Anxiety over announcing pregnancy
Hi all,
I am currently 15 weeks pregnant after a couple of miscarriages. I had a scan at 10 week and 13 weeks and all is looking fine (apart from the baby measuring ahead) but I can’t seem to shake the feeling something will go wrong.
I’ve only told a handful of people about the pregnancy (my toddler decided to announce it at nursery, so everyone there knows 🤦♀️)
I haven’t even told my parents yet. I’m going to need to soon as I already have a definite bump!
I guess I’m looking for reassurance... ways of telling people that isn’t over the top...I don’t know.. just feeling so anxious about it 😕

The people I have told are the people I wouldn't mind telling that something had gone wrong and I would want/need the support from.
It's your own personal journey so you tell who you want when you want! It's easier to hide the bump in winter!
I manager to muster the courage to tell my parents today! They were happy but understand that things can still go wrong, however unlikely. We will tell the OH’s parents in a couple of weeks and then wait for the 20 week scan to announce to people other than our nearest and dearest!
Thank you both so much- wishing you happy and healthy pregnancies going forwards!x
