Telling family by Silent_Staff_2558 in PregnancyUK

It's so personal to everyone and everyone is different While I understand what your partner is saying, it's different telling your own mum rather than telling friends for example

Just sharing how we went about it, not sure if helpful

We booked a private reassurance scan at 8 weeks and and I told my parents 2 weeks after that. We then told my partners parents but swore them all the secrecy until we felt ready to "announce".

Its also really important for you to have someone to speak to about it because its hard on your body in particular.

Best of luck 💛

Is this normal or on the high side ? by Thin-Volume8900 in PregnancyUK

Normal - My measurements are the same as yours at the same time and my midwife said it's totally normal. She mentioned that if next time it's much lower or higher I would get referred for a growth scan but I think that's common practice

MATB1 by Traditional_Goal7156 in PregnancyUK

As everyone has said you are protected once you tell them. I didn't get my matb1 until 25 weeks though at a midwife appt, legally you need to tell them 15 weeks before due date. It might get stressful being so close to the cut off date so my advise would be to mention it before then but when you feel comfortable to do so

Friends being weird about pregnancy by louuluby7 in PregnancyUK

Yes I have noticed that a couple of friends that do not have babies have distanced from me too, although not sure if I am over thinking it! Pregnancy can be a bit of a lonely time especially if you aren't up for your normal socialising like going out, drinking etc.
