Should we announce publicly at 12 weeks or wait until after second ultrasound at 12w+3d?

Question

We are very excited to announce to coworkers and friends on social media, but there’s a part of me that’s worried that we will do that and 3 or 4 days later find out something went wrong. Please help me with this decision!

Answer

12 weeks today and today is also my second scan.. hoping all is well and plan to announce to friends and other family sometime next week!! Hope all goes well with your scan!😊

Answer

I blabbed my big new to my sister and mom the day I found out! I am 12 wks today and everyone important knows the exciting news. We however are not posting anything on FB yet.

Answer

I was in the same position as you a couple of weeks ago and I chose to announce. Thank goodness everything turned out great during NT scan but I would say trust your gut and do what feels right for you. It felt right for me to announce before my second scan and I’m glad I did :)

Answer

We're waiting but you have to do what feels right I think! Our tech gave us a photo after the scan so that'll be nice to include in the announcement or after.

Answer

my NT scan will be at 12+3 and we’re waiting until that scan to announce. it’s hard to wait!

Answer

I didn’t wait that long. My husband was too anxious. I don’t see anything wrong with it and you’re so close. Not a huge deal 😊😊 congrats by the way!

Answer

We’re waiting until after our second scan, but only because it’s near the 12 week mark anyway. I just want to make sure everything is still going well first!

Answer

We waited until about 12 weeks 3 days, just because we got our second ultrasound done that showed a baby instead of a grey dot lol

Answer

Thanks everyone!! I’m going to tell my coworkers at 12 weeks, but we are going to wait until after our 2nd scan to announce publicly on social media! We’ve told family and close friends and my coworkers are a close knit group of preschool teachers, so I think I’ll be fine either way with them. Thanks for all of your help!! ❤️
