Pregnancy Day by Day: Day 76
By the time you are 76 days pregnant you may be thinking about spreading the news beyond those you have told already. Since the risk of miscarriage is greatly lessened by this point, many mothers-to-be feel it is a good time to share their news. It also means people will be aware of why your moods may be swinging all over the place and why you appear to be a little more rounded than usual!
For a lot of women, it can be a surpise to tell a friend or neighbour only to be told they suspected you were! Whilst you may feel a little put out by this reaction, try to bear in mind that every woman experiences pregnancy differently. Some mums to be gain a lot of weight early on, particularly in their upper body - which can be a novelty if you are normally less well endowed in the bosom department! This can be a huge give-away...
Other women lose weight initially due to a combination of metabolism, morning sickness or other factors only to gain it later in their pregnancy.
Keep in mind that if this is your first pregnancy you may not show quite so early as you will in subsequent pregnancies. By the time you are on your third or even fourth it might be more difficult to keep it hidden until you are ready to tell everyone the good news!
