Pregnancy

Lifestyle Relationships
1

My husband and I were having a discussion on when to tell everyone when we get the news that we are expecting a baby. He is VERY keen on waiting and sharing the news with his parents, sister, and other relatives and friends after the first trimester is over without any complications.
While I want to share the news with my family and friends rightaway.
Both my sisters shared the news rightaway in the first month while in his family they are used to not sharing big news rightaway…

I really wouldnt want to wait and dont know how to convince him.

Re: Pregnancy

Listen to him !! he is not asking you to hide it from your family only infact he is also hiding it from his family. Seems like he’s already in love with unborn child and he doesn’t want to take any risk. It’s a matter of 1st trimester only which will pass smoothly insha allah then you can break the good news :slight_smile: my best wishes 2 u ! hope you have a smooth pregnancy ameen :hugz:

I think its sort of odd to hide it from immediate family...I can understand being worried about complications, but when you hide it from your parents, you also lose out on your parents dua for a safe pregnancy at such a crucial time and thats worth it for me.

lol its definitely hard to hide it from loved ones....couldnt help telling my best friends.

Re: Pregnancy

i don't think it's a wrong decesion to do so.. Well I found out about when I was 6 weeks pregnant and was having really bad tibiat.. my mom and my hubby were the only ones that knew.. I think my mom told my MIL around 8 weeks since she didn't want to hide from her. The rest of the family found out when I was around 12 weeks pregnant (his and mine)..
May you have a healthy and smooth pregnancy Amen!

Re: Pregnancy

Some people hide it till the baby is born!

Some hide the sex of the child too. :)

No idea why? There is no compulsion to tell but there is no good reason to hide also. Depends how one feels about it.

What is this got to do with safety of the baby or 'not taking any risk'?

Re: Pregnancy

I think it's important to tell a close woman early -- someone like your mother or sis, who has been through it. You need the support and advice.

We told our immediate families immediately.

Congratulations and best wishes for a healthy, happy pregnancy!

its very difficult to hide it ..specially from your immediate family… u know u r so happy and excited.. when i was pregnant i wanted to tell everyone on the street ‘hey i m pregnant’ …u know its gives u that sense of proudness that u r going through this *creation *process … :blush:
but i know many women dont share the news … i dont know how they do it.

Re: Pregnancy

Aaaaaaaaaaaaah, how sweet! Hope you have a safe and healthy delivery, Inshallah.

I would tell my mom and sisters right away...but thats because I have a "halka pait"...cant keep anything inside me for too long!

Re: Pregnancy

You’re not pregnant yet and you and hubby are having discussions on sharing the news … I find that totally cute :cb:

I bet when the time comes, he will want to share the news immediately :smiley:

Re: Pregnancy

I would agree with your husband..only bcs I know of someone who disclosed her pregnancy the day she found out- then 2 months later she had a miscarriage :S and People were still congratulating her in her 3 rd and 4 th month....Inshallah you'll have a healthy preganancy but just wait until its pakka- atleast after your first doctors visit :)
