  After we heard the heartbeat we told parents, some other family and a few friends.  We won't be publicly announcing until 14 weeks.  Our doc says that's when you're really out of the 1st tri "danger zone".  She was so funny, after we saw baby and heard heartbeat doc was like, "Go ahead and tell your family but don't make it Facebook official till week 14."  HA!

  Being my first pregnancy and scared, I told my parents within a week of knowing. Now I'm on week 12 and I can't wait to announce it to all my friends this week!

  The first time I got pregnant we told everyone immediately, but then we lost the baby at 7 weeks.

  This time we told our parents right away and we'll tell family members after we see the heartbeat. A public announcement will have to wait until after first trimester though.

  With DS, we announced really early to our families (around 5ish weeks), told my principal (and close friends) at 6ish weeks after the first u/s with the RE, and announced on FB after my first OB appointment at about 10w when we had a 2nd u/s.

  With this one, we just told our families on Sunday (so 10w6d), and we won't tell anyone else until at least after the NT scan next Monday at 12w, and we might wait even longer than that to announce on FB.

  We told parents right away, but we publicly made an annoucment at 9 weeks. We were pretty confident everything was ok, and figured that if something happened it would happen if people knew or not.

  We told our parents at 5 weeks, I told my job at 8 weeks (there were reasons for this) and we announced at 11 weeks (so just this week!)  We had an ultrasound at 10 weeks, 6 days, so we felt confident.  We got to see our baby and hear (and see) the heartbeat.  That's when we made it facebook official.  I haven't had that many "congrats" comments since our engagement and then our wedding!

  The first two times I got pregnant, we didn't tell anyone expect for one very close friend of mine. Both times, I miscarried. In retrospect, I'm thankful I never made any big facebook announcements, but I wish I had been more open with close friends and family members because (for me, personally) I could have used the emotional support and prayers. 

  This time, we told a few very close friends and family right away, simply for that reason. Extra prayers never hurt anyone, and if something did go wrong, I would want those people to know so I could have their support and encouragement. Still, I will wait for at least hearing the heartbeat - if not until 2nd tri - to announce publicly (as in facebook, everyone else, etc). 

  I already have my idea for how I want to announce all planned out in my head though!  

  
  After 2 years of TTC#1, 2 losses, & a lot of prayers, we're hoping this is it!
