its so early...3weeks6days. who did you tell?

Kpsbabyzoe · December 2011

so i am super early in my pregnancy..but because we were TTCAL we were totally on the testing and knew when we got the first positive test (yesterday!). last time when i m/c i hadn't even told anyone except DH of course- but then ended up dumping it on my mom and one of my closest friends C. after the loss, i decided if we got pregnant again i wanted to tell those people right away so that should we happen to have another loss, i wouldn't have to explain so much. it was so awkward to say, "i was pregnant, but now i'm not". so i told my friend C...and my husband, but i'm a little scared to tell my mom. also- my friend H is 10.5weeks pregnant, and i'm dieing to tell her that we are pregnant too but i'm afraid it's too early. how did you all handle this? who did you tell, and when?

I told DH and my best friend. I waited until I was 5.5 weeks to tell my mom (I wanted to wait longer but it was her birthday and I thought it would be a nice gift) and then told the inlaws around 7ish weeks. I didn't tell the world (including my family.. grandmas/aunts/cousins) until after my NT scan at 12 weeks.

I am telling my BFF tonight and my husband told his boss this week because he will be taking time off for the appointments. We'll probably wont tell anyone, including extended family like our parents, until after first tri. That is what we did with Maddie and I was very glad that is what we did with the pregnancy we lost. Hardly anyone knew and I preferred it that way. The ones who did know were extremely supportive and I didn't get any clueless, hurtful or just down right mean comments and questions.

I told my DH and noone else until we saw the HB at 7wks.

Obviously DH and my sister. We didn't tell anyone else until we were 10wks and that was just my parents. His parents at 12wks and we announced it this week to our friends and the rest of the fam via xmas card. I wasn't comfortable telling everyone since I had multiple losses.

However, you need to do what you're comfortable with. I wasn't comfortable and that's what drove our decision.

congrats and welcome! I told dh right away (3w6d as well). I told my mom at 5 weeks and a lot of other close friends and family at 6w. No fb announcement until after the anatomy scan. I wanted to tell my closest supporters right away because they knew what we went through and we wanted them to know in case it were to happen again (plus we were at an annual summer party and everyone figured it out when I wasn't drinking).

I told everyone I came in contact to the very moment I left the OB office after the dipped my stick. I needed people to know I was expecting.

Congratulations. I found out very early with this one at 3w3d so you aren't too early! It does make for a long pregnancy. Smile

I didn't tell the masses until after our NT scan results at 12 weeks, and even then if it hadn't been for my DH I'd probably still not be telling people.

Only DH knew that early. We didn't tell our parents until we were almost 6 weeks, and then told our siblings at about 8-10 weeks. We didn't go public with our pg until after our 12 week check with the OB when we got to hear the heartbeat.

I am almost 23 weeks and we still haven't told anyone. I could already tell I would get phone calls alll the time asking me how I am and if everything was okay still. That would be so annoying. I live out of the country so it's pretty easy to keep everything secret

We are however, telling parents and siblings when i am 28 weeks.
