Facebook announcement 12w3d

in Pregnant after IF
Hi everyone! I am 12w3d pregnant after 2 and 1/2 years of TTC and my first IVF.

We have told our families and close friends and would like to share the news on social media. My husband is very excited about this and wants to post an announcement right away. I definitely want to post an announcement but am nervous about the risk/timing. I know it's never 100% until you actually give birth, but I guess I am just looking for reassurance that the risk at this point really won't change, so now is as "safe" as it will get.... Or not?

FYI- we heard a heartbeat last week.

    I'd say you're fairly safe. After 9-10 weeks, the risk of miscarriage (especially after you've heard a heartbeat) is less than 2%. But it'll never be 0%. We personally announced publicly just around 10 weeks, because we felt safe enough then.

    I posted my whole journey with my my first IVF round, so everyone knew when I knew. This time around I didn't really post my entire journey and I was hesitant about letting people know but, I got so excited that when I tested before my BETA I posted it. LOL I was so nervous after that.

    My doc also said that the % of a m/c is about 2% after you hear the heartbeat. I say you're good and share the wonderful news!  <3

    This is definitely a very personal decision. Whatever makes you feel best is the right call.

    I'm 21 weeks and for me the fear is always there. I made the decision that I didn't want to take away from my, my DH, or our loved ones' experience of this miracle LO. After much debate, we posted the announcement after our chromosomal test results came back at wk 12. The risks had gotten low, but the real deciding factor was that I just wanted to enjoy my son starting now and continue for as long as I could even if that meant pain later. So, the fear is there, but the happy is taking over more and more every day. GL!
