Announcing your pregnant to family

[Deleted User]

Hi, Everyone!

Initially, I was planning on announcing on Christmas (my side and my hubby's side). I'll be 14 weeks then -  Is that too late? 

I've been thinking of announcing on Thanksgiving instead, but I'll only be 9 weeks. Is that too soon?   

My next appointment is the week after Thanksgiving, i'll be 10 weeks then. 

The only reason I want to announce early is because I've been very sick (yay nausea) and I know they will start worrying about me, so maybe it's easier if I just tell them.

Any advice would be helpful!

Thanks!

Welcome and congrats on your pregnancy. 

This is a great post for the Announcement thread that has already been created. We like to keep our board organized and 1 off posts like this are discouraged. It clutters our board and doesn't foster meaningful conversation.

@ShadeofGreen816 😂 thank you. I usually try to read through things before I hit post but I have an extra kid here today and I hit post and ran. 

ETA: lol, I just reread my post and I didn't write your in place of you're. Man, I may need a break from adulting today.

Oh lord. Sorry you thought that!! I only obnoxiously correct grammar of drive bys! Especially when it’s in the title and I can’t NOT look at it!

I'm very excited this is my first baby, and since this is my first time on this website I wasn't aware I couldn't create a new page. I hope you know how rude your comments to me. @emeraldcity603 @ShadeofGreen816

How was I rude? I welcomed you to the community and congratulated you on your pregnancy. 

I directed you to a post that is already very active and the entire board is discussing the very question you asked. 

If you think that was rude you need to think twice about TB. This board is very tame and I have yet seen anyone flamed.

Well, we scared her completely off TB. She deleted her profile.

You know what’s rude? Walking into a well organized community, committing a faux paus and then getting all affronted when someone kindly points you in the right direction. There is essentially a bulletin board on the top of this place that tells you how the rest of us have been behaving for well over a month. Would you do that in real life? Walk into a room of hundreds of pregnant women and start shouting about your pregnancy? Well maybe you would but normal people wouldn’t. 

It’s not that hard.
