So I’ve had a loss myself in May of this year, and am pregnant again now (almost 10 weeks). When I did lose my pregnancy, I was quite vocal about it on my social media account (to break the stigma around it) and loads of people came forwards to chat about their losses.

I’m not in any way a public figure, but I do have the kind of account that I enjoy sharing my life on, and where I’ve made a big network of people who I can chat to and they can chat to. Some of these are parents (as I already have a 3 year old) and some are from the pregnancy loss community.

I’d like to know how I would navigate talking about my current pregnancy. I don’t want to keep it a secret, but I also want to be mindful of the fact that some people have started following me since I was vocal about our loss, and I would hate for anyone to feel upset by an announcement.

I don’t really even want a proper announcement, I won’t be posting scan pictures etc, but I also don’t want to keep this secret.

How would you want the news of a pregnancy sensitively announced to you?
