“Hope everything works out...”
I had a miscarriage at 10 weeks in feb. and currently 5 weeks pregnant.
My husband and i agreed to not say anything to our families until after my first appointment, but i had to request time off for the doctor appointment and she said “i hope everything works out...” and you could tell she didn’t know what to say and that actually hurt my heart.....
This is the exact reason i don’t want to tell anyone at all. I know no ones reaction will be the same as before. Last time everyone was over the moon, and even my boss hugged me and said “you’re going to be a mom!!!” And now this time i know I’m going to get tons of “hope this works out....” i know that people’s natural reaction will be apprehensive, but my sister in law announced she was pregnant and she everyone was SO excited. I just wish i would get the same reaction 😔
My first baby didn’t deserve people saying “it just wasn’t meant to be.” “Better now than later...” etc. and this baby doesn’t deserve “ hopefully everything works out....”
I’ve tried explaining to my husband that i don’t want to tell people “because of what happened last time.” I don’t want to tell them because i feel no one will be genuinely happy for us. I feel like they’re just going to expect another miscarriage 😔
