Thank You to Everyone for Their Support

Hi C.,

Congratulations!! My rule of thumb has been this: When I was newly pregnant, I told family members who would know if something were to happen. For example, I couldn't imagine keeping news like that from my mil, my sis in law, etc. So one of my pregnancies ended up being an ectopic, which I ended up going to the hospital for. So imagine how weird it would have been for those people close to me to get a phone call that I was in the hospital for an ectopic pregnancy. I would wait on co-workers, acquaintances, etc. I hope you have a wonderful pregnancy and congratulations again!

Having been through the pain of a miscarriage, I'm beggin you to wait until after the 3 month mark. It was bad enough losing the baby, but then to have to tell person after person after person was agonizing. You have to grieve all over again every time. SO not worth it!

Having said that, congratulations on the pregnancy!! It's a very exciting time and I wish you all the best for a safe, easy pregnancy and quick and painless delivery!! Take care.

I don't think there's any right or wrong answer here. The time is right, when you personally feel its right for you. Some for superstitious reasons choose to wait, but there's no reason you can't tell people now if you're comfortable with it.

I always told everyone in our immediate circle right away. I figured that was more people to share in our joy and to pray for us.

Congratulations!

Coming from experiencing two miscarriages, I would say tell your closest friends and family (I could never hold it back) because they will be the ones you will want to have there supporting you if, god forbid, something were to go wrong. One of the hardest parts about a miscarriage is having to explain it over and over if you've told a ton of people. I was very sad, but oddly enough I felt like I was letting other people down as well when I had to tell them I wasn't pregnant anymore. But it's really a personal choice. With my daughter, I was a little nervous, so I just waited to tell until people started asking me. All went well with that pregnancy, and I loved every minute of it. Congratulations!!

If you told your girlfriends, or asked them when to tell other people, you have told someone else already. Hope you have a fantastic pregnancy and enjoy your little miracle. Good luck with everything.

I heard that after you hear the heart beat for the first time it's pretty safe to tell everyone! Congrats!!

Well, it kind of depends on the kind of person you are. I told people right away, because if I had miscarried, I would have depended on those same people to support me through that. If you are a private person and like all of those kinds of personal things kept to yourself, then waiting is a better idea. I personally am gald that I told people the minute I found out, it was fun and helpful to be able to talk about it. Even if something bad had happened, I'm the kind of person who would want to talk about it so it personally wouldn't have bothered me if people already knew I was pregnant.

I've had 3 pregnancies but only one live birth. I found that having people know gave me the support and understanding when the miscarriages happened. I was extremely upset with both miscarriages and there was no way I would have been able to hide the pain.

I always liked to wait, you stay skinner longer if no-one knows. Also I didn't want everyone bugging me for 9 months, telling me what to do, what I shouldn't do, how and when to eat, how much to gain, etc. Plus you will hear everyones stories and not that that's bad, But everyone will give you their 2 cents. And for some reason they don't bug you as much if they find out when your 4 or 5 months along, they figure you have handled it by yourself all this time you must be okay.

Remember this is only my opinion. You need to do what's best for you and your baby. It was kinda fun knowing we had this big secret. But if your family is close and not buggy then tell, it's great news and most likely you will want to share every moment with them anyway. Congrats to you, I pray that every thing will go well and you'll have a perfect baby. Good Luck! (With family) J. P.

I would only say wait till at least 3 months because I've been in the situation where I had to explain to people why I wasn't pregnant anymore after miscarrying. Its very difficult. Most pregnancies go to full term if they make it past the 3 month mark, though that is no guarantee of course.

Congratulations to you, whatever you decide, all that matters is that you're comfortable with the decision.

When I found out the news that I was pregnant I told everyone right away. I was so happy. I had tried to get pregnant with my husband but couldn't so when I started feeling a little queezy during the day and noticed that I had missed my period I started to get very excited. Knowing that I was pregnant made me so happy that I couldn't keep it to myself ..... so I didn't.

as a mother of 3 I told everyone I was pregnant right away I was so happy all 3 times there was no way I could wait. but there are some people that are very private I worked with one who was so concerned that people would find out she was pregnant before she wanted our salon to know she would wear this big black smock. so I asked her why, and she said because if she lost the baby she couldn't face the poor sympathy faces everyone would give her. I was different and if I lost the baby at least people would understand why I was sad and out of wack. different people different feelings. so do what works best for you and revel in the fact that you are pregnant and going to carry life inside you. for me it's been the greastest thing in my life! good luck and congradulations!

