Expecting? Congratulations! Not sure when, or how to tell people, or who to tell first? We review the ups and downs of our own experiences of ''navigating the tell" with two pregnancies that ended in miscarriage, and a current third pregnancy. We also run through the pros and cons of telling early, factors that can accelerate the timing of when you tell (!), and the importance of going with your gut and telling in your own way.
If you're comfortable sharing your own experiences with us and with our listeners, leave a message on Anchor or find us on social media through the links on our blog below. Thanks for listening!
