Spreading the News

With the expanding waist line  comes the spreading of the news and the expanded number of people aware of your pregnancy.  While I had wanted to shout this pregnancy from the roof tops when we found out, I decided that a more cautious approach might be best with my history of perinatal loss.  I know of cases where people did share early and then suffered a miscarriage which can be hard when everyone asks how things are going. I am glad that  I had shared with a few close friends before we had our miscarriage, they became my support group afterwards.
Now that we are in a safer time, I have decided on a more subtle method and that is telling my friends and family as I see them.  All I can say is the reactions of some when they see me is priceless. I was at a family event recently and one or two people were ready to burst trying not to ask and then asking anyways. More to write later, time to get ready for work.

    Trying again can be a scary and exciting time.  I am glad I focused on the exciting part after my miscarraige and had my son as a result.