Congrats first of all : )
when we found out i was only three weeks and told everyone that same day. I was too excited to hide it, i hadnt even gone to to doctors to confirm ( opps )
so just tell everyone whenever you feel confortable!
Good luck with everthing!

C.,
Congratulations! All joy and great health to you !
I would wait. We told everyone and then I miscarried at 10 weeks. Then I had to tell everybody that, and it was an ordeal. The majority of women were very sympathetic and that's when I found out how common miscarraiages really are.
Take your time, share this news sparingly and then make your news known later, maybe when you start to show.
Best wishes!

There's no "safe" time, and there's no right or wrong answer. Tell people when you feel like telling them.

Hi C.! I told everyone I was pregnant around 6 weeks (when I realized it myself). A girlfriend of mine tell anyone, not even me, until after her 3rd month. I guess it just depends on how you feel. The first 3 months are the riskiest in terms of keeping the pregnancy, which is why some moms wait. However, I'm not able to keep anything about me secret, so it's really just up to you.

Hi C., I told people the day I found out, why wait? J.

CONGRATS! I just had my first almost 5 months ago! I hadn't even gone to the doctor to confirm yet when my husband was calling all our family and friends...just from 1 home pee test! It all turned out fabulous and we have an amazing little boy! I say it's too torturous to keep it inside when you are bubbling over with excitement! Take care!

First off Congrats C.! You must be so excited! Personally, I told my close family and a few friends as soon as I found out (at about 5 weeks also) with my first pregnancy. He's now 20 months old :) I miscarried earlier this year and again, had told close family and friends only, it felt different the second time around and for some reason I knew something was not right and decided not to let everyone in on the secret. After I miscarried, it was those few who I had told that helped me through it. Do whatever YOU feel comfortable with and don't let anyone tell you any different. With my son, I had a few people give me negative feedback about the whole "waiting till you're 3 months along" and it just made me feel awful! Do whatever your heart tells you to, I am sure you'll be just fine. Welocome to the club! You're life will never be the same! Motherhood is not for wimps, yet it is the most rewarding job in the world. I love being a mother! :)

Hello! Congratulations on your pregnancy. As for telling .... it depends on your needs. I told people because I knew that if something did happen and I had a miscarrage that I would have to tell them then, so .... it was easier for me that all my important people already knew. That way I already had their support up front. Good Luck and enjoy your pregnancy!

me and DH kept it our little secret for a few weeks just to savor it. but you already told people, so go ahead and shout it from the roof tops! Congrats to you guys!

Congratulations C.!!! It's v. exciting. I am 8 months with my first pregnancy (not high risk) & at my husband's urging, I only told my closest two friends and my sister before 3 months. I didn't even tell my father b/c if anything happened, I didn't want him to get upset. It's truly a roller-coaster ride even if you're not high risk. We have had friends go both ways - one told us at 2 weeks after her pregnancy test and everything was fine, but, if you choose to do that, I would definitely not tell people at work or acquaintances b/c you don't want to set yourself up to have to explain anything later. I guess my advice is the same as your friends' advice!! It's really up to you but you want to make things easy on YOU at this time and the first trimester can be tenuous.
Congrats again and wishing you all the best!!!

I would wait until you hear the baby's heartbeat, around 10 weeks. I miscarried at 11 weeks (we hadn't heard the heart beat at 10 weeks, the baby died around 6 weeks) and it was really difficult to have people ask me how the pregnancy was going months after I miscarried. I've also been on the other end, and felt very awkward when I asked an acquaintance how a pregnancy was going only to hear that she had miscarried. I agree telling close family is fine, but ask them to keep it quiet until your further along.
Congratulations!

Hi C.,

Just share with the people who will celebrate your happiness with you. Some people criticize no matter WHAT you do or say. Just be selective. You know, this world is so messed up, a bit of peace and good news that a new person is coming to be with us should be welcome.

C. N.

The tradition to wait until 3 months is because it is common to have miscarriages up until 3 months. It is less common after 3 months. So, let's say worst case scenario...if you miscarry, would like to tell everyone that you miscarried and they can comfort you? Or would you rather not have everyone asking you about it and grieve quietly without anyone knowing of your loss?
R.

