Curious to know when everyone is planning to tell their friends and family about their pregnancies.
We found out 2 weeks ago and haven’t told anyone yet. I will only be telling my sister at Easter because we will be seeing her and I want to do it in person (we live 9 hours’ drive from each other). I will be 7w3d then. I have to stop myself from just calling her to spill the beans EVERY. DAY.
The rest of our family and close friends will get the news after our first prenatal.
Everyone else way after the 1st trimester, thinking between week 15 and 20.
I haven’t given it a single thought as you can tell 😂
What about you?
Re: When are you announcing?
I HAD to share my pregnancy with some people at work for safety reasons. I filed a Declared Pregnant Worker form on 3/28 with my lab's medical office so my boss and the three safety officers (radiological, chemical, and bio) all know. They assessed what I work with and we made a couple adjustments for fetal safety. The rest of my co-workers still don't know.
I'll probably do a wider announcement to more family, friends, and co-workers near the end of the first trimester.
I am visiting my brother this week and gifting him an uncle gift. I wasn't sure I would be able to tell him in person and I'm so grateful to be able to. My partner wants an ultrasound before telling his siblings.
I think everyone will know .. later? I don't really have a target date for that but I'm sure it'll feel right one day to share. Or it won't and I won't
I waited to talk to my mom for about a week after we got our BFP because I was nervous I wouldn't be able to not tell her...but now I've gotten through that and we've had our first social outing with family and have been able to keep it quiet, so we're enjoying our secret for now!
I've told one close friend, and we're planning on telling his family on my MIL's birthday, which is just about exactly 12 weeks. Everyone else will be sometime after that. It's been harder than expected keeping it to ourselves!
As for all of my other family to include the grandparents I'm waiting till I'm 7 months pregnant due to more personal reasons. But my support group who has helped me through my 3 previous MC all know and are rooting for me. I'm leaning on this mom group and my cousin for support.
This is our first pregnancy.
