[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here and I missed that you announced at five weeks.  Tsk, tsk.  You are in the wrong here for announcing to anyone this early.  Ridiculous.

I had a miscarriage at 12 weeks.  I had not told anyone, as we were waiting a full trimester before announcing my pregnancy.

My MIL was beyond angry that she wasn't told of my pregnancy and angrier still to find out that I'd had a miscarriage after the fact.  I had to have surgery.  So what.  It was still easier to deal with associated grief and physical recovery without worrying that my MIL would have told everyone she knew that I was pregnant and then any other personal information regarding the pregnancy.[/quote]

Why did you tell tem after the fact? That pretty much defeats the purpose of not telling early.[/quote]

PP  and to answer your question, I, or rather my DH, had to tell his parents that I had been pregnant because I had to have emergency surgery (d and c).  [/quote].[b] I still don't understand. Why did they need to know? [/b] It was a d&c--quit common after miscarriage.  Btdt[/quote]

Not the PP - can you seriously not imagine why the ILs were told when she was having an emergency D&C?  Hell, mine wasn't an emergency but any time you're being put to sleep for a procedure it's significant.  It may be low risk but it's still a significant procedure.  You may have chosen differently but most people share that information with their immediate family.[/quote] [b] That kind of defeats the whole "not telling anyone until were safe" tactic and most people? [/b] Really, none of my friends told their families about their d&c's precisely because we all knew that families would be hurt by not being told of the pregnancy and they weren't told about the pregnancy because they didn't want to deal with the aftermath of telling about a miscarriage.  Kind of circular thought process.[/quote]
No, it does not. [/quote]
