Sharing your news!

I am curious when you plan on sharing your exciting news with everyone!

When do you plan on telling your parents/the grandparents?

When do you plan on announcing to other family/friends?

My husband and I decided we would wait until our first appointment at 8 weeks when we have the U/S and blood work done at least to tell our parents. Probably closer to 10-12 weeks though. And more than likely wait until 12-14 to tell everyone else. Although I have told 3 close friends already, its hard to not share the exciting news! 😊

I actually shared on Facebook tonight! I shared this early with my son as well. I’m a firm believer in celebrating this little life no matter the outcome!

My son actually had a varicose vein in his umbilical cord and was very high risk so we took it a day at a time and were thankful for each one we had! He’ll be two on October 4th.

We told our parents right away and my best friends know it as well. I'm only 6 weeks and 3 days. I didn't care since I wanted to have the support of my closest people if something were to happen.. :)

But we did tell our mothers and my sister. I would also talk to them if something did happen. I think it would be better to have someone to grief with and talk to. I've been pregnant and had mc before and did not tell anyone, and it was hard to go through it alone and have only my bf to talk to about it. I

Yeah I understand. I would only tell people that I trust and would want to talk to in case we had miscarriage. For example we haven't told my so's father and siblings

I am excited to tell our families, but my mom can not keep a secret and we work at the same place. She also would probably stress me out asking 101 questions. So I am waiting as long as I can before I tell family.

We went to our 7 week Ultrasound and found a little heartbeat! We decided to tell most family and friends yesterday after the ultrasound! Were going to tell all extended family and social media at 12weeks but I believe most everyone we knew found out yesterday!

Im 8 weeks and we haven’t told anyone yet except my husband of course. We have our next ultrasound at 11weeks and I think we are going to tell our family at 13weeks and then announce on Facebook on our anniversary at 14weeks. I’m still a lil worried since our previous pregnancies were miscarriages. However I’ve never gotten past 6 weeks so that’s very exciting that I made it to 8 weeks and have seen the heartbeat twice now!
