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 🥲

I 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.