Any time your sweet self feels like it. This is the time of joy and be proud of who u r going to b. Don't let others make u feel other wise. Be a woman about it girl.
Adios Amiga,
Me

C.,

This is your 1st child, the whole world should've known by now!! There should be no reason why you wouldn't want to tell everyone anyway. Your going to be parents, be proud and say it loud!! :)

Congratulations to you and your Husband! How wonderful!

In my situation... with my first pregnancy, we told people, including immediate family, at 3 months. With my second pregnancy, we told immediate family and my best friend sooner like in the first month... however, at 6 weeks, I had a miscarriage. Fortunately, about 8 months later, I became pregnant again with my son, and at this time around, we told everyone after the 3 month mark. To be on the safe side.

It's hard to keep it to yourself... being it's such an exciting time. But, if I had to do it again, I would wait 3 months before telling the world about it. This is because I had the miscarriage previously, as I mentioned. Although, I was not "high risk" in any of my pregnancies as well.

If you are working... it depends on when you would tell your employer... this varies as well.

Just sharing what I did and experienced. Discuss with your Hubby and see what you are both comfortable with. Each couple is different.

All the best, and pamper yourself, rest when you need to and enjoy every minute of it.. what a special time!
Oh, the book "What To Expect When You're Expecting" by Arlene Eisenberg is a great book! I would recommend it highly!

take care,
~Susan

If you aren't high risk and you get enough vitamin B (vitamin B is cruicial for zygote growth-if you're empty of vitamin B's the baby cannot grow and it is one of the most common causes, although not the only, for miscarriage. The best source for vitamin B is natural sources aka high fiber foods) then announcing it as soon as you feel ready is a super idea! The next step is deciding HOW to announce it which can be LOTS of fun!

It is fun to develop your own style! We have had 5 kids. We announced the pregnancies differently each time.

C.,

I told my close friends and family when I first found out. We (my husband and I) waited until we saw my OB before telling everyone else. I received so much advice from people that I became numb. If you want to tell people do it - you are the best judge of your body and that little wonder growing inside of you. Forget what people say and do what you feel is right. We now have a happy and healthy 7 month old girl.

First of all congratulations! It is really up to you. My first pregnancy was just like yours, I was 33 no risk, and we told the world. My 8 week check up showed the baby was small, 2 weeks later it had not grown and had no heartbeat. We then had to tell the whole world we lost the baby. I conceived my wonderful son 3 mo later, and just delivered wonderful son #2 5 mo ago. If heaven forbid you suffer a loss and don't mind sharing the loss then spread the news. If you prefer for everyone to not know your business then maybe wait until at least your first ultrasound to see how things are going. Best wishes on this new and exciting adventure!

When I found out I was pregnant I was barely a few weeks along- I immediately called my mom, my cousin, my best friend, my work, etc.! I later found out that people usually wait until after 13 weeks because that is when your risk for a miscarriage greatly decreases. I ended up with no problems and having twins.
I think it's safe to tell the people closest to you, like your BF, sister, mother- those are the people who will comfort you if you have a miscarriage as well (assuming you would tell them) so go ahead and tell them, you're so excited, let them jump up and down with you!!!
Maybe wait to tell more distant relatives, aquaintences, your work, etc. - let them know in a couple months after your ultrasound shows everything is A OKAY.
Congratulations to you and your husband!!!

I always told people the minute I peed on the stick. I figured that if something were to happen (i.e. miscarriage) I'd need support from my family and friends. Congratulations on the pregnancy! :)

Congrats! This is such an exciting time. In my opinion there is no reason why you can't spread the good news now. In my experience i divulged my good news as soon as I found out on my 3 pregnancies, even though I misscarried once having friends and family know helped in my time of need. Good luck!

C.---TELL THEM NOW!!!!
They are probably wondering if you two will ever have children!
For God sakes woman what are you waiting for??

Good Luck
and enjoy it they grow up sooo fast!!
C. S.

I waited for 10 weeks.. but only because I waited till Christmas :-) Otherwise, I would tell them right away. Be positive and everything will go great. Congratulations!

Congratulations!!!
I myself am pregnant as well..about 31 weeks.
I waited about 8 weeks to tell people..after the
first ultrasound so we knew better what we were
dealing with. I think telling close friends and family
right away isnt a problem since they can offer words of
encourgment or even a shoulder to cry on *IF* God forbid
something happen. Plus its really hard once morning
sickness hits to hide the fact your pregnant. believe me
people will ask hehe.
Good luck!!

