  I would only tell people that I’d be comfortable telling if I had a loss. I am only 4w3d and I’ve told two friends but only because I was going to be not drinking alcohol when with them. My first u/s is at 7.5 weeks so I’ll tell more people after that.

  7 weeks, my husband and I decide to do a big reveal at our annual Super Bowl party, timing is perfect as that is when I'll be entering second trimester. That said, I called my mom and MIL the day I found out. A couple family members and friends have figured it out as I have not had any drinks at Christmas gatherings. We were open about the fact that we had been trying to have a baby so it's kind of hard to hide it....

  I am with you on this struggle! This is my 3rd pregnancy (MC with 1st and my son is 13 months). I told my husband and 2 close friends (who are also pregnant) pretty much right away bc I was shocked and needed someone to talk to about it! We are planning to tell my immediate family on Christmas Day, but will wait to share news with the rest of the family and other friends until closer to 12 weeks or at least after first ultrasound. Even though I know it’s a bit of a gamble to share the news early, I personally find it is very nice having more support from loved ones (no matter what happens!). I totally say to trust your gut & tell people when you feel ready!!

  I told my immediate family, anyone who I know would love to hear the news. I think like many other people, it is only up for you to decide when you get to share the news. I started telling friends kind of sporadically.

  My husband and my sister know, untill the baby is born I'm probably gonna keep it that way, I have had a few losses before this little one and I'd rather be safe

  I'm 5 weeks, just found out a few days ago. We decided to start telling people right away, but only core people (my parents and sister, closest friends). A lot of people say to keep it quiet during first trimester in case you have a loss, but we wanted to have our main friends know so that we would have a support group from the start if that happens. My friend had a loss 2 years ago and that was what she told me was that she regretted not telling anyone because she felt alone through the grief.
