When to tell everyone

morgansWed105148 · November 2014

today I had my 2nd drs appt. baby heart beat is 165 and tomorrow I'm at 11 weeks!! I just wanna tell everyone now!! You think I should wait a few more weeks or do I just let it all out. I'm so private with personal stuff but so open wih superficial stuff I'm having a hard time!

It's totally up to you. I'm waiting until 13 weeks though which will be this Thursday. My next doctors appt is this weds and assuming I still have two strong heartbeats I'm going to shout the good news from the rooftops!

The closest people in our lives already know as we have been slowly expanding our circle since we found out. We are announcing to the world tomorrow and I'm super excited about it! I will be 11wks 6days. I'm a FTM and I have been so nervous about this pregnancy and finally feel in a comfortable spot where I want to share. I would recommend making this decision personal and about when you are ready instead of based on social norms.

Oh and yes our immediate family and close friends know! We just haven't gone "public" quite yet.

I haven't told anyone yet and it's killing me! This will be the first grandkid on my side so I cannot wait to spill the beans! We are waiting until after we get out results from our NT scan (which hopefully will be this Friday).

I think you are fine to tell people now. Like a PP said, there are risks no matter what trimester you are in so you might as well tell everyone if that is what you want to do.

I told everyone on Halloween. I'm 13 wks today.

We told everyone between 12 and 14 weeks. My last apt was at 12 weeks and now I am already second guessing my decision. Omg, am I still pregnant? Is everything ok? How am I going to untell people...yada, yada, yada.

It was important to me to wait until the NT scan came back with no problems.

Tell when you feel comfortable. There is no magic time.

We announced at 12 weeks after a good ultrasound. If I didn't have that ultrasound at 12 weeks, I probably would have waited for my 14 week apt to hear the heart beat one more time.

I don't know if I am going to officially tell people. This will be my fourth. My youngest is 6 months. I had an iud in but obviously it didn't work for me! I have had to hear so many comments after getting pregnant with and having my third, actually had people say some stupid things recently since they do not know I am pregnant, and I don't want to hear anymore and I do not feel the need to explain my reproductive issues and birth control failures. With my others I told everyone at about 13 weeks but I have a history of miscarriage so I have been super paranoid about about telling people.

We waited until 15 weeks with DS and we will wait until after 17 with this pregnancy.

I don't like the special attention and time seems to slow down once you announce...so we're going to keep pretending we are not pregnant.

All of my really close family and friends have known for awhile but I've decided I'm going to tell all of my coworkers next Monday, I'll be 13 weeks! I've been super nervous about telling people because I haven't had the easiest 1st trimester I've had bad cramping, bright red bleeding, and clotting. Found out I had blood underneath my placenta and had a high risk of miscarrying so needless to say things have been scary. But my baby is still doing great heart still beating strong and I haven't had any spontaneous bleeding in about 3 weeks so I told myself it's time to stop being afraid and share my news! Good luck to you

My family and close friends know, but I am going to announce at work at our staff meeting on Wednesday. I actually want to wait until after my appointment next week (15w), but I'm keeping my FX that everything will be fine!

I'm waiting to get my CVS results before i tell my parents; i know they will want to micromanage so i'm a bit hesitant. And there are lots of changes going on at work so i'm in no rush to announce there. Both my husband and i have told our best friends who live far away but otherwise no one know yet.

Personal decision- tell when you are ready and feel comfortable. Some people tell immediately. Some wait till 2nd trimester or longer.

dj99 · November 2014

I don't really think there is a "right" time to tell. It's really when you feel comfortable in sharing your news. Most women like to wait until they're past those 12 weeks since the rate of m/s drops after. We started telling family and close friends at 12w after our genetic tests.

ashleymritchie · November 2014

I waited until 14 weeks. I had my appointment at 13 weeks and 3 days so it wasn't that hard to wait. But I felt so much better about sharing after seeing everything was okay.

kaynix21 · November 2014

Our parents and DH's sister know. And our closest friends know.

We will announce after first tri is over. And most likely not until after Thanksgiving, and that'll be sometime around 15 weeks.

We've been telling close family and friends along the way. It became "facebook official" last night at 11w1d. My sister and I both announced them last night on facebook
