This is our first pregnancy and my first doctor appointment is in one week and my husband wants to tell his parents.. when is a good time??

Congratulations!! When to tell is a personal decision, no right or wrong time. 

We tell our families straight away. Then gradually tell really close friends and family. Then around 12 weeks we will tell everyone else.

We told immediate family right away.

We waited a little time with our first, but told family right away with this one. We were visiting our family and attending a wedding, would've required too much effort to hide it with all of the festivities;)

It's personal choice. We are again waiting until after our first appt (at about 11 weeks this time) to tell our families. We will wait to tell everyone else until after the ultrasound test at 12ish weeks ( I can't remember the name of that test!). I want to be sure. Although, i would suggest waiting to tell friends until 12 weeks.

Congrats!

It is a personal preference, but this pregnancy and the last, we didn't tell until we had the proof of an ultra sound and heart beat.  Our first one, we told right away and they (meaning MIL and both of my parents) didn't keep it to themselves like we asked and when we lost the baby, I (not DH, they all called me) had to field calls from relatives and family friends that I had not expected to talk to.

Again, like everyone has already said, it is personal preference. But immediate family is so important to me I would tell them right away. I personally just found out I am pregnant after TTC for almost 2 years and going through infertility treatments. We are waiting until next weekend to share the news because I want to make sure my levels continue to rise and mainly because we want to tell our families together and next weekend we have a family dinner planned. I'm dieing to tell my mom though. She is going to flip!!

I agree, it's a personal preference. We told our families and close friends as soon as we found out, but I'm holding out on telling everyone until our first ultrasound.
