how many of you tell before 3 months?

[ablaze]

i told my mum and dad straightaway then told my lil brothers and sisters at 12 weeks with the scan pic, my employer i told str8 away incase of any risks etc

We told the family at 7weeks and friends found out by family after that

I told my nearest and dearest pretty much straight away. Only recently told other family members and still have some to tell yet.

i miscarried once last year, and this time i told my close friend and everyone in my family when i was only 5 1/2 weeks pregnant ( when i just found out and met the doctor ). so happy and couldn't keep it you know, and i told my husband parents because they came here on x-mas and they wanted all of us to go to quart biking ( i think i spell it wrong )

Overall we waited until 3 months. There were some exceptions tho, close friends (mostly cuz i had no idea what I was doing and the morning sickness all day was giving me away

Luke and i told parents and best mates and my boss pretty much srtight away i have a job where i might have to do heavy lifting from time to time and i didnt want him to think i was being lazy(he would we get on really well). i think you should tell the people closest to you if something happens there going to be the best people to support you. as for everyone else weve decided they can wait till the 3 month mark.

My husband and I decided not to tell anybody until after 12 weeks ( I'm only 6 wks). Yet every week I keep telling a few more people!!!! Ooops!

With my first pregnancy we waited until we were 6 weeks because it was Christmas. The second pregnancy we waited until 8 weeks because we were getting married! If it weren't for the special occasions, we probably would've told right away.

i had an early scan at 7weeks so i knew everything was ok and told people then

I told my family and friends right after I found out in each pregnancy. If something happened to the baby, they were going to know anyhow.

I did miscarry very early in first pregnancy, and I was glad I had told people because my hubby didn't truly know how to react. God, I woke him up to tell him I had a miscarriage and his second comment was to ask if I wanted sex. Oh brother! His mother was a godsend that day and it made hubby realize what I was going through.

It's not bad luck to tell anyone before 3 months, but some people choose not to as the risk of miscarriage doesn't fall bellow 5% until after the 12 week mark. Some people choose not to tell anyone, in case they do miscarry... However others choose to tell people, on the principle that they don't want to think negatively about the chances of miscarriage happenening to them, and they reason that if they do miscarry then at least they will have the support of family and friends - rather than having to tell family that they were pregnant and miscarried, or keep it to themselves... (Others think it would be very private if they miscarried and wouldnt want anyone else to know, which is why they don't tell anyone until the risk drops).

This one is entirely a personal choice - so the only answer to your question, is if you want to tell people then tell the world, if not, don't.

I told everyone early on but thats because I knew if something went wrong I'd tell them anyway.

The only one I didn't want to know was my mum. I know that must sound strange to most people but we aren't that close and I knew she'd get over the top and emotional about it and then if something did go wrong she'd just make me feel worse. Unfortunatly though my nan told her. I told her not to but she said she guessed. I know that can't be true either because I hadn't seen or spoken to her for her to have guessed but never mind.

Oh and I didn't tell my dad for ages either just because it was difficult.

I told my family the next day. (I'm only 20 so it was a shock). I'm also 7wks and finding it so hard not to tell the world. Mind you, I have told a few friends and a couple of work collegues. I just hope I don't miscarry!

My mum bought the test for me, my boyfriend was at his home so I did it alone in the bathroom. I told him first, then my mum and brother a few minutes later.. boyfriend went to tell his mum and dad. We left other people until 3 months+, even though some found out (eg my brother's girlfriend etc). I don't think it's bad luck, plus with me it was a bit obvious as I was very slim and suddenly started filling out.
