Did you tell people about your MC if it was before you announced your pregnancy?

Question

I had my MC about 2 months ago and haven’t told any of my family. I never told them I was pregnant though as I was just over 5 weeks. I’m debating whether I should share it. I’ve come up with so many texts, but then delete them before sending... 
Did you share with your family if you didn’t share your announcement with them yet?

Answer

I did share with our close family and friends when I was pregnant with a precaution that it was early. I told them because if something happened I needed their support. I'm glad I did. The day after I miscarried my husband and I shared it on Facebook. This was my post:

We shouldn't have to suffer in silence or feel alone or embarrassed by the stigma. I got so much support from posting and I even got to be there for friends when it happened to them months later.    I'm so sorry for your loss 😢

Answer

I posted on Facebook explaining what happened. We had people coming up to us constantly asking when we were having number 2. I couldn’t handle it so I posted and that quickly stopped the comments. I was shocked at how much support I got. Lots of my friends messaged me saying they had a miscarriage and it definitely helped me feel less alone in the process. 
I keep my Facebook very limited so I know that’s not an option for a lot of people. Whenever you feel comfortable telling people, go for it. I hope you have the same positive experience I did when I shared.

Answer

I did after a couple months but only because people knew we were trying and kept asking when I was gonna he pregnant. I couldn’t talk about it for awhile. Plus the people that did know looked at me like I was broken and I couldn’t handle it!

Answer

I found out I was pregnant when I was miscarrying. I had no idea because I thought the plan B pill worked and took a test to be sure. I told friends because I was freaking out. I had blood work done and they said I’d be 4 weeks along but I was meant to be more 6-7

Answer

I told my friends and family I'd had a miscarriage. A few friends and my family knew I was pregnant anyway. It's rarely spoken about, I shared a mc story on my Facebook and the amount of people who commented to say they'd had one was unreal. It's good to talk xxx

Answer

My first miscarriage I told my family members early. I also shared them when I had a miscarriage at 7 weeks because I couldn't hide my emotions.
My second miscarriage I told my in laws, and my mum and then told the rest of the family when I had a miscarriage. I lost it at 5 weeks
For me it was nice to have that support, and I could talk about it with my sister in laws who also experienced miscarriages

Answer

I did. I planned to announce after the first trimester but ended up having a miscarriage at just under seven weeks. I told my parents the day I had my MC and I was glad I did so they could provide comfort. I told my sisters eventually as well. I’m a private person but it was nice to have support from those closest to me.
