edited March 2011 in First Trimester
I just recently learned I'm pregnant, after ttc for months. Last period puts me at 5wks. My 1st appointment isn't for another 3 weeks. Being this is my first I'm a little anxious. I've got a few friends that ended up mc their first and I'm just afraid that's going to happen to me.

Plus it's just so hard to keep the news from my friends! I just want to share my excitement at getting pregnant, but the Hubby won't let me yet. :( I've heard it's sometimes best to wait until the 2nd trimester?

    I'm 8 weeks and have told my close family and a few close friends but I'm gonna wait until 12 weeks to let the world know. The biggest problem is every day is going so slow lol x

    The days definitely seemed to slow down at this point! Lol it used to be days going by really quick for me until I found out and now can't say anything. When do you get your 1st u/s? Is it the 1st appt usually?

    I know how anxious you are to share your wonderful news but keep it to your family and closest friends. It's so much easier to share the good news later than to explain bad news later to so many. Take it from someone who as experienced both.
    I'm so excited for you. Cherrish each day by writing all your feelings in a journal. Its so nice to have to help pass the weeks then to reflect on later.
    Just think what a wonderful gift it will be mamy years down the road when this baby is expecting one of their own.

    I had a MC at 7weeks and I'm so glad I waited to tell ppl. It was hard enough without EVERYONE asking how I'm doing.
    With this one we waited until the first apt when we heard the heart beat.

    My dr. Said once you see a healthy heartbeat the chance of mc is less then 2%.... on my first dr. Appointment they just did blood work and boring stuff.. then the next one the did an ultrasound... they did it in a week because I had been spotting, but spotting is pretty normal.
