Spilling the Beans

It's funny, I was so desperate to just tell everyone that I was pregnant before the 12 week mark, but when it came around I was too nervous. For some reason, I was scared to tell our friends.

Our family were the first that we told, and of course, there was a lot of excitement. To tell our friends, we decided to have them all over for a BBQ and tell them then. My parter got up to thank everyone for coming and at the end of the speech told them all that we were expecting. The reactions were a mix of shock and excitement. And of course, following the announcement came a million questions. It felt great talking about it finally though.

The 3 Month Rule

Do you or don't you wait until the 12 week mark to let the world know that you are expecting? We decided to wait. Being my first pregnancy we did not want to take any risks. It wasn't easy though! When I denied alcohol at a couple of events it seemed the perfect time to just let people know the reason. However, the possibility of telling people our exciting news and then losing the baby is something that I don't think either me or partner could have dealt with. So, we waited...and it went forever!
