We told the grandparents (we only have my husbands parents in our life)because we had 2 early miscarriages this year already- so we told them at 4 weeks (I was BFP at 3w+2d) and then I told my best friend day before thanksgiving at 5w4d. Other than that, we will probably tell our older kids on Christmas after we have an ultrasound in hand and it will be public knowledge after that. We will be 10 weeks Christmas day. Hope that helps! We are over the “don’t announce early because of miscarriage thing” because having two already, that’s a dangerously lonely place to put yourself in. You won’t jeopardize your pregnancy by telling anyone about it so when you are ready- shout it to the world and enjoy every moment!
@hybrisa We told my best friend the day after I tested positive and my mom 3 days later. I would burst into a million pieces if we didn’t. We are telling our other very close friends next weekend (7 weeks). And our families on Christmas (10 weeks). I have my first ultrasound and exam on December 23. I think it’s fine to tell people whenever you feel like. You’re excited; share the joy!
Our immediate family already know, but I'm thinking that I might wait until my birthday in February for a bigger announcement. That's a little later than I would normally wait, but I think it would be cute to announce it as a "birthday present."
We told our people in phases! After two losses this year, we waited a little longer and shared our news with the in-laws and siblings at 6 weeks, my family at about 8 weeks after the confirmation ultrasound at around 7 weeks and close friends at 8 weeks. We are telling more and more people now at 10 weeks. I’m still undecided on when to post to social though… might go for Christmas at 12 weeks or wait until 4 months or 16 weeks
I told my sister actually before I could tell my husband! But, we haven’t told anyone else. We are waiting until after the NIPT results because I am in my 40’s so we wanted to make sure everything was ok chromosomally just in case we had to make difficult decisions. I’ll probably wait to tell anyone at work until I can’t hide it anymore.
We have told close friends and some family. I’m 11 weeks currently. Considering a New Years social media post, but may wait until 14-16 weeks before publicly announcing.
Most friends and immediately family know. Friends figured it out pretty quickly. We told my parents after the first ultrasound and telling his mom on Christmas because we want to see her face. Waiting until after our next appointment to let everyone else know. Work already knows too but that’s cuz I love my work and got excited to tell them.
We told my mother right away & then my in-laws & our siblings once we had the first ultrasound and all looked good. Only my close gfs know. We’re not doing anything more than that. Definitely nothing on social media. We’re enjoying our miracle 🌈 baby as our little secret for as long as possible.