A lot of people wait to tell because the risk of miscarriage is highest before 3 months. With my first pregnancy, I told everyone right away, then I had a miscarriage, so I had to tell everyone the bad news. With my next pregnancy, I went ahead and told everyone right away again, but that one worked out. I think it would be hard to wait to tell people the news, but it's up to you. Whatever you feel comfortable with.

Congratulations!!! When we found out we were pregnant with our son, my husband disagreed as to when we should tell everyone. He thought we should wait and I just couldn't wait (we were pregnant one month after marrying)so I told my parents and siblings almost immediately and he told his side of the family in my third month. If you have been told by your doctor that your baby is okay and you're not high risk, then the chances are everything will continue to be okay so I would tell and let everyone share your joy. At the very worst, if God forbid something should happen, then you will also have a loving safety net to fall back on and support you when you would need it most. Good luck to you and yours....may you be blessed with a happy and healthy pregnancy and delivery.

It's a totally personal decision... whatever you feel is right for you.

I waited... I sort of enjoyed having our secret :)

We told family and close friends as soon as we found out. People we are just casual friends with we waited and let it come up naturally. It's fun to share the excitement and if you're not high risk where's the harm in spilling the beans!

My friend once put it this way: Tell the people who would be supportive if by chance something awful did happen early on, like a miscarriage, that you're pregnant. Otherwise, wait until you're in the clear, 13 weeks or after your first trimester.

A lot of people stick to the "over with the first trimester" thing. That's really never worked for me because I'm so sick and tired for the first trimester. For me, if people didn't know, I wouldn't be able to get through it all...or they'd figure it out anyway!

Most people also don't want to tell because of the fear of miscarriage. You can look at that two ways. If it happens and people know, you have a group to support you through things and be there for you, but if you struggle with dealing with people's "pity" that might be hard. If it happens and people don't know, you go through that pain just you and your husband, but it may be easier to face that way. Just depends on who you are...

Chances are...you're just fine and the pregnancy is too!

Good luck!

I told everyone right away with both pregnancies. My thought was that if I did lose it everyone would would be asking why I was sad anyway. This way, they'd all at least know the back story, right

I always waited until the 12th week. I was never at risk for complication either, but my husband and I waited to tell the general public so that we wouldn't have to share our sorrows if something happened. Of course, we told our immediate family regardless.

Congratulations!!!!

The moment you find out is a great time!!!! Celebrate every day of it.

I would of told them when I had found out. Having a first child is a blessing and I'm sure your families feel the same way. Your baby was conceived with love and now everyone can help you with the preparations of your new one. Congratulations and best wishes. Ann Y

Tell the people you want to support you if something happens. You don't want to tell just anybody. But you will need to tell people who can support you when you feel sick or tired or etc. If you have morning sickness and people don't understand why you are running to the bathroom every 5 min. or if you are at home sick. Then, of course share the news so that you get the support you need at this precious time. Congrats.

Hi C.,

Wait until you're done with your first trimester. Even if you're not a "high risk" pregnancy you can still have a miscarriage. I did at 11 1/2 weeks and I wasn't high risk either. Miscarriage rate is about 25%. Just enjoy this time with your husband while your little baby grows and when it's time to tell everyone - you'll know! Congrats.

I would tell people right away so they can share in your happiness. People will also be there to support you if something goes wrong. Hopefully you will have a wonderful pregnancy and everyone you love can be so happy for you too.00000

I initially thought we shouldn't tell anyone for 3 months. But the excitement was so overwhelming that we told everyone at around 5 weeks. Do what feels best to you - can you hold it in for 8 or 9 more weeks?
However if you are working, I would advise not mentioning to anyone at work until you are showing so much it is impossible to hide. If you need to modify your job description because of the pregnancy have your doctor write a note, not mentioning it.
Congratulations on your pregnancy!

