What to do

Question

I’m currently 7 weeks pregnant, after having a miscarriage in June and a chemical at the end of September. I’m really happy and i really want to tell my mom, but I’m so nervous. I did not tell anyone i was pregnant the first time around, so when i did miscarry my fiancé and i had to suffer in silence. Some days i just want to tell her and other days i convince myself i need to wait just in case. Any one been in a similar situation?suggestions on what to do? 🫤

Answer

I had 2 miscarriages, one at 10 weeks and the second more recently at 6 weeks. For the first, we told a lot of people after a 7 week ultrasound where we saw the heartbeat and then had to untell many people a few weeks later which was heartbreaking. But at the same time, most people were either supportive or just avoided the subject. 
My advice would be to tell your mom. Every pregnancy should be celebrated.

Answer

Yeah you’re right. I’m sure I’ll feel better supported if it doesn’t go through. Thank you🙏🏽

Answer

I would tell her, I think you’ll feel better and like a weight is lifted if you do. I had a MMC at 12 weeks, we told everyone after our first appt when we saw the heartbeat then had to un-tell everyone after our 12 week scan had no heartbeat. I didn’t feel bad initially telling anyone, everything you read says the risk after heartbeat is detected is like 2% so we were all just assuming it was fine. If you’d tell them about a possible loss, you should tell them about a most likely healthy pregnancy! Odds are in your favor!
