Rainbow baby Due June 2021 after ectopic pregnancy in April 2020

Elizabeth

Me and my partner found out on Monday last week 19th October that we are unexpectedly expecting our rainbow baby in June next year.

I'm in Australia (just for reference) and I went to my doctor on Wednesday for my initial appointment and he sent me to get bloods and book an ultrasound for when I'll be 5w6d. I got my bloods drawn on Thursday (day after appointment) and have booked my first ultrasound for next Friday (30th). I'm a nervous wreak because my doctor won't be calling me with results of my bloods until the 6th of November. And I will obvious know next Friday if our baby has stuck right where it is supposed to.

I'm hopeful because in April by this time I was in excruciating pain and bleeding heavily so I'm hopeful that this baby has stuck right and that in June I will be able to bring this little peanut home. But I'm still super anxious.

On another note when did you guys tell your parents and your partners parents? Did you tell them right away? Or wait till 6weeks or 8 weeks or after the 12weeks mark?

I feel guilty I havent told my parents yet because I usually tell them everything. And I feel guilty we haven't told my partners parents yet because we live with them and keeping this a secret has been hard work.
