Questions & Answers

with my first pregnancy, i was younger 18 going on 19 but my partner who is now my husband planned her and were ready for her.(already bought a house had good jobs and finished school). but that didnt help my fear of telling my dad(prob a diff situation then you). so we waited until my first OB appt at 12 weeks then told them. everyone was more upset that we waited so long. so as soon as we found out with this one (3 weeks 6 days) we told them the next day so they didnt think we were keeping it a secret. but again i felt like it was ok for me too tell, because im not high risk nor have i ever been, never had m/c and everything has went smooth. guess it just depends on circumstances and weigh them out in your head to see whats best.

with my first 4 I told everyone as soon as I got a positive, we lost are 4th sadly, I wasnt going to tell anyone until 12 weeks with this one, I had a early scan at 7 weeks and all was good , so we told my mum and his, my 2 friends, and my mum told my sister cos she cant keep a secret :/ he told his best friend who also happens to be his mums cousin, who told my partners nan :/ so god only knows who els knew by then lol, I told the rest of my family and friends who I don't get to see often at 10 weeks 2 days, as thats when I had my dating scan :)

I personally couldn't wait that long. I am 5 weeks today but we haven't told our families, thinking about doing it tomorrow after our first ob appt if everything is fine. Before I found out I wanted to wait until I saw a hb on the u/s, but such exciting news is really hard to keep to yourself! I want to share it! Just do whatever feels right for you. Happy and healthy 9 months to you!

I told my family at about 6-7 weeks of pregnancy. Then I started telling everyone slowly.

I told my family as soon as we found out! They all knew we were trying so it was a really exciting moment for all of us. I told the rest of my friends and family after my 12 week scan. I was about 13 weeks 1 day. I posted a picture of my 2 year old daughter wearing a best big sister shirt on facebook. That got everyone's attention! Then I posted an ultrasound picture too.

we told our parents after our six week ultrasound and they had seen the heartbeat and everything looked fine. We also told my sister-in-laws. i am currently 8 and half weeks and we are waiting till I am 12 weeks before we tell extended family and friends. We lost a little one at 7 weeks 3 days in the past and found that it was just easier to explain no baby to our parents and immediate family than the whole world. We did this with my daughter also.

I told my fiancé immediately of course. And my oldest bother,my mom & dearest friend within a few days. I wanted to tell the people I felt would be there for me if anything were to end badly. I would have waited longer to tell my other two brothers, but one of them was in a car accident, so told them sooner than planned. I told my Dad at about 8-9 weeks,I was scared, &didnt want to tell him. From there I told people whenever I happened to see them. I waited until I had told the people who mean the most to me face to face before I put it on Facebook. Sadly I had to wait longer than expected for that to happen, 16 weeks. Ideally I would have put it on there sooner, but Facebook is not the way for people who mean something to you to find out you are expecting. I was really unset for a while though because my sister in law (whom I despise) thought it was her business to tell literally everyone she had in her phone, including people I've never met (complete inva

I couldn't wait I told everyone right away. :) More support if something happened

With our first we told everyone after our 6 week ultrasound. We lost our baby at 13 weeks. This time we waited until we passed the 16 week mark. I am now 16 weeks 6 days.

My boyfriend and I told our families around 7 weeks and also a few close friends. I'm 12.5 weeks now and still haven't made any big Facebook post or anything. I kinda wanna keep this to ourselves for awhile to enjoy it without having people giving me their 2 cents on the matter. I have a friend that wait until she was about 4.5-5 months before she told her friends.
