breaking the news

[mrsm815]

I'm 5 weeks pregnant,our first baby,  was hoping to break the news to our immediate family at Christmas. My first OB appt. Is on Jan 5th, our only confirmation so far is a positive urine pregnancy test. Is it too soon to tell our family? Or should we wait until after the first appt?

I am 5+1 and told my family on Christmas. They know it is super early, but are excited. I did the same thing in Oct and ended up having a loss, but my thought process is you share the good and bad with your loved ones. I am not announci g to a wider audience until after 1st Tri.

I'm waiting till my appointment on the 13th Jan to tell my mother and waiting for my first scan for my father a day the rest of my family. My boyfriend and I are trying to keep it quiet till then :) I'm currently 5+4

It's safe to tell people when you are comfortable with having a child. Not every woman miscarries. These are critical times so just be careful. Good luck

I'm 5 weeks and 2 days. I have only told my husband and mother. Not sure when it is "safe" to tell people.

Thanks! That helps! We are going to go ahead and to it! We're too excited,  I guess if it didn't work out we'd have our family's support.

We told my parents earlier this week and I'm 7 weeks today. Planning on telling the rest of my family Christmas Eve. Since they'll all be together it'll be easier.

I will be 6+2 on xmas day and i really want to tell our families with everyone being gathered together but my boyf doesnt want to. He thinks its too early. Im still hoping he'll come round to the idea. The only other person who knows is my sister, I'd explode if i couldnt talk to her about it. X

I will b around 7 wks... I think on Christmas and won't b able to see the Dr. Until the 9th. Have only had positive urine tests as well. I already told my mom and dad cuz I was too excited to not too! I'm still going to b giving the news to my brother and sis in law on Christmas just because I can't wait any longer! Lol I really wish I could have seen a Dr before this but with the holidays and my son turning 12 on the 11th its been really crazy :p I say do what u feel is right :)

I told my mom when i was 4 weeks because i couldn't wait any longer. I told her how far i was and she didnt care she was excited.

I will be 6+2 on Christmas and we are waiting at least a week longer to tell our parents, and are only telling them then because it will be months later that we will be able to see my parents and tell them in person.
