Did you wait to announce?

[LoveChild]

I am sure that are tons of threads, but couldn't find right now.

I am barely 4weeks and was wondering how long did you all wait to
announce the pregnancy or if you haven't yet?

We are announcing to family right away because all my family is in a different country, far away, so in case something 'happens'
(of course it won't ) I will want the support of my
husband's family and close friends considering I have no one close....and if all goes well, which will , then we all get to enjoy from the beginning

Well I told my parents last time when i was 4 +3 and im so glad i did i had bleeding at 6+5 and my mum came with me an OH to the early scan it was nice to have her reassurance xx

Well my family knew when i was 6-8 weeks because my mum asked if i was pregnant because i had morning sickness.

As for other people i waited until my dating scan.

I dont regret waiting but it was soooo good when everyone knew

We were trying really hard to wait until mid-October to make the big announcement, but I cracked and spilled the beans just four days after I found out!

We have lost 2 pregnancies early and with this one we are going to try and wait until 8 weeks at least - maybe easier said than done because my parents and my brother are flying here for a 2 week visit arriving tomorrow!! I am barely 4 weeks, getting blood work Mon and Wednesday so I will need a good excuse to slip out of the house twice while they are here!!

Hoping all goes well with the blood tests this week because I know that that would make me a little less anxious about spilling the beans.

We felt the same way! We wanted the support of our family from day one so they knew within 2 days of us knowing! Im not good at keeping secrets like that...lol!
Congrats on your little bean!!!

We told everyone the day after we got our cause we were just too excited!

With Button, we told people right away, but with my recent ectopic, and now being pregnant again .. we are waiting to tell people this time, it was just too hard to tell everyone about the loss last time and having to comfort them because they felt awkward.
I'll be 12 weeks on 24th October .. so we'll do it then.

We told family and close friends the day we found out, bc we were so excited. We asked them to keep it quiet til after we saw a heartbeat though.

We're waiting until nearer 2nd trimester, for the most part. We've told my mum but not my dad or my husband's parents. A few friends know, mostly just because I had to explain why I wasn't making it to events or because they are pregnant too and I wanted to be able to talk to someone who was going through the same thing!

I have a scan at 12+5 and we'll tell our families after that if all is well. I'm not particularly superstitious or scared, but it just seemed too good to be true that we got lucky so quickly and I didn't want to go through having to tell everyone if something had gone wrong. Can't wait till we do tell more people though

 

[Sevenladybugs]

I have told a few close friends, but I am waiting to tell our families until I hear the heartbeat or have an u/s that looks good. My pregnancy this time is high risk and I'm older so I don't want to have to tell anyone bad news if this little one doesn't stick.

 

[longestwait]

We told our families right away within the first week we found out, but are not telling friends or co-workers yet. I'm going to try to wait until second tri for that.

 

[ttcmikeandme]

We told family around 6 weeks, and told everyone else around 7 weeks.......we couldn't keep it a secret Plus the way I think is that if something bad were to happen I would need the support of my family and friends to keep me from going insane....

 

[ettegirb21]

I've had 2 m/c's, so we are waiting until I am out of the first trimester. It was very hard telling everyone we lost the previous pregnancies. I pray this is our sticky bean, and I want to shout with excitement as each day goes back, but....I will wait, just to be safe.

 

[rainbow_11]

We found at 8 weeks,and told our family and friends the same day.We were too excited!xx

 

[thepurlqueen]

I have only told a couple very close friends. There are times when I want to tell everyone, but I manage to hold it in. We've always told people right away, but telling everyone about the mc last time was too hard.

I'm not sure when I will tell people. I had to start wearing maternity pants at 8 weeks last time so I may tell people before I want to lol

 

[libbymarks198]

we told OH's family but not mine and i have told 2 close freinds

 

[BabySeal]

I had a scan at 9+1 and saw the HB for the second time and everything looked good so I couldn't hold it in for three more weeks til 12 weeks lol

 

[moomoo]

We lost a baby when I was 11 weeks so will be waiting until after a scan to tell everyone. I quite like having a secret that no one else know about lol!!

 

[bluecathy1978]

I have only told my mum and a few friends because I lost a baby 11 weeks ago today when I was 7 weeks pregnant. My husband literally announced that pregnancy to the whole world but for some reason I didn't tell anyone apart from my mum.

Anyway I have an appointment to see my midwife next week when I will be just over 12 weeks so hoping my 1st scan won't be too long after that.

I decided not to have an early scan as if something was going to go wrong then that was just nature.

When I have had my scan and seen that everything is ok then I will tell everyone I know. I am bricking it telling my boss though because I am on maternity leave already and I don't think he will be very happy! I will only be back at work a few months and then back off on mat leave! Ooooppppss!
