So I just tested positive on a home pregnancy test! I am really excited with this being my first one. I made a doctors appointment and it is not until June 17th! It's killing me!! Lol but my question is when do you tell your family? Is 10 weeks too soon???

I would wait until your first appointment and then share! Just to be sure they hear your baby's heartbeat. Congrats!

Congratulations! We told my mother in law right after our first ultrasound,  on her birthday since she has been asking for a grandest since the first time she met me. I just told my mom and sister at 10 weeks because I wanted to tell them in person. I am waiting til at least 12 weeks make the announcement publicly.

We didn't share until after the first appointment but it's really up to you. I agree waiting for the first appointment is nerve wrecking!
