When to tell your parents??

Question

I'm excited to tell my parents they're going to be grandparents but I'm so scared of losing it later as well. It's my first pregnancy, any ideas of how to tell them? But also how long should I wait? I only found out today...

Answer

This is my third pregnancy, with 2 miscarriages. 1st one I didn’t tell my parents, then they didn’t know I miscarried and I had to go through it alone
So the second time I told them at 5.5 weeks in a cute way and told them about the last miscarriage. I then lost again at 6.5 weeks and had to call to tell them. It was heartbreaking but I don’t regret telling them and they were able to support me.
I just found out I’m pregnant again and told them the same day I found out. No cute announcement, just face to face so they can pray for me and they really appreciated it.
I think it comes down to, IF you lost the pregnancy, would you want your parents support or would you rather go through it alone? If you want support then tell them while everything’s going well :) it makes it fun and exciting.

Answer

I had an early miscarriage with my first pregnancy, and no one ever knew but my husband. I wish I had told my mom because then she could have been there to support me.
With my second pregnancy, I told her right away because we thought we were losing the baby. She was right by my side and luckily everything was okay.
With my now third pregnancy, we plan to tell parents very soon. I want to do it in a special way, or I would have already told them. 
I know a lot of people want to wait because they don’t want the potential pain of having to tell others about a miscarriage. I’m of the thought that having support during it is essential, but it also normalizes it for other women. 
Tell them when you want! Don’t let made up rules dictate your choice 😌
