Should I tell?

I have my first appointment this afternoon and I'm debating on telling family if the appt goes well. My parents and one of my brothers already know, but I'm thinking about telling other brother and grandparents. I won't go completely public til after 12 weeks but does anyone have any thoughts?

Re: Should I tell?

  • It's up to you with how comfortable you are telling people.  I plan on telling my entire family around 9 weeks (nobody knows yet) but I probably won't tell friends/Facebook until after 12 weeks.

  • Facebook won't be until much later for us, parents will be closer to 12 weeks, except for my mom--I'm telling her on Sunday. Basically, tell whomever you feel comfortable un-telling, if the worst happens.

  • My immediate family knows (parents/siblings), my 3 best friends know... and thats about it. Everyone else can wait until closer to anatomy scan. But who to tell and when, is completely up to you. Do what feels right.

  • The only people who know now are my BFF and DH boss since I was in the ER Monday morning and he had to call in to work. We are telling my mom 4th of July when I'll be 7 weeks because I need to know her medical history for first Drs appt July 22. Then after we have 1st Drs. appt we will tell rest of family. Then the world after 12 weeks. Being our 1st we wanted to have confirmation of good news before we told our family. To each his own.

  • Family, boss and some friends know. Since they knew when my transfer was of course they wanted to know if it worked or not. I wish I didn't tell them about this transfer!! Oh well.

    Too many cute ideas I could of used to tell them :(

  • I personally would never tell anyone until we hear the heartbeat and verify a viable pregnancy.  That's just me though.  We've always waited until after 1st trimester to tell parents and siblings.  I have my second appt next week for a dating ultrasound but still going to wait probably another 4 weeks to share our good news.

  • I told a few family members right away, i plan on telling my dad and the rest of my siblings after i see heartbeat in the u/s.

    The main reason people wait is so they dont have to explain if something goes wrong. The people i tell early need to know if something goes wrong because ill need them for support.

  • We told our parents and our siblings pretty much right away.  We are comfortable being able to share a loss with them.

    The rest of the world won't know until much later..... even though I'm DYING to shout it out.  :)
