Just post that you wanna share with everyone that you unfortunately lost the baby but you appreciated all the love and support you recieved. Sorry for your loss momma. I know its painful
Jumped the gun
When I first found out I was pregnant, I intended to wait until after my first trimester before announcing it on Facebook. Excitement got the better of me and I posted it anyway. Well, obviously now everyone thinks I'm still pregnant. I had a mc last week. I'm going to have to tell everyone eventually (or I will get strange looks when I decide to have a beer). Has anyone had this happen to them? How did you tell people? I really don't want sympathy, I just want everyone to know the truth. And I'm also a little embarrassed too.

I never announced pregnancy but I did put we had a MC on FB. The support I got was amazing and helped me get through it. It's amazing how you feel like you're the only one bc no one talks about it. People came out of the woodwork. I had several people tell me that they finally got closure even 20+ years later bc they had NEVER told anyone. It's hard and I'm so sorry for your loss. It seems hard now and conflicting how to tell people, but I think you'll be amazed at how helpful it actually is
Don't ever be embarrassed for "jumping the gun" and telling people. You were excited about the promise of a child and there is nothing wrong with that. We told people early too and I don't regret it.

Feeling embarrassed implies shame and you did nothing wrong! Tell or not tell, do whatever makes you comfortable. There is no wrong way to grieve. God bless you and I am so sorry for gou
Don't be embarrassed. I think we should always celebrate life even if that life only last a couple of weeks. I wish I told more people about the pregnancy bc now I feel like more people know about the miscarriage than who knew I was pregnant and they didn't get to celebrate the joy with me just the sympathy.
We told our immediate family on Thanksgiving. I was about 5 weeks along. Miscarried the next day. My husbands family and my own were so supportive. I'm glad I had them and I'm glad they knew. No one else knows as I didn't post anything. We just started trying again and I will do the same when we get pregnant again. I will only tell close family and will wait until at least 12 weeks to tell Facebook. I'm going to put a conscious effort into not letting my fear from my last miscarriage take away from my excitement for the next one.

Our parents knew as well and it was so sad as it was the first grandbaby on both sides. It was a heart wrenching situation. I was a nervous wreck early pregnancy. I bought a Doppler because for added fun I have an anterior placenta so I don't feel movement. Doppler is AMAZING ❤ Sorry for your loss

I have the same attitude. I want to feel excited and hopeful if we get pregnant again, even if I do feel more nervous and a bit sad about trying again.
We told people right away. I have had 2 perfect pregnancy before this recent loss. We just lost ours 2 days ago and it hurts. The night we found out we called the important people (parents and siblings and really close friends) and told then first then we did a fb post to put the word out there. The support is overwhelming so in my opinion do it quick like a bandaid and take the time you need.
