Secret miscarriage

Alejandra

Did any of you keep your miscarriage a secret?

Because of past miscarriages my husband and I decided not to announce our pregnancy when I found out at 4 weeks. I only told my best friend and that’s it. But then I miscarried at 11 weeks after being told baby stopped growing at 8 weeks. We still decided not to mention a thing even though I’ve been struggling. I feel like this pregnancy was so precious after a miscarriage and ttc for 2 1/2 years that I don’t want to taint it with other people’s thoughts, opinions, or unsolicited advice. Everyone seems to always have something to say... “It’ll happen” “Things happen for a reason” “It wasn’t meant to be” but then again I don’t want to go on with my life and not have important people around me know about this significant part of my life. I’ve thought about telling my parents and sister but I don’t know.

Any thoughts on what I should do?
