Telling family and friends??


Hey,

When have you/ will you tell family and friends.
I am only 5 weeks and my OH thinks I should tell my close family as its normal in his country to do this. However I want to wait a few more weeks- atleast until I have seen the midwife?

What are you opinions on this?

I think there are advantages and disadvantages to both telling and waiting.
We told ..... sadly at 9 weeks I lost the baby it has been amazing to have everyones support and understanding.

theres only one person who knows when its right for you to tell people, and thats you, this is your little bubba and when you feel you want to share the news, then go for it!

I told my family when the stick turned pink, good or bad they want to know, good or bad i want there support!

we had decided to wait to tell our parents and everyone.....but as the days go on we are starting to change our minds! i am starting to feel like I want everyone to share this exciting news with us, and heaven forbid if something were to happen, i am starting to think it wouldnt be so bad that everyone knew! at the end of the day, it's up to you 2 and to tell or not to tell there is no right or wrong answer, but what feels good to you...and hey, as in my case, it can change over time!

i think we will blad to all after our dating scan....i will be shy of 9 weeks...i think....but if i am put back, then we might wait... were taking it day my day and my hubby is so supporitive of my ever chancing mind!

You girls are lucky where I live usually your first ultrasound is only I think 5 months? and you find out if its a boy or girl.. That's IF things are going like they should.. I'm getting mine in 2 weeks I think 10 weeks? .. My dr is giving me one early to find out my due date and how far along I am.. I heard the heart beat friday for a minute then it must of traveled away! : ) .... Anyhow to the question of this thread I have no idea when I'm telling anyone my boyfriend no's and my bestfriend and one of his bestfriend and the 2 guys he works with..
