Superstitions. Your view?

Sooo everyone keeps telling me I've jinxed myself by telling people before my first scan. I'm 8 weeks and I was so excited I couldn't contain myself. And I thought everyone I had told were "friends" now I'm so paranoid I can't sleep at night but this is the most amazing thing that's ever happened to me, I can't let anything happen to my baby :'(

Both pregnancies we told all my family the day after I missed my period! We figured we'd tell them anway and want their support if something did happen. I don't believe it jinxed anything.

They're just being idiots. You can't "jinx" yourself by announcing your pregnancy and being excited about it. Just because you told people BEFORE the second trimester does NOT mean anything will happen to your baby.
