Should I tell everyone we are expecting

My fiancee and I are almost 7 weeks pregnant with our second child. Two months ago we found out we were expecting and later had a chemical pregnancy. We had already told everyone we were pregnant, and having to tell everyone we misscarried was aweful.

I'm not one for keeping secrets (especially not happy ones). When we were pregnant with our daughter everyone knew by five weeks. Same with the miscarriage in September. My fiancee thought we should wait this time, but says he will stand by any choice I make.

Like I said I'm almost 7 weeks now. Have had no cramping pains or bleeding. Feel great besides the occasional nausea and my tender already a full cup size bigger breasts. I don't think I will have a miscarriage and I'm too far along for this to be another chemical pregnancy.

What do you think?

That is CRAZY because 2 months ago I had a chemical pregnancy and we told everyone about it and then had to go back and tell them the news and now I am 7 weeks along this time and we are going to tell family at Thanksgiving because like you said we have made it further than before. I just found it funny reading your post that we are like the exact same lol
Good luck to you :)

I waited to tell everyone. God forbid you have a miscarriage and have to tell every one again.

I told everyone as soon as I found out at like 4 weeks. I say the choice is really up to you . Some people wait until the second trimester.
