I told close friends with a picture of the second positive test result, my family with the third and then everyone else with the 8 week ultrasound. I know a lot of people want to wait until after 12 weeks but we were so excited about it that we couldn't wait to share the news!
There is a huge thread called "Share your pregnancy announcement here!" with lots of info on everyone's announcements! I'd look there. I just bumped it up from page 2 for you.
No. We told our folks, siblings, and 1 set of friends. We're telling another set of friends today that we want to be like the godparents.
The first set of friends didn't go so well. They were like, "You mean you aren't going to drink for seven more months!? What the hell?" and "it seems too early to tell people." Well I only told you morons because you were chastising me for ordering a virgin drink at brunch!
Anyway, we are doing a formal announcement to family/close friends at 12 weeks. Facebook announcement at 15 or 16. Still nervous about my 2nd ultrasound Monday.

agentvenayhas a separate question. She isn't posting an announcement, but is asking about timing. I think it's a different enough topic to have created a new post.

There's about half a dozen "When are you announcing?" posts from before as well. The topics has been covered a number of ways.

We told his parents and grandparents and my parents and siblings. We are waiting until our 12 week checkup next week Once I hear that everything is still going well and healthy then we will reveal it to everyone.
Our parents and close friends know. I will tell the extended family and other friends after the initial chromosome abnormality test results come back in about a week or two, which would put me at about 12- 13 weeks.

They politely redirected. And as PP states this has been discussed before on other threads.

No one was telling her NOT to post this. It's a perfectly valid question. We pointed out the other thread so that she could see everyone else's responses about it since they're unlikely to post it twice. And lots of people in the other thread shared when they did/plan to announce.
@chitownparent - Sometimes people post a link to be helpful. That way the OP can see and read other comments related to her question as well as what is posted in her thread.
