When is it safe to Announce Pregnancy?!
k88m

I'm 11w2d and had my first ultrasound yesterday. Baby was very active and heartbeat was 165.
Is it safe to share the news of our pregnancy now? Or should I wait until my 12 week physical with my doctor to share? I won't see another u/s until week 18ish. No previous miscarriages, under 30 y/o.
Still have that fear something bad could happen but I know that after seeing the heartbeat the chance of m/s goes down significantly. Just want to be safe
Appreciate any feedback!

Re: When is it safe to Announce Pregnancy?!
1) A lot of people wait until 12 weeks to announce. I announced after our first ultrasound. Mostly because I couldn’t contain myself any longer.
2) You should change your screen name so we can tag you easier and get to know you a little better. There’s a lot of knotties running around.
3) if you haven’t yet, check out the intro thread and tell us a little about yourself.
4) hope you have a happy and healthy pregnancy

If you scrolled down, you will see there is a very long thread full of when and how members here plan on announcing. Read it. You will be able to crowdsourcing your own answer. Then take some time to read the pinned posts.
I see what you did there...
