I had a 12 wk appt on Wed 12/26, and we heard the heartbeat again, but for some reason I'm still not ready to tell the world. I kind of want to, but still have this horrible paranoid feeling that something will go wrong. ugh. go away stupid negative thoughts! I'm glad to hear people are doing well. I'll go post a belly pic in a sec. Baby #4 is making me large & in charge already ;P -Amy ETA: I guess it's technically baby #5. I feel bad calling this one #4 but IRL it will hopefully be our 4th living child.

I felt the exact same way about announcing. After 3 losses this year, 2 of which happened right after we announced, I was super paranoid to tell. But I never heard a heartbeat with my losses so hearing that this time helped, but I still waited a few more weeks. Technically this is #7 for me, but I say #3.

Thank you for the hugs & reassurance
I don't have another appt until 16 weeks, but I almost want to wait to announce until I hear baby again. ha. My midwife only caught the heartbeat for a quick second & then couldn't find it. I said I'd announce after the 12 week appt & now I'm wavering, even after she said we're "out of the woods". The Untelling part sucks as you know; I really don't want to do that again.
