When to announce to the family (parents and in-laws)

Question

I am in dilemma. Only my husband knows. I live abroad and only way to tell my family is online. It’s hard not to tell😞

Answer

With both of my pregnancies I’ve told immediate family and close friends almost immediately. I would need their support if something was to happen... so I wouldn’t want them to mourn a pregnancy with me that they never had the chance to celebrate.  I don’t make it “public” until after the first trimester. I’m almost 15 weeks and still haven’t officially announced.

Answer

Thank you all. I just could not resist and told my mom today. She was over the moon. I am sad cuz I could not tell her in person, hug her and see her smiling ( and her happy tears) She said can’t wait to fly to states. I am just praying this covid -19 situation gets over soon.

Answer

We do/did immediate family right after the first ultrasound and did the big announcement to other friends and family after the first trimester:)

Answer

I'm stuck on this one. What is the reason to not tell people you are pregnant? I understand young children who can't comprehend miscarriage. However, I know the only thing I wanted after my miscarriage was support and to not feel alone. I believe if people know you are pregnant they can offer you support for your pregnancy from the beginning or offer you support in the event that the pregnancy is lost.

Answer

I’m telling after my genetic testing to make sure everything is ok.
