I don’t really understand the urge to let people know this, unless it’s family asking you about it. Not that your mind should “do a weird thing”, but it’s just… why?
We didn’t say a thing about a kid until a few months after conception, and we waited because even if it takes, there is a weirdly high chance of an early miscarriage. And it’s less is an announcement of good news and more of a “and that’s why she big now.” Just saying you’re trying to conceive is even more preemptive of something so highly variable that I can’t understand why you’d do it.
Yeah … I feel this. We told a family member at week 10. I think we wanted to wait longer, but it just sort of came of out. They shared it on Facebook. We didn’t say not to. Week 11 or so, I don’t fucking remember … Miscarriage. Probably not viable for a couple of weeks at that point.
Any case, we tried again and this time waited till week 13. We’re very explicit that it was only for family until we tell everyone somewhere in couple of months. And now we have a kiddo whose been kicking it strong for quite some time.
Miscarriages hurt and I’m a little surprised I still feel it.
Yeah, I’m so grateful it didn’t happen to us, but almost everyone I knew had a miscarriage at some point, apparently. And my parents shared almost immediately despite being told not to, because of course.
It’s good to share, even if someone was expecting memes and silliness, since you never know if that piece of advice helps them someday!
