I also miscarried, and I also dreaded telling people when I got pregnant again. Everyone else was so excited that I had my 12 week ultrasound because then we could tell, but I was not. I was still scared that something would happen and then I'd have to share my bad news with everyone. But I figured we'd have to tell eventually, people would start figuring it out, and I just went ahead and did it. People were obviously excited for me and it was hard for me to share in that excitement, but as the pregnancy went on it got easier and easier and I finally did let myself feel excited.

It's your pregnancy and baby, so you should get to tell people when you're good and ready. Only you can decide that. Wishing you a healthy and easy pregnancy!

I definitely felt the same way after going through MC. That nagging feeling never really went away for me. Every little thing warranted a minor panic attack. We did wait until we were 20+ weeks to announce to our larger network of friends, but started telling close family and friends after 8 weeks (out of necessity because I couldn't attend an important family event because of the pregnancy).

Everything turned out fine and better than expected for us so it was just my anxious self getting worked up over nothing. It's normal to be worried-- you're carrying precious cargo! You'll definitely be more relieved once the baby starts moving regularly. Hoping for all the best for you and your little one!

I'm only 7.5 weeks and have seen the heartbeat. I'll hopefully see it again on Thursday. I'm not confident at all even though I have no reason not to be with a good family history and a heartbeat. I don't know when we'll announce it to be honest. He's hardcore on the 12 weeks which I am too. We'll see on announcing it. I'm feeling more and more pregnant these days and have to stop peeing on sticks since I saw the heartbeat. Everything seems fine. I feel like I'm still in denial about the whole thing at times.

I never miscarried, never had any health issues, and am a relatively young mom... yet I *still* felt exactly the same way. It was so hard for me to accept that there was a healthy baby inside me, and I questioned every symptom (or lack thereof). Unfortunately that feeling didn't go away for me until around 20 weeks when I could feel the baby moving regularly. I guess I'm just destined to be a nervous mom...

I feel exactly the same way. I miscarried last year and it took almost a year to pregnant again. I'm now 10w4d and definitely waiting til we see the baby again after our NT scan. Both my DH and I are very nervous that something will go wrong even though everything is pointing to a healthy pregnancy and we already saw our little one and his/her heart beating away and we even got a little arm movement. I feel your anxiety and hope we all are confident to share with friends and family soon!
