Should I tell my extended family?

Question

I am 9wks 3ds, got my first scan at 7 weeks and doctor said everything looks good and chance of miscarriage is 2-3%. Able to get heartbeat on doppler now. Parents and siblings already know. Just found out my cousin is also pregnant at 8 weeks and already told the family. I really want to share our good news too but my husband is very cautious ( which i don't blame him for being) also I'm supposed to be in another cousin's wedding which is a few days after I'm due, so obviously can't be in it, and I want to give her the time to replace me before they stay looking at dresses and such...9 weeks to early to tell??

Answer

I told everyone around 8 weeks last time and went in for my 12 week scan and baby stopped growing at 9/10 week unfortunately now I’m terrified. I keep looking up statics of miscarrying and can’t believe it’s only 2-3% it gives me hope but I’m still going to wait much longer this time. 
On the other hand I think you should announce. It felt good having people there. Not gonna lie this pregnancy has been super lonely for me 
Sorry for the babbling lol and congratulations update me on how you tel everyone 😃

Answer

I think it depends on how you deal with things emotionally. If you’re excited and will have no regrets, feel free to tell the world mama! Just think ahead and don’t be scared, but know there is little chance of miscarrying and how you want to deal with having everyone know if it happens. 
Me, i am super excited I just am also so afraid of miscarrying and having to face everyone I told if the worse does happen because I couldn’t bear to explain to everyone or have everyone ask about it so I’m keeping it a secret until at least 12 weeks. Good luck :)
