Start telling??

Kjg1313

I am 7w pregnant with twins and dh and I are so excited we just want to tell the whole world but have only told our parents so far just wondering when everyone told and how it went??

Congrats! It IS exciting! I guess when and who you tell depends on your history. We told family right away. My belly told work before I was ready, but I didn't confirm until 2nd tri. We told friends as we saw them. I was NEVER 100% comfortable telling people, worried (irrationally) about jinxing myself or the pregnancy. Finally came out on FB at 27 weeks. But I have a loss/IF history coloring my feelings. I think whenever you and DH feel like telling people is the right time for you

We told family a week or two after finding out we were having twins. We wanted the shock of it all to settle before sharing. We told MIL and my parents first around 8-9w. Not exactly the reaction we were looking for from MIL. :-/ Anyways, a few weeks later we shared with the rest of family around 12-13w. We made it FB official around 14-16w when we knew that things were looking good after our NT scan. Its what worked for us. We wanted to clear the first trimester hurdle on all 3 of my pregnancies before really going public about it.

We told parents and one good friend immediately upon finding out at 5w2d (the same ppl who knew i had a positive hpt already), close family and friends after we heard the HBs at 7wk2d, and went public at 12w after the NT scan.

We told close family at 7 weeks 6 days because I had to be rushed in for emergency surgery on my appendix where they found baby #2s heart beat ( we had seen a smaller sac two days prior so had a general idea) but my husband told everyone when I was in surgery. The rest of the world.....we told slowly some we called, some we told in person but FB we announced that after 13 weeks because of our loss and IF issues. We just went with the flow and told as we felt comfortable.

We told our parents we were pregnant at 6 weeks before our first ultrasound.  Then we told them right after we found out we were having twins!  After our 10 week ultrasound looked good my OB said it was "safe" to tell so that's when we shared.  Congratulations!

We told family around 8w that we were pg and that it was twins all at the same time. I told everyone else, including work, around 14w after the NT scan.

I never told FB that I was pg, only when they were born.

We told close friends and family after we saw them again at 12 weeks.

We didn't come out on Facebook until closer to 14-16 weeks.

We told our families right away. We were going to wait but excited about it being twins and we couldn't keep it to ourselves. And with telling my inlaws, you pretty much tell everyone. But we didn't make it "Facebook official" until 13 weeks.

We told our family the day we found out. We told them it was twins after our ultrasound the next week. My belly told my work around 14 weeks (at least that's when someone actually had the guts to ask). We announced on Facebook after our anatomy scan at 20 weeks. We had a past of failed pregnancies so I was nervous to tell the world.

I told family right away when I found out because I was in shock. I wanted my family and some close friends to be there for me if something horrible happened. (I am a pesimest by nature, so it's hard to always think of puppies and rainbows)

I just announced it on FB at 12 weeks, after 3 ultrasounds confirming heartbeats and I feel semi-comfortable. The pregnancy road is going to be a rollercoaster, so I figured I'm never going to feel "safe" enough to tell the world, until they're out and safe. So I bit the bullet.

Congratulations and good luck!

I told family broadly after the NT scan, but our parents as soon as we found out! And anyone else after the NT scan announcement

It all depends on you. I told everyone at 7 weeks. Many people asked me why I would so early, or explain that its horrible to "untell" people, or even that I would jinx things... (and as for untelling. no... I didn't suddenly find out I was wrong so I'm telling completely different news, not untelling) 

To me, my life was already changed. I fell in love with those two flickering hearts I saw on the screen... So I knew one way or another, those were my babies. So to me, I didn't mind the thought of having to tell people if something negative happened... because I would have told anyways.

We told everyone the day we found out it was twins (12weeks6days) We had already told our immediate family we were pregnant when we got our BFP! I don't think there is a right or wrong time to tell...it is different for everyone!

How exciting indeed! We told family and close friends at 8 weeks and waited to tell everyone else until 14 weeks. Congrats on your babies!!

We told family and close friends we were pregnant before our first u/s. When we found out it was twins at 6w4d, we told our parents and a few friends that we were close with or that had twins themselves. Since I recently had a baby, I started showing pretty quickly and didn't get to hold the news very  long. By 10w4d, our second u/s, we felt comfortable enough to tell everyone. Now, I'm in my 13th week and on bed rest after a trip to the ER involving a ton of bleeding, I'm glad we told people...we live in a city without our family nearby and are receiving help that we couldn't do all of this without.

We told everyone immediately, at 6w. We knew that any loss would be devastating to us and that we wouldn't be able to "hide" that anyway, so we chose to just put it all out there. We were immediately told by our OB that we would lose the pregnancy because my progesterone was so low, and we were flooded with prayers, support and love. When everything worked out, we had so many reasons to celebrate and so many people to celebrate with. I wouldn't have done it any other way, looking back.
