I know that is/was the reason, yeah (though I didn't know about Lily Allen). Though to be honest I'm still not sure how it would make having a miscarriage better if I had to keep that a big shameful secret too because nobody had known I was pregnant in the first place. It does feel (perhaps irrationally) as though it's all actually more to do with not talking about distasteful stuff until you can't hide it under your jumper any more. :-/
But then I didn't want to announce it to work too early, & because I hadn't told work I couldn't really tell everybody (because work/friends overlaps in places), & it just made all the illness/misery worse not being able to tell anybody or have any sympathy from anybody. All my own fault really for not telling people I suppose.
I would say "if I ever get pregnant again I will just tell people as soon as I know", but I don't ever want to do this again, so.
