That's a good point. There may be good reason for the "12 week rule". Even though it doesn't prevent the pain of telling others for everyone, it could for some. That would add to the pain of it all. That's really tough. I'm sorry. I think maybe the same people that you'd feel comfortable telling about a miscarriage are the same people that you could tell you are expecting (pre 12 weeks). That still doesn't help with the miscarriages that happen after 12 weeks, but maybe something that could help some. I also think that a lot of these thoughts come from me trying to figure out how to tell my family about everything going on. I still have a lot I'm trying to figure out. Thanks for your input.
