Advise??

I'm 5 weeks pregnant. Hubs and i are THRILLED. We talk daily about her (we want a little girl), we're planning, excited for the first ultrasound, anticipate her movements, the whole nine.

While I'm excited, I am also TERRIFIED. I've only had one other pregnancy. My son, 8 years ago.

He was absolutely a smooth ride. He came on his own a couple weeks early, but he was perfect in every way and shape and form.

When I delivered him, I was 23. I am going to be 32 with her.

I've never had a pregnancy between them. I was on the Mirena and once removed, got pregnant in no time. She will be my second.

Here's where I need advice:

I'm scared of misscarrying. Like. Terrified.

Hubby wants to tell the world, he's so excited, she will be his first. I want so much to tell people as well!!

But the idea, that I could miscarry, it is holding me back from allowing mass announcement. We each have told just one person.

The reason I don't want to announce yet is because I don't want to go through a mass of sympathy IF I miscarry. I'd rather keep that close and personal, if that makes sense?

With that noted, when do you ladies think it would be safest to announce?

I want him to have his moment, I really desperately do!! Especially since she's his first and we had major success after trying for such a short time. But this fear is seriously holding me back.

Please help🙏😥
