when did you tell others you were pregnant?

This is my first time being pregnant and we are 10 weeks today. We heard the heart beat last week Friday and got our first ultrasound Monday. I cried seeing our little peanut move about. The lady doing the ultrasound said everything looked perfect and the heart beat was good. When did everyone tell their family and friends that they were expecting? Would it be best to wait until 12 weeks? I am just so excited!

We told everyone right away. I was I believe 5 weeks but I thought I was 7 weeks. Our second child had passed away at 9 days old from encephalocele after being born at 31 weeks 5 days. We told our families and church family so they would all know why we were so jittery and nervous. Also if we had miscarried they would understand why we were grieving.

We told everyone in the family at about 8-9 weeks. I'm a ftm too and I had someone tell me something that really changed my mind about when to say something. I asked if she thought I should wait to tell everyone til the 2nd trimester in case of miscarriage. Her response was, "tell them whenever. You enjoy every minute of this bc even in the second and third trimester something unfortunate can happen. also, if something does happen, everyone is allowed to grieve." She was right. We told our parents at Christmas, and friends after Jan 1st. Good luck to you sweetie!

I'm in the same boat. My partner and I told our close family but that's it. I'm paranoid that I will have a miscarriage so don't want to tell friends etc until after my scan on the 19th but dying to announce to the world that I'm expecting as been wanting another for years. Just announce when the time feels right for you and all the best on your pregnancy!

We told immediate family at around 6 weeks (my stepdad is also my boss), hence why we did it so early and it was the only time everyone would be together. They were also yhe kind of people who wouldn't tell a soul, so we were ok to tell them. Everyone else found out when we were 12 weeks along.

We didn't tell anyone until the 2nd trimester. This is my 4th pregnancy. Told ppl about the first 2 when we found out and miscarried both times.

We told some family and close friends at 6-8 weeks. Most people know now but I'm 14 and still need to tell my boss
