When did you announce your rainbow’s pregnancy ?

Question

I will be 15 weeks in 2 days. I lost my angel baby, 8 years ago in the first trimester. I understand that every woman chooses to tell people at different times, but I want to know like when I’m in the clear to do so with a less likely chance of a miscarriage. I know that it can happen at any week, but when are the chances less likely to happen. I want to share but I’m so scared as this is my rainbow and I don’t want to have to talk to people about it ...if things go wrong 😑.

Answer

We told the nuclear family after the positive test, close family/friends towards the end of first trimester, broader networks after mid 2 trimester. I don't think we'll announce on social media until the birth.

Answer

I've had 6 miscarriages between 2019-2022 and currently 24weeks  pregnant with my rainbow. I never did any official announcements on social media. I told people either in person or on the phone. With all my pregnancies I always told my parents, sister and two of my sister in law's as soon as I found out. They were also my support system when I had the miscarriages. 
My brother this time, found out at 12weeks as did my children. My other in law's only found out last week. Some of my friends found out during the first trimester. My husband told some of his friends after the 20 weeks scan. Others don't even know yet.

Answer

I’m almost 16 weeks now but we’ll be announcing at 20 weeks after our anatomy scan! Mostly so I have a sweet ultrasound photo of our girl and know without a doubt that everything is moving along okay with her. I just feel more at ease after that scan and we are doing it at the high risk center so I think I’ll be ready to announce after they’ve checked her out and I can see that she’s healthy and thriving. It’s hard when you’ve experienced loss and you’re just anxious... but we’re making it!!

Answer

I had a miscarriage at 15 weeks n 26 weeks .. if I could go my entire pregnancy without telling people I would … but most  people will know tomorrow because I’ll be coming out of uniform … I’m not telling social media tho

Answer

I waited until 18 weeks with our rainbow baby. We lost our first somewhere between 6-10 weeks (MMC). Had an ultrasound at 6.5 weeks and saw the little heart flickering. At my next appointment I should have been 10 weeks but there was no baby, just an empty sac with no signs of a miscarriage at all. So the second time around we waited a while to announce. We had a healthy, 10lb 1 oz baby boy.
I'm pregnant for the third time with baby number 2 now, another boy. We told our parents around 11-12 weeks but, only because my dad was in the hospital due to cancer. Then announced to everyone else at 15 weeks.

Answer

I lost my sweet girl at 20 weeks due to incompetent cervix. I now get stitches in cervix to help carry babies and I have full term now with them. So we tell them (close friends and family) when we get stitches (14weeks). Social media we do between 16-20 weeks. Whenever you feel ready. 💕

Answer

I told close family and friends within 48 hours of the positive test, and we announced on socials at 11 weeks. We also told people as we saw them before then. Our thought process was that we told people who care about us, and we wanted to share our joy with them. We also wanted a strong support network if anything didn’t go well.
