when did you start telling?

KMT to JWH · March 2010

Thinking about my SIL got me thinking. When did you start telling people you were pregnant? We were 9 weeks, right after our first ultrasound. We wanted to make sure everything was looking good.

jennybeams · March 2010

We told as soon as we got the BFP, around 4-5 weeks.

jwhokie · March 2010

Immediate family was right away. Work and friends came at 9 weeks.

Lucky428 · March 2010

We told our immediate family right away. But after 3 mcs, we kept the news private for the first trimester. By the time we spilled the beans, we had at least 4 u/s (I was high risk, it's the one perk to being high risk)

We told our parents and future uncles VERY early.....4.5 weeks. Everyone else was after the first u/s at 10 weeks. Work was around 11 weeks.

CDCbaby · March 2010

We told immediate family right after the U/S and first doc appt which was around 8 weeks. Didn't tell co-workers or friends or anyone else until 12 weeks.

With our first we told my parents right away and his parents a few weeks later, everyone else after 12 weeks. With the next 2 we waited almost 12 weeks to tell anyone.

I told my mom on Easter, when I was about 7 weeks or so.. I made her wait to tell anyone until I was at least 10 weeks. About 10 weeks we started telling everyone else.

We told our parents at about 9 weeks & friends & other family at 12.

DH called everyone we know and told them when I was 5 weeks pregnant. Fortunately for us everything was fine and I didn't have to deal with the fallout of a possible miscarriage.

However, next time I think we'll wait till about 10-12 weeks before we tell anybody.

I suck at keeping secrets I told everyone after the doctor confirmed it at 6 weeks.

buttrflychic05 · March 2010

we told family and close friends as soon as we BFP, we wanted their support IF we were to miscarry again (We are a military family and my DH is not always here, so I have to have a good support system.) We told everyone after our first ultrasound at 9 weeks.

jcsntms06 · March 2010

8 weeks right after our first appointment.

ckmommy · March 2010

I told my sister and BFF right away. One week before our first u/s we told H's family but we didn't tell my family until after the u/s. I was told a long time ago that I couldn't have children and wanted all of the answers to the multitude of questions my family would have before telling them. We weren't going to tell anyone else until I was in the 2nd tri but while working on a project I was eltrocuted in front of a group of friends and they couldn't figure out why I was freaking out. The cat was out of the bag after that.

lovebug630 · March 2010

I think I was 8 or 9 weeks when we told our immediate family. We waited until the end of the first trimester to tell everyone else, when I knew the risk for miscarriage had gone down.

POAS while on the phone with my mom...

J/K, but almost. called her when I saw the faintest of lines. Then stayed on the phone with her while I went to the drug store to purchase like 5 more tests.

Then called her back when those all came back positive. She then proceeded to tell my aunts.

I was like 4 weeks (but thought I was further along due to irregular periods).

sgrl · March 2010

I got pregnant with Sadie immediately after a miscarriage. With the first pregnancy, we told our families immediately, then my friends. I told some of my coworkers after our first ultrasound, since we saw the h/b.

I was so gunshy after losing the first pregnancy that I didn't want to tell ANYONE. We told our families at nine weeks, but ONLY because we were going on vacation with my family and I knew they'd figure it out. I told my best friend around five weeks, and I told two of my coworkers right away. I told my other close friends after the first tri screening. I didn't tell anyone else at work until I was 20 weeks along. Of course, most of them had figured it out by then, but I didn't volunteer any information.

Heather1979 · March 2010

We told my mom the day after BFP, and ILs the day after that, I was about 5 weeks then.

Most of our extended family were told around 8 weeks, and we told close friends then too.

It went on facebook around week 12.

Angilyn Wright · March 2010

We told immediate family about a week after we found out(6 weeks pg). I waited until my first ultrasound to tell work and friends.

kreeper611 · March 2010

Told the ILs at 10 weeks and my mom at 11 (wanted to tell each in person) but told them not to tell anyone else until 12 weeks.

shihtzumomma · March 2010

Since my first baby was stillborn, I wanted to wait a while. But I decided if something happened again I'd want people to know so I could have a support system. I ended up telling at 7 weeks.

catycombs · March 2010

12 weeks!

kcisthebombdotcom · March 2010

12 weeks. We had an ultrasound at 8 weeks where we saw the heartbeat, but we wanted to wait until the 12 week mark when we heard it via doppler and were at the end of first tri. I didn't tell ANYONE, not even parents until 12 weeks!
