Expecting? Congratulations! Not sure when, or how to tell people, or who to tell first? In this second episode of our podcast, 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.
We invite you to listen to the podcast via Anchor, through your favourite podcast app, or through the embedded podcast player below.
