I misscarried at 13 weeks last year, and me and the husband are trying again. At first we kept it a secret that we were trying and were planning on announcing with a gender reveal at 4/5 months.

But I realized me and hubby will be experiancing the worry and fear alone for those first months. And if (God forbid) I miscarry again it wont be a secret because we will be devastated and I'll have to call out of work (work is like family to me so word will get around). And why should we suffer alone, in silence?

Most of all though, I want to be completely transparent with my ttc experience. It's something I knew nothing about until I got pregnant last year (it was a happy accident) and I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY by how much I didnt know about my own body! I believe we women take on so much- too much- by ourselves. This is an experiance I would love to be completely open about in order to spark conversation and to teach those around me. So me and hubby will tell our close friends and family the second we find out, everyone knows we are currently trying. It's been great being able to vent and openly talk about it.

Loss something far too many of us go through and we only learn and talk about it when it happens- which is too late if you ask me.

What do you ladies think?
