When are you going to tell? clicky poll

Just curious when you all plan to tell the world (not just your closest friends and family). It would also be interesting to see if you're a first-timer, experienced, etc. in the comments below.

I wish there was some more options as I want to wait until I can't hide it anymore.... Probably mid-to-late second trimester. Just because you pass the first trimester, does not mean you are home free

Kristin712 · July 2015

We will tell close family and a few friends after we hear a heartbeat. The rest of the world will learn after the first trimester. This is our first pregnancy.

FTM, not telling anyone including family until 12, probably 13 weeks (we move at the end of August and probably won't see family until 13w+ by the time we're settled)

Cherries2005 · July 2015

We told our family the day we got a positive test last time and ended up having a miscarriage later that week. So we're not telling anyone until after we hear a heart beat and are sure everything is going to be okay. But this will our second child. Almost feels like my first time being pregnant though, due to the fact it's been almost 7 years since I was last expecting.

Same here on more choices.
I had a loss at 14 weeks, my parents were the only ones who knew, but I'm not sure when we'll tell this time. Our family will find out after we pass our 14 week milestone...and then I guess we'll tell others when I can't hide it anymore, but we won't do a fb announcement or anything like that.

I clicked after first tri, but close family, close friends and some coworkers will know earlier.

parenthood4 · July 2015

This is our third, we have already told close friends and family. Will probably tell the world after first tri, as that's what we did for the first two.

I have an appointment at 8 or 9 weeks though, and if all goes well there then I am comfortable telling a wider range of friends.

MrsJP20082015 · July 2015

Depending on when we get to hear the heartbeat is when we will tell. We both have huge families so once they know I'm sure they will tell their close friends & so on & so on. If we have a miscarriage I would like to be open about it & have the support from everyone. So we aren't scared to tell early but this is my first pregnancy so there is always that scare

Family already knows. Will tell the world (aka Facebook) after our first scan.

yodapup · July 2015

I wanted to wait until 8 weeks (after first scan) to tell our close friends and family but we may be telling them tomorrow since a bunch will be over and we're too excited to wait. I think we'll do some sort of facebook announcement around 12 weeks so that's what I chose. Oh and this is our second pregnancy.

Jellybeanqueen13 · July 2015

Last pregnancy, we told family after we heard the heartbeat and the rest of the world after the anatomy scan. I imagine we will do the same this time.

aeh8810 · July 2015

STM here. We waited until 13 weeks with DS and will probably do the same this time. I am already telling the people closest to me and I will definitely be telling work before making a big announcement.

skruhmin · July 2015

I'm at least waiting to tell my boss after my first scan. Who knows as far as facebook goes - my husband is content to tell anyone right now (same with my 3 year old). We just moved churches and neighborhoods so it's not that big of a deal if strangers know.

KJKNAJ · July 2015

At birth. I have a lot of issues I'm working on since losing my DD in Feb.

futuremamahullrn2016 · July 2015

This our first and we told our parents week 6 after our first nurse appt. Our close family and friends we told this weekend and will announce after the first trimester. I know there's a lot of worry about doing it too soon, we have always been very open with our family and friends so we're comfortable with their support no matter what.
Everyone's love and reactions have helped balance out the nausea, roller coaster emotions and exhaustion ☺

oceanchild · July 2015

I am a right-away-er, and have been with each of 5 pregnancies (including one mc).

AlphabetFish · July 2015

Told family immediately. For friends, probably after we see the heartbeat.

For work... I kind of want to hold off on that for a while. Not sure.

We are doing the same.

Once I can't hide it anymore

J234 · July 2015

We are probably going to tell some family after our scan (either way since we will be staying with them) and we are holding off on friends and coworkers as long as possible to 12 weeks or more since we had our last loss at 8-10 weeks. (Detected at 8 weeks, not completed until 10 weeks and rough.) This is my fourth pregnancy. I have one kiddo and 2 mcs. $:\$

linseyrdaniel · July 2015

Anything can happen during the pregnancy at anytime so why wait. We're happy and excited! If I wanted to make sure everything was ok before I tell then it would just be a birth announcement. I can't keep a secret!

Rox2012 · July 2015

This is my second pregnancy. We will wait until first US which will be around 10 weeks.

amazedstar · July 2015

We told family and close friends with our first, between 7-9 weeks because we were so excited, and I lost my job at 9 weeks so we figured we had to tell everyone. With this one, we want to wait until after the first ultrasound or until I can't hide it any longer. We are excited, but we're not looking forward to everyone's input this time around.

babyrose526 · July 2015

Dying to share but keeping it in. Told both of our parents and a couple intimate friends. After the heartbeat, we'll tell my grandma (who's not always the best at keeping secrets), but we'll wait until end of first trimester to share with the world.

sahmrey · July 2015

We have 3 already. We told everyone very early on with each pregnancy. We are doing the same this time around. We suffered a miscarriage last year and really appreciated the love and support from the family and friends we had been able to tell beforehand. I'm so thankful I had people who knew and that I didn't have to suffer in silence. There is the fear that something could happen, but I see it the way another poster said--anything could happen at any time. We are excited and sharing our joy and enjoying the now.

katy0990 · July 2015

This is our first. We have told a handful of close friends. We told my brother over the weekend since we are not sure when he will be in town again. We are waiting until after first tri to share with everyone else.

mns81 · July 2015

This is our first. We are telling our parents and siblings on our 3rd wedding anniversary. I believe we'll be 9 weeks then. We'll wait to tell friends and everyone else once we get to the 2nd trimester

Alexandra0223 · July 2015

This is baby #2 for me. I has a partial molar pregnancy before #1 (which automatically ends in a miscarriage) . I feel comfortable telling friends and family about this pregnancy after the heartbeat. Plus, I am sure I will show super early this time.
