1st Tri - Are you telling at 12 weeks or 13.3?

soylatte · October 2013

Just curious to know when you announced! We told a few family members already - but what about the general public???

Marcella05 · October 2013

Told mom and bro at 4 weeks. His mom and sisters at 8 weeks. Our close friends at 11.5 weeks. General public between 12 and 13 weeks.

Helmink0804 · October 2013

We already told after first appointment. We're not very good at keeping our own secret. Plus we were having a huge party at our house the following weekend and everyone would of guessed it by the fact I wasn't drinking!

MrsT2008 · October 2013

last time we told right at 12 weeks, but my NT scan was also right at that time as well. This time, my NT scan isn't until 13 weeks, so we'll go public after that.

chillypenguin · October 2013

We will be announcing tomorrow on Facebook at 12w3d because that's when my NT scan is. I almost posted the pic we took of DD in her big sister-to-be shirt on Saturday because I think it's so cute, but I would feel better after the ultrasound tomorrow.

MissLadyTay · October 2013

Neither. We were going to after the NT scan at 12 weeks but I don't want to. None of the people we HAVE told have been excited and my feelings have been thoroughly trampled. So we're going to wait a while longer. Maybe around Thanksgiving.

Oh no! Please don't let negative people rob you of your joy. You're making a gorgeous baby - it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. Protect your heart and do what's best - but NEVER let someone rob you of joy. I am happy for you. :-)

CaiKov · October 2013

We told everyone at 13 weeks, which was also right after the NT scan. It was so hard to wait!

jenb_99 · October 2013

I told immediate family members and my closest friends right away (~4 wks). I'll announce publicly at 10w3d, when we have our first ultrasound.

We are all happy for you! Just remember you are going to have the greatest gift of all at the end of your pregnancy and no negative thoughts or comments will change that! I am super happy for you! I know how you feel because when we told my parents my moms reaction wasn't the greatest and what she said next wasn't the most comforting thing she said. So please know that every mama on this blog is thrilled for you!

dollface777 · October 2013

We told close family and friends at 11.5 weeks. We are telling everyone during a Halloween party and Facebook announcing after that.

awc1986 · October 2013

We told parents after our 7 wk scan and everyone else after our NT scan at 12.5wks.

lynseyadamson · October 2013

We told our parents early on but I didn't really want to since we are pgal. I've got my scan on Wednesday at 11+3 and I'll probably tell work, friends and the like after that.

Hooper88 · October 2013

We told immediate family and a few close friends right when we found out...work was told after first ultrasound at 7 weeks, we will go public on facebook on halloween when I will be 11weeks 4 days.

Sdufort1216 · October 2013

I told my immediate fam at 6 weeks and everyone else just found out by 9 weeks

MCH77 · October 2013

There are people that have known for weeks. But extended family, coworkers, etc found out after NT Scan.

Lild09 · October 2013

I've had 2 good ultra sounds at 8 and 10 weeks heart beat was strong too but I haven't gotten to hear it through a Doppler yet I'm 13 w on Halloween when we are kind if thinking of announcing but I have another appointment on nov 5th and I almost want one more confirmation that everything's ok in there before we tell everyone else. All close family and a couple very close friends know but that's it !

Your comment is something I needed to hear! Thank you!

flowerx2 · October 2013

We just went public on Facebook this weekend. Family and close friends we told around 8 weeks.

MrsT2008 · October 2013

I should add that for us, "going public" basically just means I'll post something on FB. our immediate families and most of our close friends already know. My coworkers already know as well. It was way harder to keep it a secret this time around. Plus, I've known since 3w2d so I've been going crazy not telling people.

QOTR · October 2013

I'm trying to hold out until Thanksgiving. I'd prefer to tell family in person. We won't of course tell work or FB until after the family knows.

ksyknelvr73 · October 2013

I think we will announce after our NT scan, and we haven't scheduled it yet so I'm not sure exactly how far along I will be. With my son, we announced after the NT scan and I was 12 weeks 6 days.

ckandi007 · October 2013

We plan on announcing on FB hopefully tomorrow. I'll be 12 1/2 weeks. We would have done it sooner, but we just haven't had time to take a pic.

