I'm Currently Feeling: | Well I told everyone last time I was pg at 6 weeks and 2 days later I had a miscarrage. So I won't be telling anyone if I get pg again.

I'm Currently Feeling: | We would tell our immediate family (Both our Mums and our siblings) I would have to tell work because I would no longer be able to participate in x-rays and would have to stay away from hormone drugs and lots of the drugs in general (vet nurse) and apart from all of my friends here, I would tell only 2 other friends.
Once we hit 12-14 weeks and all is well I will be shouting it from the rooftops! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I told my boss the same day I'd had an internal interview the previous day and they offered me the job on the morning I found out! I wanted to be honest with them. Most people at work know now as I work in a busy high school and there are some health and safety issues on corridors, dealing with aggressive kids, lifting etc. I havent announced it - just told people who need to know.
I also figured that if the worst happened (please God it wont) then people will know anyway so I may as well have their support from the get go. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I would probably wait a little to tell people, just in case. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I told my immediate family and my best friend. They ended up telling everyone else although I wasn't going to say anything until 14 weeks.  Oh well.
It really depends on what you are most comfortable with. If something were (God forbid) to happen would you want to have to inform everyone (which might not be bad because you'd have extra support) or would you rather deal with it on your own? |

I'm Currently Feeling: | im in two minds.... i dont think i want to put everyone through the pain of knowing if i lost another but at the same time that would make me go through it alone.... its a tricky one |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I think having already had a m/c makes it more difficult to knwo what to do for the best. I'm sure you'll know what to do when your time comes. xxx |

I'm Currently Feeling: | We have only told close family and a couple friends. I told my work this week because they were starting to notice me changing. Other then that we'll tell everyone else when we reach 12 weeks. I had a m/c in October, so we thought it best to wait. |
