and I always told very early, I was so excited. I didn't tell everyone, and I miscarried, I found it hard for me to make all those phonecalls to the people I did tell, over and over. Someone forgot to tell my brother in law and 3 months later at Thanksgiving he wanted to know why I was having a drink. I ended up crying in the bathroom cuz all the emotions came back. He never said sorry. He just said my new wife and many of those. THOSE!!
So this time I'm keeping it on the down low. I also don't need to ever explain miscarriage to my children.
But that's me and this time. Otherwise, I believe, Tell the world. You are pregnant, Yay! Be excited, and I will pray for you, Please pray for me. I just couldn't deal with everyone's comments. They were trying but it was always wrong.
This is our turn. Yes, rejoice, God will get us through.
God Bless you and your little bean.

I had three miscarriages... I became pregnant again.. I waited until about 3 months to tell.. once I did everyone kept waiting for me to call and tell them that it had happened again.....well it didn't my daughter will be a year old on september 7th...My biggest regret is i didn't celebrate her the way I should have :( I was so scared of letting everyone else down that I only allowed myself to have a little happiness about being pregnant again... It seemed in a way that I was cast away from my family and friends bless their hearts they didn't know how to react..I did tell but I waited awile before I told my son, honestly I had little support, many of the girls on here were loveing and carried me through and they will forever hold a special place in my heart but as for my family and friends (outside of this site) many of them having not gone through loss were unable to understand my emotions... hugs to you sweetie... share your news when your heart is ready.. I will pray for you and your baby.. I know exactly how you feel

Last time I waited to 12 weeks to tell most people and then miscarried at 14 weeks. This time I told my mom and grandmother right away. I only told my son after I'd had a good ultrasound at 14weeks.

I think we should be excited even when it's difficult.
