June 2016 Moms

When to tell?

I'm due on June 2, and am about 5 weeks and 4 days along. My confirmation appointment is next Friday. I was just wondering when everyone told the big news? How many weeks were you? I'm definitely going to wait until after the confirmation appointment, but I told after 8 weeks with my first baby. Curious to see what you all recommend :)

Re: When to tell?

  • This is our second...we basically already told family & very close friends. I'll probably wait until 12 weeks to be really out there on social media.

  • We announced on Facebook already. I feel like if a loss happens, maybe I can normalize and bring women out of hiding that feel like they must suffer in silence.

  • We told our parents and siblings. No one at work for as long as possible, because they have been bugging me about being pregnant for months and just last month I made a big stink about it...
  • In telling parents this weekend at 5 weeks. Maybe my brother in law. The remainder close will have to wait till 8 week appointment. The rest of the world 12 weeks!
  • I'm 5 weeks and 3 days.  I told my mom, sister and best friend and H told his mom and brother.  Other than that, its just you ladies.  I am thinking of telling a few other friends after our 8 week appointment but not making it general knowledge among friends until we are past the first trimester.   
  • I'm telling most of my family this week and then any friends that ask (I won't lie about it). I'll probably wait til we know the sex in January to announce on FB but I might let it slip after 12 weeks on Instagram.

    ^ Exactly this for us, too.  We also asked everyone we
    did tell not to mention it on Facebook.  That darn FB is such a bother.

  • This is our 3rd baby, 4th pregnancy. We found out that we lost number 3 after going in for our 12 week scan. We unknowingly lost the baby at 8 weeks. That said, I had told more people than I should have because I had to re-tell to many that I had lost. It was nice to have my close friends and family there to support my husband and I, but going forward, that is all I will tell.

    This pregnancy I will tell my "support system" and immediate family in the next week or two. I will not tell the rest of the world until after 12 weeks and I've seen a healthy baby on ultrasound!

  • This is my 4th baby and 6th pregnancy. We won't announce until 12 weeks. My girls would be so heartbroken now if they found out and we lost muffin.

  • We told my parents right away. I need my mom if something happens. We are telling DH's family and our siblings this weekend at 6 weeks. We will facebook announce around Thanksgiving when I'll be around 12 weeks.

    I didn't even think about that, but you're right! We'll be 12 weeks right around Thanksgiving. We always have a HUGE family gathering with DH's side. I'll tell the extended family then!
