Whens it safe to start telling people?

Hi, I'm 11wks an 5days, obviously I have told close friends and family. But my childs father is desperate to put the 12wk scan picture on facebook next week. I'm not so sure, I'd rather wait. I'm only 18 and it's my first pregnancy, I'm so scared something will happen to my baby :/ when did you tell everyone? Is 12wks too early? Rach x

Thank you everyone. I think i'll wait until the new year. Then I'll be 14-15 weeks. Just have to try and convince my childs father to be patient!  Rach :) x

I'm also 18, I felt the same way as you. I announced it on social networks at 19w, when we found out the gender.. Only our parents new and a few close friends.

Most people wait until 13 weeks because that's the second trimester.
