I chose to not wait until the end of the first trimester to announce my pregnancy.
There were a lot of reasons. The primary one being that I have been very open about our journey through IVF. Why not let everyone know that it was successful?
I think the main reason why women wait is because of the fear of miscarriage. I approached that issue as: I am trying to be more open about infertility. I want women to know that I am with them in their struggles. If I did end up miscarrying my baby, I would be open about that too. It is so hard to grieve alone! I did not want that.
So we waited until we got our first little ultrasound pictures.
Made with a whole lot of love... and a little bit of science!!
