Family announcement ideas after loss/es🌈

How did you announce the next pregnancy to your parents after miscarriages/losses?

My husband and I will soon be trying for our rainbow baby, it will be our 3rd pregnancy and hopefully our first live child. We decided that we still want to celebrate the next pregnancy regardless, because we don’t want our fear to control us, and to have any regrets. I’ve already worked out how to announce to hubby, but I’m a bit stuck for ideas to tell my parents again (when it happens) 🤞🍀🌈✨

The first time we announced to my parents only days after we found out at 4 weeks- wearing “baby daddy/mama” shirts but unfortunately lost that pregnancy around 6/7 weeks 👚👕

We were going to be more reserved for our second pregnancy and wait until we had seen the heartbeat but we are both so close to my parents that we ended up telling them at 5 weeks because we couldn’t wait!

That time I filled a (clean) wine bottle with sparkling grape juice, so my parents automatically assumed I was drinking (aka not pregnant).

About half hour in I asked my dad (who thinks he is a wine connoisseur haha) to try my “wine” and see what he thought.

After much glass swirling, and sniffing, and rolling the juice around in his mouth- he finally swallowed, screwed his face up and said “it’s a bit sweet. Doesn’t even taste like wine”

I calmly replied “because it’s not”. 🍷

It took him a couple of seconds to put it together and then he whispered “are you pregnant?!” We laughed and said yes, he let out a woop and then calmed himself, and was like okay, we aren’t getting ahead of ourselves yet, but I’m so excited for you! 🎊

Unfortunately we also lost that baby, at 17+4 weeks due to a subchorionic hematoma- only a week after we had invited them to view our private scan and they got to see watch our girl yawning, waving, giving the thumbs up and doing acrobats 🎀😴👋👍🤸‍♀️

My mum was very into gymnastics, and we joked how it had skipped a generation and my daughter was going to be a superstar gymnast (as long as she got my husband’s grace and not my lack of coordination! 😂)

So obviously this time round the loss was felt much deeper and harder for all of us 💔

So again, I’m unsure how to tell them next time. Part of me wants to save them the heartache if something goes wrong by waiting. But I know I will want their support either way, and I don’t want to rob them of a cute way of finding out if everything goes well! Ideas?💡
