Re: ***POLL: How long did you wait to announce your pregnancy?***
parents- after first apt at 7 weeks.
Close friends who are due before us- 7 weeks
My team at school- 11 weeks
Extended family- telling Sunday
Facebook friends- after 13 week mark...
Last time - we told my sister and our BFF's at 8 weeks. We told everyone else around 10 weeks.
This time - we're at least waiting until after my U/S next Wed. to make sure we see the heartbeat and that all is well. After that....who knows how long we'll be able to keep it a secret. We're so excited!
My blog: Midwest Chaos
I told my mom, dad and brother the day we found out which was Monday, I told my principal at school since I will have to miss some time for apts (she is super excited and supportive) and that is it.
I need to tell BF soon becasue she will want to go have cocktails soon.
I am not telling anyone else until closer to 8-10 weeks.
A kiss he will never forget- Disney World 2014
Immediate Family - The day of BFP
Pregnant Friends - Day after BFP
Rest of Family - 6 weeks
Everyone Else - Soon... After my first u/s
We just can't keep it a secret much longer! We are so thrilled!We are waiting to tell our parents and friends until after our first appointment, which is at the end of October. The only person that knows is my little sis.
You guys: After my BFP
Our families: We haven't told them yet, but we are ready to after seeing the baby on the ultrasound today... but I would rather not do it over the fun, so probably won;t tell my parents until next week.
Friends: After my 12-13 week appt.
well, our plan was to wait until the end of 1st trimester, but my mother decided to blab our news after ebing asked not to- so I have no clue who knows - family, family friends, a couple of my friends I haven't seen in years that she ran into and I received text messages from. I haven't even told my best friends yet SOOOO UNBELIEVABLY MAD!!!
The answer should be end of 1st tri...with DD we told around 8-9 weeks after we saw a heartbeat. with this baby waiting longer because I have had a lot of bleeding issues so not feeling super confident yet.
Told work the day I found out at 4ish weeks (I'm a nurse on a peds unit at a hosp.) because there are certain illnesses that should be avoided while pregnant.
Told all our immidiate family at 6 weeks, and then close friends shortly after.
BF (who lives in Germany) = As soon as I got my BFP
Family = after my first appointment, which is Oct 15th. I'll be 9 weeks by then.
Friends = Halloween
Facebook = the 13 week mark.
Eleanor Noelle - 18/05/12 Claire Elisabeth - 16/-5/10
BFF: within days of taking the test. Needed someone to talk to
Everybody else 10-14 wks is what we are planning
BFF - Day of BFP (she didn't believe and made me get digitals b/c too faint of a line for her taste)
DH - 2 days later because he was on business
Work - same day as DH.....they all knew we were trying and kept asking and I was so excited I had to share! It is our first!
My parents - On their anniversary this last weekend
Our siblings - We told them both today
Rest of the family will hear this weekend, we will then post on facebook. I am just really excited, and although i should probably wait, I have good feelings about our baby!
DS - 5/2010
DD - 6-2013
TTC #3 - Cycle #9
The day we found out we told our immediate family.
Over the course of the next few days we told very close friends.
After around 12 weeks we will be spreading the good news!!!!!
We will come out to "all" after the first trimester.
We came out right away with our families (4 wks) and our close friends (5wks). We're waiting to tell most people until after the first u/s (10 wks) and then will come out to everyone after the first trimester.

We told our parents and immediate family right away and I have told a few people here and there. I also told my bosses last week because my m/s was out of control and I wanted them to know why I had been disappearing to the bathroom so frequently. I plan to let the news out to everyone after our first u/s on Tuesday.
My Chart
BFF, my sis and MIL---day of BFP
haven't told my parents yet, not wanting to (yep I'm a chicken) trying to wait til first apt on the 15th. Then we will tell DH's siblings!
wait til after the first tri to tell FB!
We told our families (not extended family) after our first appt. at 6 weeks.
I told my best friends some time after that, and told work just this past week.
We will tell the Facebook world after our 12-week appt. in a week-and-a-half!?
We told my parents the 1st day we got our BFP @ 10dpo. I told my BFF within days & we told all other family around 7 weeks. I came out to work at 10 weeks & still have not told the general public yet (i.e. facebook).
I have an u/s one week from today. I will be 13 weeks & I think as long as everything is good at the u/s I will announce on fb then.
Immediate family & close friends - right after our BFP
I'm am trying to hold out on work, but I may have to tell my boss soon because I feel like crappy and am not as productive as usual.
We don't plan on coming out to everyone until after first tri, but we are going to a destination wedding next weekend where we will be sharing a house with 8 other people, and I have a feeling it's going to come out when people notice I'm not drinking and sucking on preggie pops :P
told parents a few close friends and sibs- a few days after BFP
as long as all goes well at our NT scan on Tuesday- we will tell everyone. we will be 12 weeks, 1 day.
I want to wait till after my first u/s, but DH wants to start telling people now. With my first pregnancy we told our parents and a couple close friends right away, and then had to un-tell them at 8 wks when there was no heartbeat on the ultrasound. With DD we told our family at 6 wks (went on a trip with DH's family and drinking/sushi was involved, so we kinda had to tell) then told other close friends after we saw the heartbear. We waited till 18 wks to talk about it openly because my company was doing layoffs and I was worried that I might be laid off if they knew I was pregnant (illegal I know, but you never know and it would have been hard to prove).
We are telling my parents TODAY! I'm so nervous, but excited too! We're planning to tell the in-laws after the NT scan in 2 weeks. We probably won't tell friends or extended family until at least 13 weeks, but will depend on how long I can hide it successfully.
