With my first pregnancy I was 26 so happily waxed lyrical on Facebook. Next time I think I will be more cautious, more aware now of the struggles of others in this area and more sensitive to how they may find any news of this sort (I'm not preggers btw). In others news, I can only imagine your anxiety but I do wish you big congratulations xxLouisa Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01504106677453816810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050716289534099929.post-7383197359892122642011-10-15T11:35:13.542+11:002011-10-15T11:35:13.542+11:00I have never got past the 8 week mark, but I hope ...I have never got past the 8 week mark, but I hope I can enter the second trimester this time around and announce (sensitively) on FB. I'm now barely 4 weeks, but we've told everyone that we love and are close to. The way my husband and I approach it, is that if we need to lean on these people in case of another loss, they have every right to know during the (anxious and semi-) celebratory phase too. Just my two cents.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050716289534099929.post-74277875631368966362011-10-14T21:44:25.102+11:002011-10-14T21:44:25.102+11:00I couldn't say anything before 12 weeks.

Guv has requested that if we fall again that i don't tell him until later into the pregnancy - i can understand why, he's gone through our losses as well but it would mean i'd have to go through the early stages alone.<br /><br />no matter how you tell or when you tell, the world that you're knocked up, there will always be someone you manage to piss off!<br /><br />~x~~stinkb0mb~https://www.blogger.com/profile/13933191141338188027noreply@blogger.com
