Nervous to Announce Pregnancy

Other than my significant other and my pregnant bestfriend no one knows about my pregnancy. I am 23 years old and just had a miscarriage in Dec the pregnancy only lasted 5 weeks two days but I didn’t naturally miscarry until 11 weeks one week after I found out the pregnancy wasn’t viable. I can’t imagine telling people I’m pregnant again just to have to break the news I’m not pregnant anymore. I am 12 weeks 3 days today I go in for my NT scan Friday and hopefully this ultrasound will give me the courage to finally tell my family.  The young mom thing is also a bit discouraging. Any kind words or similar stories would be helpful.

    If you aren’t comfortable telling people yet, you can absolutely wait. I didn’t tell anyone I was pregnant till until I was showing enough that i couldn’t hid it anymore. The first time that was around 14 weeks. 
    I hope your NT scan goes well

    I waited until I was almost 15 weeks along to announce. Nothing wrong with taking your time. Personally, I am not one that usually cares what people think. This is your life and having a baby at a young age is your choice and you will be the one dealing with it so try not to care too much about people's opinions about it.

    Hi there .I agree with the others as well .it's all up to you .I too started miscarrying in december at 7 weeks (didn't grow past 5 weeks) and It went on until week 11. I just started announcing this one now at 14 weeks .  I was fully prepared not to tell anyone for an even longer time but it just so happened that I finally felt comfortable and safe about it. So when you're ready to tell, you'll know.

    This is baby #5 for us. However we suffered a miscarriage in August of 2016. I'm currently 35 weeks and didnt tell anyone until I was 28 weeks pregnant. My SIL and sister guessed when I was 20ish weeks but didnt tell anyone.

    Same here. Had a missed miscarriage at 10 weeks, found out at 14 weeks. Now pregnant again, and scared to announce. We are 16 weeks tomorrow and are slowly letting the news out.