It really depends on what you are comfortable with. I think the reason most people wait is just because of the higher "risk" of miscarriage in the early months. Miscarriage is more common that I ever knew, until I experienced it. With my first pregnancy, we were so excited and my husband is a very social, talkative fellow, so EVERYONE knew we were expecting, including grocery store clerks and the hostesses and waiters at our favorite restaurant. I was fine with this, until I miscarried. I never expected to have a miscarriage (all of the women in my family are incredibly fertile and I don't know of anyone in my family having a miscarriage so I just thought it was something that happened to "other people"). It made it really difficult a month later when perfect strangers were asking how I was feeling, if I was "showing," and if I was feeling the baby moving yet, etc. All of those inquiries were not as difficult for my husband (though he was devastated by the loss of our baby), he had no trouble telling people what had happened. Like I said, he is very social, and he is an extrovert so maybe that is why he didn't mind it. I am completely opposite of him and I really did not want to share my grief with strangers. I was fine with family and close friends, but not with people I only knew nominally.
When we got pregnant again just a couple of months later (good news - this one was a keeper! he is 3 years old now), we did not tell anyone but our family and close friends, just in case.
Hopefully, you will not have the same experience. I know you don't want to think about miscarriage right now, but just consider how you think you would feel if it did happen, whether you would prefer not to have to talk to everyone about it. For me, it was just the one miscarriage and then I carried two beautiful babies to term after that with no other problems, but we were still careful in the beginning about telling too many people.
Congratulations to you and your husband! I hope you enjoy this pregnancy to the fullest!

I see you've already gotten tons of responses, but wanted to throw out my two-cents anyway. I concur with a lot of them... it's really about what you're comfortable with and who you'd want behind you if something did go horribly wrong. I, too, was bursting with excitment and told a handful of close people right away (I hadn't even missed my period yet when I found out) but waited on the work and not-so-close acquaintances. I'm so excited for you... enjoy every minute and take care of yourself. Sleep when you can because you'll need it come delivery and afterwards. Motherhood rocks!

Since you are not a high risk pregnancy, I think you may tell anytime. When I was a pregnant, I waited until people ask me.

Enjoy this wonderful moment of your life!!!
Congratulations~

Hi C.:
Congrats to you both!! You must be BUSTING with excitment!!If I were you, I'd tell anyone and everyone! Heck, even the MAILMAN would know about it!! (HELLO HELLO...is this blockbuster video??? GUESS WHAT??? WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A BABY!! The odds of you having complications are very very low,and its important for you and your husband to not only celebrate,but to have nothing but OPTIMISTIC thoughts,hopes and dreams,about your soon to be FAMILY! AGAIN, CONGRATULATIONS,I wish you a healthy,wonderful, pregnancy! J.

I don't know how you can keep it a secret any longer. I'd be bursting at the seams -- such an exciting time for a young couple. No previous complications -- I say announce it to the world!! Good luck.

Congratulations! You have gotten alot of advice but I will give you my two cents as well. We are 7 months pregnant with our second son! What we did is tell family and close friends immediately so we would have those closest to us share the joy and excitement with us and, God forbid, if anything was to happen, this would be the group of people I would turn to for support.

Others like work associates I waited until as close to three months as I could. If someone asked me outright I would tell them but ask that they keep it private until I passed the higher risk time of the first three months. I just didn’t want to have to deal with people that I wasn’t close with if something was to happen. This approach worked great for me both times! Enjoy your pregnancy!

Only tell those people that you would want asking you questions later IF you had a miscarriage. In other words, you don't want to be telling that over and over. So tell a few close friends or family or wait a bit, although it's so hard I know. Congrats, hope you're able to stay home and raise your miracle. Breast feeding is BEST!!

In the old days you didn't even know until you were two months along or so. These days we know before we even miss our periods. Just decide what you are comfortable with knowing that most miscariages happen in the first trimester. For me, I told close friends and family at two weeks and waited as long as I could conceal it from my work.
My pregnant coworkers either waited 3-4 months or told as soon as they knew. If you are a self revealing kind of person who can also deal with the remote possibility of openly discussing a miscariage- than tell. If you're the private type and the idea untelling people about a pregnancy terrifies you- the keep the lid on it.

Hi C., let me first start off by saying Congrats!!!! A child is a wonderful gift from God! when I was pregnant with my son, the doctor told me that 3 months was the safe mark. I couldn't wait to tell everyone though. It took my husband and I over a year and a half before we finally got pregnant so I told everyone right away. It's really up to you. I would do what ever makes you comfortable but if your friends already know then I would tell everyone else too!

except for the people closest to you-i would only tell now -if you cant hold it in!but otherwise i would wait till you are @ least 3 months

Congratulations!
With my 2 boys we told practially everyone we knew within the first week of the positive pregnancy test. Last year I became pregnant for a third time unexpectidly. Because it came as a surprise to us we didn't tell all but I think 3 people. We finally started to tell people at the end of my 7th week, the day before we were going to be going to Disneyland with a large group of friends. We figured we should tell everyone before they saw me "acting weird" at the park not going on rides etc. I miscarried 3 days later.
We're now open to another pregnancy and have decided that if I get pregnant again we're telling everyone right away again. I have 2 beautiful boys from telling everyone immediately, I lost one for waiting.

