youre 13 weeks the chances of anything happening is less then 1% so go ahead and share the news

Thanks, I think I will worry until the day the baby is here. I just need to have some faith.

Congrats on reaching the Second Trimester! I think you'll feel more excited once you start sharing the news!! Besides, you're going to start showing soon anyhow!! :o) I think this weekend is a good idea to start telling everyone your good news for the New Year!

Thanks!

thye didnt hear a heartbeat at 13 weeks? u should be able to hear the heartbeat with a dopppler at 13 i went to my appt at 13 and they heard it with a doppler.

I told everyone right when I found out. I'm 8w3d and the thought of miscarriage still scares me, but I've also heard that once you pass 12 weeks your chance of miscarriage is very slim. I don't know if you're a Believer, but the way I looked at it was the more people I tell, the more prayers I will have that this pregnancy will carry out and that I will deliver a healthy baby.

Wow, that is a great way to look at it, I am 8 weeks and terrified to tell people. I had some bleeding, and brown spotting and I am scared. It has been two weeks since the bleeding, still have occational spottng but my DR tells me it is old blood and ok. But hearing you word it like that really makes me at ease to tell people. Plus, if something bad was to happen at this point, i would want the support.

I've been pregnant 3 times in the last 12 months. The first two didn't stick and I'm just waiting to see if this one will. The first time I told everyone because I was so excited we were finally there. The second time I went ahead and told everyone because I too thought having the prayers and support was better than not. This time I have only told my friends on this forum (and dh, of course) and have no plans to tell anyone else for a while. I know everyone is praying for us anyway and I absolutely hated having to un-tell everyone I knew. Even though I knew everyone's hearts were in the right place having them bring it up to express their sympathy was terrible for me. You are past the point where miscarriage is still a big possibility but you should wait until you feel the time is right, no matter when that may be. Nothing will be served if you tell before you are comfortable and you should tell your husband that. It is great that he is excited but you really don't need any more stress or worry right now! H&H 9 mos to you!

hi..tina..
i think its fine to tell people now..the only reason y i think we shdnt tell people before 12 weeks is cos if u do misc,then u have to break the sad news to them again.- i understand the fear you are going thru..cos i have had 2 miscs..n i told people about it..im ttc now,hoping to get pg again n have my baby ..

I heard my baby's heartbeat at 7w 2d and was about 180bpm. I am now 11 weeks and listen to it every night before I go to bed! I think you just have to be patient because it is so tiny and we have more time to concentrate on finding it, whereas you have a time limit with an appointment.

My doc didn't want to look for the hb until my 14th week because the baby is still behind your pelvis making it hard to detect the h/b. Sometimes it can be heard but sometimes it can't. DONT WORRY! I told my family and friends at 6wks because I was excited, but waited until I was 15 wks to tell my boss and co-workers. Your chances of a m/c have dropped drastically, spread the news and be excited!!!

I also want to tell everyone in the free world! I'm only 7 weeks along and have already had some complications (low progesterone level) but I started taking meds for them at 4 wks, 1 day so I'm hoping that they're still working! I m/c with my last pregnancy at 8 weeks, so I'm really paranoid to tell everyone. My mother has already told everyone in the family even though I told her not to, so that won't be any big surprise for any of them. But I have a lot of friends that I haven't told and I really want to...but I feel as though I should wait until I'm out of the woods. It's so frustrating when you want to shout it out b/c you're so excited but still at the same time so scared to tell everyone in case something happens!

Hi tina, I told my parents right when I found out But extended family and coworkers I told when I was 13 weeks. If your still a bit nervous then dont tell anyone until your comfortable. Wait until you are starting to show, I think thats what Im going to do the next time around.

Last week at 13weeks, the doctor could not find a heartbeat and then sent me to get sonogram and found out the baby had died-but my body/placenta still thought I was pregnant and continued to grow, I had to have a D & E. I had just told everyone because I was past 12 weeks and then while heart broken had to contact all the people I had told (sent a text which was much easier). I wish I had waited until after that appointment..I wish you all the best
