is it bad luck?

edited May 2011 in Trying to conceive
Do u guys wait until the first trimester is over before telling people your pregnant? I have been told if u tell people your ttc it will jinks your chances of becoming. And if u tell people your pregnant that your putting the pregnancy at risk for MC.

I mean, come on... Really?? That's just stupid. I don't believe it.

  • I told few w/ my son and it was a great pregnancy ..but last summer i told like 5 people and I had a mc..so this time I waited only cus i wasnt ready tell everyone "hey im pregnant! !" Then mc...
  • I told people at 5weeks, and even brought stuff for him at 6weeks :)
  • I told ppl wen I tested positive at 5 weeks lol n I wasnt sure if I really was. im 22weeks today :)
  • i told people from the day i found out i was pregnant both times and i have a healthy son and am now 19weeks with a healthy girl... i had a mc in between but wasnt aware i was pregnant till i lost the baby
  • I told people that are always around me right away. I figured if I did mc they would wonder why I was so upset.
  • I told people the first time and had a mc so I waited this time till the 1st trimester was over
  • I told the obvious small group of people. Then a couple weeks later told everyone. This is my first and it was hard to hide the excitement. I am now 24 weeks.
  • Thank u so much mamas for the info. You all are great!!!
  • This is my fourth and I have told my family within a week of finding out with all
  • Or maybe you shouldn't tell until after the baby is born. I told people around 20 weeks and my baby ended up dying during labor. That's MY reality; once you get past the risk of MC, then you're at risk of stillbirth.
  • I'm not superstitious (sp?)... I don't think its bad luck I waited bcuz I wanted to see if I can hold the baby so I told associates around 4m or 5m but my immediate fam when I found out... I rather have a couple of people know if I have a mc rather than the whole world
  • I told our close family and my best friend at 5 weeks then everyone else after we had our 12 week scan but we bought stuff at like 8 weeks lol its hard to hide excitement!
  • The first time i told everyone and i had a mc and then this time i told everyone again and im now 17 weeks :)
  • I told people as soon as I knew also! I have one healthy boy and babygirl is due July 7th(:
  • I told a few people when we found out but waited til about 10wks before we announced it to everyone else.
  • I would wait just to make sure I dont have a miscarriage because I wouldnt want all that attention on me while Im trying t heal mentally and physically. But I wouldnt knock anyone for doing so because thats their preference to do so.
  • I never tell people when I'm TTC, because I think it just adds extra stress...not to mention all those extra times you get to be disappointed when each person asks if you are yet and you have to say no.

    I usually tell "need to know" people like my mom and sister and his parents right away and then wait to tell everyone else until after the first 10 weeks or so.
  • This is my third child and it's the only time I waited until after my First Trimester to announce it. Before, it was immediately after my BFP.

  • Oh my gosh, we didn't tell anyone we were trying, but once we took that test and got a "pregnant" we told everyone!! We were just so excited. Looking back that was risky cause I was only 3 weeks along, but luckily everything was okay.
