Normally I'm all for waiting until 12 - 14 weeks to tell anyone. We waited until 13 weeks with DD. I worry too much about something happening and then having to tell everyone the bad news (which obviously can happen even after first tri).
It's been a very rough couple of weeks because of brown spotting and clots with an inclusive scan. We got great news today, but I still worry about what can happen over the next several weeks.
On Feb 7th I'll be just over 9 weeks. We're going to visit my family for my brother's birthday (about an hour and a half away). We don't get to visit often (and vice versa) because of our schedules. Starting March, it'll be nearly impossible to visit them (the only chances are the week between the end of April and early May - and a few weeks before jelly bean is born).
We're considering telling our (immediate) families on/around the 7th. I really would like to tell my family in person which is why I'm considering the 7th as I don't know when I'll have a chance to see them again.
But I'm scared to tell them at only 9 weeks. DH said it's up to me if we tell them then or not. Part of me wants to for the reasons stated, but the other part of me is scared to death to. I told him that we're tentatively telling them on the 7th, but it's not set in stone. If we do, I want to put a copy of our scan in his birthday card (that's how we told the family with DD, so thought that would even be kind of fun).
Anyone tell early? Did you have anxiety about telling too early and something happening?
