How far along will you be when you tell people?

AllieAlba · June 2014

I'm heading back home next week, and then the week after that I'm going to visit my parents and tell them about being pregnant, so I'll be 13 weeks pregnant. I plan to tell all the rest of my close friends and family in the couple of weeks after, but I'm going to try and hold off until 17 weeks to tell my other friends and work. What about everyone else?

MNgirl326 · June 2014

I started telling people around 8 weeks. My mom, dad and brother I told right away though.

Pretty much all of my close friends know at this point. I will do a bigger more official announcement sometime between 12-20 weeks. i'm not in a hurry for the FB announcement.

oh and my principal already knows, I told him before school got out a couple weeks ago.

Milagros315 · June 2014

We told our parents and my siblings right away. We will tell the rest of our families right around 12 weeks when we go home to visit. I guess we'll start telling friends sometime after that, but I'm not sure if we'll do a FB announcement or just let the news spread around on its own.

kbl13 · June 2014

We told parents and siblings right away. My bloat-bump is pretty noticible, so I plan on sharing the news with close friends/neighbors after my 1st appt at 10-ish weeks... and anyone else just as I see them. There will be no Facebook announcement until someone tags me in a pic (which I assume will happen while visiting my family in September).

Josie400 · June 2014

It was 10 weeks for me. I was not planning a fb announcement at all, but my dad was so excited he posted something. Honestly, I'm happy not keeping it a secret anymore from anyone.

firegalb · June 2014

We had to tell people around 7 weeks. I'm a firefighter and needed to tell work so that I could come off the trucks and not expose the baby to any of the toxins from fires.
We felt weird that everyone at work knew and our family didn't, so we spilled the beans pretty early.

EmilyA724 · June 2014

We were originally going to wait until 12 weeks to tell anybody but it was so exhausting keeping it a secret. We ended up telling parents at a little over 8 weeks, and then we just told siblings on Friday at a little over 10 weeks. We're going to be officially out about it to extended family and whoever else finds out at 12 weeks. I'm going to tell my manager on Tuesday but will tell the rest of work people at 12 or 13 weeks.

ETA: I'm not planning any kind of social media announcement so it'll all be word of mouth

Tapsalteerie · June 2014

We told our parents at 5 weeks which is when my morning sickness really started kicking in. We needed help with our 3 year old since I can barely take care of myself. Told close friends at about 7 weeks since most of them were extremely supportive during my two losses. We will tell the rest after the NT scan next week.

letsgox · June 2014

We told our families yesterday. I'm 11+ weeks and we had he opportunity to tell in person with our siblings and parents present. We won't tell the work til after we are able to spread the word to our extended families. Most likely in a couple of weeks. It's a personal decision and everyone has different reasons for waiting/telling early as you can see.

Mrs_Bennett · June 2014

We've told a few close friends and family members already, but are planning to spill the beans to everyone else tomorrow after my appointment. I'll be 13 weeks exactly.

We won't do a Facebook announcement until after the anatomy scan.

Stargirlb · June 2014

Everyone knew right away. It always comes up in casual convo and I'm no good at secrets

Curbs12 · June 2014

I told my parents and in laws right away. I told my grand parents at 7 wks, and just started telling extending family when I hit 12 weeks a few days ago. I thought I would announce on Facebook at 13 wks, but now i don't think I will post anything until I have the baby, kind of a surprise to everyone who hasn't seen me. But again, that could change lol.

rainbows · June 2014

I thought I would announce at work at 12 weeks but now I'm in no hurry. My immediate family found out right away and I gave mom permission to tell her friends after we heard the heartbeat. I guess I may wait until the anatomy scan at this point.

GromMom · June 2014

After we get the results from our genetic screening, which will probably be around week 12 anyway.

steelerfanva · June 2014

We are telling my mom and brother next weekend, first time we will be seeing them since we find out (they live 4 hours from us). I will be at 11 weeks. Plus, after 6 years of trying, I really want to tell my mom in person. DHs parents will find out via skype at some point after my mom, as they live out in Seattle, and we have no plans to see them this year. Some people at work know because I have been sick, and my best friend knows because we went to spend a weekend with them and I turned down wine.

My big issue is making sure his family does not put it out there on facebook. his sister will totally think it is her news to share, so DH will need to explain several times that we don't want it out there on FB, we want to tell people when the time is right for us, etc.

kaybeeknits · June 2014

I just told my family a few days ago, just under 12 weeks. We will tell H's family July 4th weekend. Friends will be soon after that. I'm still undecided on when to announce on facebook. I'm definitely AW enough to want the likes (

), but I'm considering waiting until the A/S ultrasound. Not sure yet.

SRose1005 · June 2014

I told my three best girlfriends as soon as I found out. We told immediate family (parents and siblings) at 8 weeks once we had seen a happy ultrasound with a heartbeat. We're telling employers at 12 weeks and everyone else as we see them after that. After our anatomy scan at 20 weeks (I think) we'll do a cute little low key Facebook announcement.

alibc123 · June 2014

I announced on Facebook last week...I was 11 weeks

YaMrWhite · June 2014

Told my parents and siblings at 10w and now just waiting until I get the urge to tell FB. I don't really care to right now.

LadyXaverian · June 2014

Most of our close friends and family know now, with maybe a few exceptions. We won't go FB public until after our 1st tri screening, so around 12 or 13 weeks.

