I know there have been a few threads recently about who to tell before 12 weeks and how, but wanted to add my two pennorth ...
we've known since 4 weeks (of course!) but after a previous loss been very anxious about telling anyone too soon ... we decided we'd wait to tell family until after early scan (last week), then the 'rest of the world' after 12 weeks ... however, after seeing the little wiggler and heartbeat last week, I think OH got excited, and has been telling practically everyone! I've only told my parents and brother and 2 or 3 close friends, I was trying to work it out (sad huh) but I reckon he's now told about 25 or so people, planning to tell several more over the next week includign people he works with, and I am really not sure I feel comfortable with so many people knowing at this stage. I guess I'm still paranoid that something will go wrong between now and 2nd tri and then all those people will know and we'll have to 'un-tell' them all. I can't stop him from telling people and I don't want to seem paranoid, but (following my last thread) I'm still not really sure I believe that we will have a baby!
Who's felt happy to tell people at this stage, and who's felt like they want to keep it to themselves or to a very small circle? And am I over-analysing the whole thing
