Fear of announcing my pregnancy.
Hi mummies! Im alr into my 2nd trimester and i fear so much to announce my pregnancy to my close ones. My previous 2 pregnancy didnt make it till 2nd trimester but apparently everyone knows abt the pregnancy before it was lost. We only told our FIL abt the pregnancy and he went ard telling everyone 😔 So now i just fear that not everything will go on smoothly due to the trauma i had previously. I also need to inform my workplace about my pregnancy as i will be needing to wear maternity dress soon seeing how my baby bump is making my uniform tight 🥲
Hey there, mama! Firstly, congratulations on making it to your second trimester! It's understandable that you're feeling anxious about announcing your pregnancy, especially after experiencing losses before. It's tough when well-meaning but sometimes overexcited relatives share news prematurely. First things first, take a deep breath. Remember, this is your journey, and you're in control of how and when you share your joyous news. It might be helpful to choose a select few trusted friends or family members to confide in first, those who will support and respect your privacy. When it comes to informing your workplace, try not to stress too much. Legally, you're entitled to maternity leave, so it's essential to inform your employer sooner rather than later. Perhaps you could schedule a private meeting with your HR department or supervisor to discuss your pregnancy and any necessary accommodations. Most workplaces are understanding and accommodating when it comes to maternity needs. As for your expanding baby bump causing uniform troubles, it sounds like it's time to embrace some comfy maternity wear! Maternity dresses can be both stylish and accommodating for your growing belly. Don't hesitate to invest in a few pieces that make you feel good and comfortable throughout your pregnancy. Remember, it's okay to feel nervous given your past experiences, but try to focus on the present moment and the excitement of this new chapter. Take things one step at a time, and don't hesitate to lean on your support system for reassurance and encouragement. You've got this, mama! Mama's Choice $18 voucher 👉🏻 https://invl.io/cll6she
Read moreI understand how you feel. I experienced similar situation too. I found out I was pregnant the week after I accepted my new job offer. I thought my new employer might mind so I wanted to inform them in case they change their mind. They didn't mind but a month later I miscarried. On my first day everyone asked me how far along I was, I can't help it but feel sad and at the same time I have to update that I miscarried. I think 2nd trimester should be a good time to inform, based on your scans and tests, you more or less will know if your pregnancy is stable. when you are ready, find a good time and share this good news with your family and colleagues.
Read moreI had the same fear as you. I didn't even tell my parents for fear of disappointing them if I miscarried. But I plucked up my courage and started telling my family and close friends at 12th week after my NT scan. I think the baby should be more stable in 2nd trimester already.
