  I think you should tell your mom when when you're ready, it shouldn't matter what your bff's opinion is on when is a good time to have a baby.  GL!

  We are waiting until Easter to tell the family, which will actually be right around the 12th week. ?Our family is out of town, so this just makes the most sense and its good timing as well! ?We actually went home the Friday that I got my BFP, and my mom guessed it. ?So much for mother's intuition, huh?!! ?Good luck keeping the secret...it sure is hard!

  We have pretty much just told our parents. I haven't told by BFF yet and it is so weird to keep the secret, but I am just cautious.?

  Tell when you are ready - dont worry about anyone or anything else. We are going to wait until at least 12 weeks.

  My DH is like yours. We will wait as long as we can. We might tell our parents at 8 weeks after my first appointment.

  We are waiting until Easter weekend too. It is my dad's birthday and just seems to make sense. We just feel better waiting until the first trimester is over. But it sure is hard to keep the secret!

  We told our parents and siblings as soon as we got a BFP.  I figure no matter what I need them by me-- I would die if I could not tell my Mom or my sisters.  And as far as friends and grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins... that will be on Easter and around there-- so at 11 weeks and some.

  I would tell your mom-she will be a big support to you no matter what happens.  We told our parents and a few select other people so far.  Otherwise we are waiting until the 12 week mark to tell everyone else.  It's been hard keeping it a secret, but I will feel much better telling once I'm done with the first trimester.

  We're having our first ultrasound at 12w1d (in two weeks). We're planning to tell my parents and siblings the following weekend at 13 weeks. (and then everyone else)

  At this point, I've only told the people who need to know: my doctors and nurses, the dentist, and my massage therapist. Its been hard, but I also like having a secret

  According to my doctor (and they probably will all say something different), there are 2 real safe points, and the end of the trimester isn't one of the. 

  1.  Hearing/seeing the heartbeat

  2.  10 weeks

  He told me if you get to both those points, you are as safe as you are going to be at any later point in the pregnancy.  Not 100% safe, of course, because it's never 100%.

  I'm around DH and my families a lot, so we had to tell them early because I had m/s all the time. We're all very close, so I could not imagine keeping the big secret from them!
