A lot of people don't like telling people about their pregnancies until they pass that 12 weeks because they feel like they're in the safe zone.
This is when they need a lot of extra help and support because they're tired and they're wiped out.
They're like, oh, how am I going to tell my employer that I'm pregnant and I might miscarry, I don't want to tell my family.
But I kind of want to break that cycle.
As females, when we see that positive pregnancy stick...
there shouldn't be that stigma where we shouldn't be allowed to announce it.
Unfortunately, one in four pregnancies do end in miscarriage and that's when we need support.
And if we haven't spoken about it, then how do we get that support?
So I think, you know, acknowledging I'm pregnant and if a miscarriage does happen,
then acknowledging I need support and people knew about it.
