when to tell people

How far along is a good time to tell people your expecting. I'm only eight weeks but feel after the first trimester is best due to viability. When did you all tell?

The 14th week is the "I'm officially pregnant" week. So I would wait till then cause chances of miscarriage are still pretty high before then.

We waited until I was 12 weeks pregnant to tell family and friends although my mom, dad, and two sisters knew sooner because I went to the hospital because I thought I miscarried. So because of that we waited until 12 weeks to tell everyone else. I didn't even get to hear her heart beat until 16 weeks.
