When can I start telling people?

Question

I think I’m pregnant (two faint line pregnancy tests today). Will retest in couple of days.
If I am, my husband wants to start telling people. I’m hesitant and would like to wait until 3 month scan incase of miscarriage/abnormalities. 
Would like advice please. Thanks in advance.

Answer

just remembered, who ever you tell your pregnant you also have to tell if something happens.
I told close family and friends because I'd tell them anyways if something happened. Everyone else was 20 weeks after my anatomy scan.

Answer

Whenever you feel comfortable! Some people want the extra support of close friends or family in case the worst happens. Some people want to stay quiet and that's perfectly valid too. It sounds like you and your husband need to have a conversation and decide what works best for both of you. Tell him your honest feelings and listen to his and see if you can find some middle ground, I'm imagining he's so excited he just wants to shout it from the roof tops. Congrats on your pregnancy!

Answer

My close work friends have always confided in me pretty early—helps to have someone on CYA/deflection duty.  :-)  If God forbid something should happen, it may also help to have someone to share the emotional burden with.  
But I agree, ultimately it’s about whatever makes you feel comfortable.

Answer

I waited for 12 weeks for both my pregnancies, even to tell parents.
This time I will probably tell sooner. It’s a hard secret to keep!!

Answer

Whenever you feel comfortable, but do know that a lot can happen in the first trimester. That being said, I wanted to wait 8 weeks to tell close family, and I literally told them and then the day after had a MC. Was awful! This time, when I get my BFP, I am telling close family (parents) and my best friend immediately. If a MC happens again, then at least they shared the joy for a bit. The rest I will tell after first trimester.

Answer

first pregnancy  we told our families at 5 weeks and had to undo all the telling  at 8.  we decided that if and when we do again we want to keep it to ourselves for the first tri. I'm sure they'll be impossible though

Answer

We told our parents right away because they knew we were struggling to conceive. When I say right away I mean around 5 weeks when my tests were very dark. We didn't tell anyone else until after 20 weeks because I started to bleed at 6 weeks and we were told they couldn't say if things would be ok or not so we decided to wait until after my big scan. It's totally up to you both, make sure that you don't do anything you aren't comfortable with because you can't take it back and you don't want any extra stress or pressure. I'm sure if others had know abouy the pregnancy when I started bleeding it probably would have made it all feel even more stressful and upsetting.
