Telling your family
When you get pregnant, it’s natural to be bursting to tell your loved ones that a baby is on the way. In your mind you see smiling faces, excitement and heartfelt congratulations... It’s a truly joyous moment but many women choose to hold onto their precious secret a bit longer to make sure everything is fine with the baby. It’s not a cheery thought, but it’s wise for you and your partner to wait to share the good news after the first three months, when the risk of miscarriage lowers.
Of course if you are not the cautious type, you will be grabbing your mobile as soon as you know! Some women feel that in the event of a pregnancy loss, they can cope better if family and close relations are there to support them from the start.
Whenever you decide to spread the happy news, you can send cards, ring around or even organise a surprise party to make the big announcement surrounded by your family and friends.