MrsLeanna · October 2013

Told close friends and immediate family right away. I like to announce after the NT scan, which I'm doing this week, so if everything is ok, we will make it facebook official this wednesday.

typeset · October 2013

I had my NT scan at just over twelve weeks and we spilled the beans then.

meli1025 · October 2013

Most of my family and close friends know already and we will tell the rest of those who don't know this Saturday (at DH's birthday dinner at our house). I'm not doing any other announcements and the FB world will find out when this little one is born.

RenonUthZhakrin · October 2013

I understand why people wait when they do-

But we told people right away, for no other reason than we wanted to be able to be happy and celebrate as soon as possible, and if god forbid something should happen, people would then understand why me and my Hubby were upset.

runningyogimama · October 2013

We told family at 10 weeks and then have been telling close friends. I need to tell work, just haven't worked with my manager in a while, and it seems like it would be an awkward thing to email, haha. Hopefully we'll be done telling our in-person people this week, and I'll post on FB next week. I'll be 13 weeks, but I had my appt on Thursday, so had we told everyone important already, I wouldn't mind making it "public."

TeamKrueger · October 2013

We haven't told anyone yet... We've really enjoyed the privacy and getting to have the excitement to ourselves. However, it's getting a little difficult at this point and I'm having to skirt around a lot of subjects to keep it private. (I've been asked twice if I was pregnant because I wasn't drinking at a social event, just kinda laughed "Yeah... Right! hahaha". Not technically a lie?) We always wanted to wait until the end of the first tri to tell family, and I'll be 12 weeks next weekend so we may do it then. I'm so nervous though!

sparklingdiamond · October 2013

We told family right away and we are telling everyone else this week (I will be 12 weeks), since we just had our NT scan and everything looked good so far (just waiting on blood work).

AmyfromMI · October 2013

We're going to tell family and friends on thanksgiving day since that's when we'll all be together; I'll be 14 weeks.

Pixiesmom73 · October 2013

I will tell my parents this weekend after my next ultrasound on Thursday- want to make sure things are still going well. I will tell other friends and coworkers after I am 13 weeks, not sure when I will put it on FB.

kristine526 · October 2013

We went public at 12 weeks. Immediate family and good friends knew for a while by then.

awknyc · October 2013

My parents and sister knew the moment we got our BFP. I've told all my close friends anywhere b/w 9w-12w. But as the rest of FB and my work is concerned, I wasn't planning on announcing until Thanksgiving at 17w, that is if I can keep my bump hidden for that long. I actually wanted to find out what we were having at 20w first and then announce on FB. Is it weird that I want to wait that long? It's my first, no losses, am SUPER excited, but for some reason am very overly cautious.

melissamello · October 2013

We told family and close friends at 10w. I honestly don't think we are going to announce on Facebook because we already told everyone we really care about. Acquaintances on facebook would only care to know because they're nosey

julesf817 · October 2013

we're officially out, and it's been really nice being able to tell people. we haven't done the facebook thing yet, just because i can't decide on a picture to use!

I think I am going to wait til Christmas (I will also be 20 weeks) to announce on fb, so I don't think that is weird. We'll tell family and friends though after our 2nd appointment/test results next week, and we already told immediate family. I figure anybody that really needs to know will know well before we put it on fb. It will just be for the general public at that point.

Christinaruth74 · October 2013

Just about all of our closest friends and family know. I am not doing the NT scan, but we have an appointment on Wednesday where we will (hopefully) hear the HB. Assuming that appointment goes well, we will announce to the general public Wednesday or Thursday. I can't wait to just get it all out there... I'll feel less required to suck it in all the time and pretend I feel fine when I really just wanna barf and sleep all day.

Sarac2288 · October 2013

Telling the rest of family at 11 weeks 6 days it's the day after I hear the heartbeat idk when I'll announce to fb thinking during week 12 since I work in a big place and my clothes are fitting so tight I look fat

IBackBevo · October 2013

I'm going to wait until I am showing and can't hide it anymore to tell the world-at-large. This is only because I really don't want to tell my boss.
