10 weeks today and itching to announce

Momona1

I am trying to stick to my plan of waiting until the 13 week u/s scan, so I can announce using that picture. However, today is my wedding anniversary and I so want to add that ''baby will make 3'' on Facebook. So hard to hold out, especially since I've told a few more relatives and close friends recently. ok, just needed to vent

I know how you feel! I'm 9 w 4 and just want to tell everyone! We're 12 weeks on our 1st wedding anniversary and I know I'll want to put something but at the same time I want to wait until the U/S. Lol I'm tied!! Xx

Same here! I'm 10 weeks, 1 day and we're planning to tell family and friends next weekend. I cannot control myself any longer!

I'm 10 weeks tomorrow.  I've had two ultrasounds showing a healthy baby and my first appointment with my OB is Wednesday.  If I still hear a healthy HB then, we will announce to some of our family this coming weekend.  I'll be 11 weeks then - close enough!  It's a long weekend full of 4th of July fun for our families, some of whom are from 15 hours away, and it's also my bday weekend.

I am 10w tomorrow.  We have told a good majority of our family and close friends already.  It's more secondary family and friends that we may not see or talk to that often that are still in the unknown.  We had photos taken for a pregnancy announcement and I am waiting for Fed Ex to arrive as we speak.  I know I am going to want to post the card as soon as it comes, but we are waiting for our second scan on the 10th of July.  I'll be 11w5d then.

12 weeks is a bogus ordeal I say go for it! We never hid it from the moment we found out mostly because I have such a high demanding job and I was so sick with ms. But honestly 10 weeks ur baby joined fetushood go for it!

I'm 13+4 right now. We were going to announce when we saw the family on father's day, but had a change of plans and we didn't end up telling. The next family get together is fourth of July so we will blow our secret then. I had a few of my mom's friends and family commenting their concerns over my migraine and headache statuses on FB and I had to message them the secret to keep them from telling me to go to the Dr over my constant head pains. Slowly but surely the world will know.. but for now I love having my own little secret.

I was in the exact same boat! My husband and I went to Niagara Falls for our first anniversary right on my 10 week mark and I was dying to add that we are so blessed to start a family already!

I think you should hold out. The announcement is going to be extremely exciting no matter what date it is!

When my mom was first pregnant, she told everyone at 10 weeks and then lost the fetus the next day. So when she was pregnant with her next (me!), she waited until after 12 weeks. 

So far, I've only told people that I would also be willing to confide that it went the wrong way (parents and besties). I know I'm being a total Debbie Downer right now, but I just think a loss would be hard enough without having everyone in your business... I'd wait the extra couple weeks and then make the announcement then--trust me, it will be just as exciting!

A lot of people wait until after the first tri to announce because your risk of a MC is significantly less. When you want to announce your pregnancy is a personal choice and you can announce whenever you want to. I had a friend who made a public announcement on FB right after she took a test and ended up with a MC

Although I've told close family and best friends, the thought of others finding out terrifies me. 3 miscarriages with one being at 14 weeks is enough to make you want to keep your secret sealed for as long as possible. One person asked me months later if I had delivered a boy or girl. I just can't bare the thought of reliving everyone's condolences and tons of insensitive comments ever again. Now on the other hand I'm finally pregnant again and hubby and I are so flipping excited we want to shout it out to the world!!

There is no right or wrong timeline for sharing your joy. Enjoy when ever you decide to share the beautiful news. Everyone will be so excited for you at 7 weeks or 20 weeks the same way.

Next weekend is when we plan to announce! Dying to tell everyone in sight. My belly is starting to show and I just want to hold it. Lol soooo not something u do with your gut unless there's a baby in there. Plus the morning sickness is getting hard to hide. Family suspects I'm sure so I just want the cat outta the bag

We wanted to wait to announce on Facebook, but my dh posted a group photo on Facebook yesterday and everyone started asking if I was pregnant (I'm naturally thin so I know it stands out some and as a stm it showed up earlier, but I was shocked how freely everyone asked!). And a (not close friend) asked me in a private message, I confirmed, and the, she announced it under the picture! We deleted it all, dh reposted a different way this morning and immediately someone else asked and my mil felt she could announce/confirm it for us....I was sooo annoyed.
So needless to say we announced it officially after that.....much earlier than I wanted to.

I'm 12 weeks tomorrow.  We've told close friends and family, and decided to tell everyone else at 13 weeks.  But my mom is dying to tell her friends, so we decided that she can do it Tuesday.  Our announcement will go out on FB sometime after that.

I would be LIVID!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sorry you had to announce earlier due to rude people.

@SullyN thanks....I was pretty mad lol....not as much now, not much I can do about it. But I was just so shocked at how many people just don't care! I would never ask that on Facebook, let alone announce someone else's news!

SullyN

@blessed2bemommy I can only imagine how mad you were! I was pissed when at like 8ish weeks (I think) when accused in front of DH's coworkers but never asked. On facebook where everyone could see I would've lost it!! I don't get why people have to share others news, they have their own life!!

We are 12w 2d today.. My DH has yet to tell his family but my family and close friends all know. He just wants to make everything is ok with the baby since we are considered "advance age" @34 soon to be 35yrs old. I am itching to announce it on FB but out of respect for him and his family I won't.. I really don't know what to do bc I don't want to keep nagging him about it. Any suggestions on how I can kind of announce it in a sly way??