Hi- We waited 3 months and after my CVS test. Miscarriages happen- I also was not high risk but lost my first. Sometimes it just doesn't develop and its natures way. The worst part was telling people that I wasn't pregnant anymore. So you just have to weigh if you are okay with undoing the news if it is not viable. Not being negative just speaking from experience. I did share with my sisters and best friend because I couldn't keep it a secret from everyone I was bursting with the news! Best of luck.

Congratulations!!!
I bet you are so excited and ready to share your wonderful news with the world! News this good is hard to keep to yourself, so tell those who are closest to you (mom, best friends, sister). But my advice is to wait a little longer to tell more people. Two years after having my first, I got pregnant and told people right away (who told people and the news spread quick). At only 6 wks I miscarried. "Untelling" a bunch of people is really hard and super depressing... no one knows what to really say to you. I had what was called a chemical pregnancy, where the egg fertilizes but does not implant, yet a home pregnancy reads it as positive. I would definitely wait until your 8 week appointment, get that ultrasound and hear it from your OB-gyn that all is good. If, God forbid, anything like this should happen, you will need the support and love from your closest family and friends. So it's okay to share your news with your support system now, for sure! But enjoy this time, stay positive, and I hope all things go wonderfully for you! :)

C.,

Congratulations. Parenthood is wonderful. Ultimately, I think you need to do what you feel. If you do decide to tell people, make sure that people whose support you would seek if anything happens are diffinitely first. As long as you don't have any foreseable problems, you should just revel in your happiness.

A few broken thoughts from my own experience:
I have mixed feelings about it. My first 2 pregnancies went off without a hitch. It seemed as if I got pregnant and had the babies in no time at all and without any complications. We told anyone and everyone who cared to listen.

I miscarried my third pregnancy at about 8 weeks and was completely taken by surprise. According to my doctor, often the body ends a pregnancy in the first trimester without any explanation. It was heartbreaking, but in the end I figured that there must have been something wrong so it wasn't meant to be, so when people brought it up, it wasn't so painful anymore as I had come to terms with it- though it still hurts a little. On my fourth, we did wait til well into the second trimester before spreading the news.

Another mother mentioned going to Disneyland and miscarrying 3 days later. I didn't really think about it before, but I went to Magic Mountain (no rides) on a Sunday and miscarried on Thursday. Just take really good care of yourself and don't put any undue stress on your body. It seems even just walking too much is TOO MUCH.

Sorry for the random thoughts thrown together.

Best Wishes
-I.

I know in certain religions people do not say anything until 3 months. When I was pregnant at 30 with my son, we told everybody at 6 weeks and I was already feeling morning sickness. This last time around when I got pregnant at 44 years old, we waited a while because I had had several miscarriages.

Congratulations! Wonderful news. Sounds like you've gotten some great advice here so far. Go with your 'gut' and do what feels natural for you. Sounds like you are eager to tell people, which is great. Of course there are always risks but it just boils down to what you're comfortable with. As others have said, there is no 'safe' time; I had 2 healthy pregnancies followed by 2 miscarriages that were late 1st trimester / early 2nd trimester (strong heartbeats in both). I was totally blindsided but it was very helpful that atleast some people knew about the pregnancies so that they could support my husband and me. (with my 1st pregnancy, I told people around 8 wks. with my 2nd, I told everyone immediately, around 4 wks! with the 3rd, I think we told people early too but then we lost it at 13 wks so the 4th time around, we told almost no one until about 13 wks, but then lost it 2 wks later.) Not trying to scare you here; like I said, I was in a very small percentage of people. No matter what happens, it's important to have loving and supportive friends and family around you. Good luck and I wish for you a safe, healthy and happy pregnancy.

The way I look at pregnancy is that everyday your pregnant is a blessing and should be celebrated. If something did happen to my baby the people I would turn to for support would be family and friends and I don't want to do a bunch of explaining after the fact. So we all but shouted it from the roof tops when we found out. JMO - Good Luck, Congratzz and a Happy & Healthy 9 to you!!!
