[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s like everyone forgot the saying, don’t count your chickens before they hatch. [/quote]

Or they realize that lots and lots of eggs don’t hatch and keeping it a secret isn’t a requirement anymore.

I will say as well even someone who “follows the rules” and waits to 12 weeks, 16 weeks, 40 weeks could still have something tragic to announce at 13, 17, or 41 weeks. [/quote]

Exactly. My friend lost her healthy baby during active labor at 41 weeks in the hospital. Nothing is guaranteed. [/quote]

This is my take as well. I refuse to follow arbitrary rules about when to announce. I havent told my job yet but my friends and family know. Family and close friends knew by 7 weeks. Pretty much everyone in our orbit knew by 12. My husband worried about telling our son in case we lost the baby or had to terminate due to genetic results but my son knew something was wrong with me starting at 5/6 weeks because of daily vomiting and my energy levels. So we told him. I would rather him know I was pregnant than have him think I am sick/something is wrong with me. [/quote]
