Announcement

[Baby_Burns]

We're trying to hold off from telling people about our pregnancy since it's our 1st time and I'm only 6 weeks. When  is an okay time to tell people? We have had a few people ask about us trying to get pregnant or if I was but we have been telling them no but seems to be hard to lie to some people.

I told a few people that I felt should know, but I'm waiting until 12 weeks to tell everyone because I'm afraid of losing the baby. It's very common for people to wait. Although one person I regret telling said what I'm doing is wrong and I need to tell everyone now. So rude. But when you do decide to tell people, even the ones you lied to, they should understand why you waited and will be so happy about the news anyway.

We told everyone at 8 weeks. It's all up to you....when you feel ready. Now 21 weeks and getting even more excited!

This is my first pregnancy too.  I'm telling close friends and family. My husband and I don't want to live in fear for 3 months.  Just welcoming positive thoughts no negative. God forbid something happens at least I have those people as support.

Baby burns, I am sending my notices today and im 16 weeks. No one except my parents know, and only because they were living with us. Also our first, and we were just about to give up and go down surgical options at xmas. When ur ready, I lied through my teeth to ppl because I had very bad fatigue and nausea during the 1st trimester. Ppl who I would normally play sport with were asking why arent u here... I was laying on my bed for most of the first 3 months

I told the closest people to me and a couple of trusted people at work when i found out.just incase any5hing happened to me someone knew. Im now 15 weeks and just made it public to everyone. Alot of doctors say the first 12 weeks are the risky weeks and to wait till 12 weeks til your in safe zone but its ultimately up to you

Wait until after 12 weeks at least. Thats what we have done. Although we did tell some close family (parents and grandma)  and couple friends.

[SBoileau]

its typical to wait till after the first trimester, because then you're out of the red and your chances of having the baby go up dramatically. it is extremely hard and my husband and I told our best friends at about the 6 to 8 week mark.

[RippedonScotch]

We waited until 12wks with our friends.  We told our immediate families a little earlier but that was because we had been going through a fertility clinic and they did an ultrasound at 8 wks and said that it was safe to tell everyone it was as if it was 12wks because of the tests they had run.  its not as hard to hide as you may think.  it was just the alcohol that you need to avoid and i just told them I was the DD so hubby had to get to drinking.. LOL

[mommyhails]

I could easily hide my pregnancy though...I worked all of the time and rarely had to be around my family...I did tell my mom right away so if I needed someone to talk to or I was having really bad morning sickness I just hung out at her house. Lol

[Pearl1982]

i told my immediate family right away but for friends and coworkers I waited until I was 12/13 weeks

[mommyhails]

I would wait until after your first trimester...I told close friends and family when I was about 10wks and didn't publicly announce it until I was 15wks

[knufrio]

Its very hard to lie. We told our parents right away but waited on others until our 12 week ultrasound. One of my friends guessed at about 10 weeks but she luckily kept quiet to others until we were ready to tell