Roxycc55 · June 2014

Siblings and parents got told right away. Close friends have been told as we have seen them. I told my supervisors right away so they'd be understanding of my anxiety and increased dr appts because of my loss. I just told the rest of my coworkers at a little over 8 weeks, didn't plan to but came out at a staff retreat.

I told my parents they can tell extended family whenever they feel like it, but I'm not dealing with it. Mainly because last time we weren't married and once everyone got told it was a scandal, and then barely anyone said sh!t or acknowledged the loss and I'm still bitter about it. So I don't feel like dealing with them surrounding another pregnancy.

As far as FB I'm waiting to cross my 15 week milestone to announce.

firespirit717 · June 2014

I've told close family an a few friends by 8 weeks. I won't make it official on fb for extended family and friends to see until after I tell work. Since I just started my job I'll be holding off as long as I can.

GirlWithAnchors · June 2014

We're waiting for the big pubic announcement until we find out the Sex. Close family and friend know but that's about it

Mdm159 · June 2014

Our families and my bff knew right away. I was thinking we'd announce on fb after the anatomy scan but DH is dying to announce sooner so we'll probably do something after the nt scan tomorrow morning!

KJsbabe · June 2014

We'll being seeing family just after 13w, so we will start telling then. Once all the important people know, then we will do a FB announcement. Lots of extended family and collage friends on there that we'd like to tell.

mmooki · June 2014

We told parents right away. Then everyone else after the u/s I had at 8w. I've told some others if it comes up...we'll wait a few more weeks to make any sort of social media announcement.

Edited because I clicked save comment too soon.

Maebb · June 2014

We told parents and siblings around 7 weeks after we had seen the heartbeat on an ultrasound.

I told my 2 BBFs around 9 weeks.

I will probably wait until 13ish weeks to tell work and Facebook.

Pips09 · June 2014

We told immediate family right away. I'll be 11-12 weeks when we tell others. Usually I'd wait until after 12+ weeks, but we're moving and I want to tell our friends before we leave.

wcmama1001 · June 2014

I told my mom, but we haven't told anyone else. We'll wait until after the 12 week mark and may wait longer. I won't tell work until I really have to because I'm showing... My boss and most of my team members are on the other side of the world so I have a little wiggle room to work with there

.

Tsuga76 · June 2014

I told my parents, sister, and two best friends right after I found out. They all knew we'd been trying for awhile. We saw DH's family about a week later (they live in another state, as do mine) and told his parents, sister, and two best friends. Then, everyone started telling everyone else in our families, so, so much for keeping it to a handful of people. I had my fist midwife visit with a good ultrasound and heartbeat last week, so I'm less concerned about people knowing now. Still, I'd like to wait until after we get genetic testing results, which will be toward the end of the first trimester, before being really open about it.

peggels24 · June 2014

DH's parents know and my family knows and like 5 very close friends. We will tell the rest of DH's family on July 4th weekend and we will tell everyone else the third weekend in July. More people might find out this weekend because I am going away for a wedding with almost all of my friends attending...but we are going to try to keep it as quiet as possible.

liladelphia215 · June 2014

We told my parents right away. I also told a good friend and a cousin of mine almost right away.

My siblings and close extended family and DH's family we told around Father's Day (8+ weeks). I told my immediate supervisor around 7 weeks and we are keeping it hush hush for now.

The rest of the world I'll tell after my appointment in two weeks. We saw the hb at 7 weeks via ultrasound but I want to hear it on the doppler before going public at work or before any FB posts are made. I'll be around 12 weeks when that happens.

TXUltraRunner · June 2014

We went public at 10 weeks

MichaelSC28 · June 2014

I told the parents right away! I told the aunts and uncles on my side like a week ago at 9 weeks. I will tell the DH'S family and the rest of friends next week at 4th of july it will be our 12 weeks. I can't believe we have made it this far!! SO excited!

stemmerschmidt · June 2014

I told my parents and in-laws when I got the positive pregnancy test. I told the planet when I saw the heartbeat!

I had 3 early miscarriages in the past 2 years that never got past 5 weeks and never produced a heartbeat, so my philosophy is, let everyone know and tell them you can use any prayer they can spare that everything turns out ok. I'm at 9 weeks now and feeling great and I believe all the positive vibes have helped.

12chachacha · June 2014

My mom knows, my immediate supervisor and a few colleagues at work know, and a few other people know (people I had to tell for one reason or another).

My next ultrasound will be 12w6d, so if everything looks good, we'll start telling more broadly. I'll tell as many people as I can in person before posting it on facebook so that will probably be a while.

britb618 · June 2014

I feel like with our first pregnancy we were so good at keeping it a secret until we announced- this time around I keep spilling the beans to everyone I see! I'll wait until second tri to let any leaks out into social media though

thompnia · June 2014

We told family at seven weeks (thought we were 8 weeks.). Told my work at 7w3d, day after viability u/s for safety reasons. Fb announcement at ten weeks.

luciddreamer106 · June 2014

We told parents, siblings, and really close friends right away. I also told a co-worker who is PGAL the next time we worked together, she's only 1 month ahead. I'm waiting to tell the rest of my family and friends after my NT scan at 12 weeks.

MH went to a work function Saturday night, got a little drunk, and ended up telling a bunch of his coworkers/friends. We went to a BBQ with them yesterday and he told more that he didn't tell the night before. Oh, well. Some of them know about our losses.
