When to tell family?

Question

I'm 12 DPO and getting stronger positives every time I test. I've already told hubby but my question is when do y'all plan on telling close family? I'm talkin just parents and siblings. I can't imagine waiting until week 12 but that's what it said when I googled the best time to tell people. I definitely don't plan on telling other people until later, but I want to tell my family sooner. But I know the chance of miscarriage is still pretty high before week 12...
I know it's just personal preference,  but I just wanted to hear what other people are doing.

Answer

I had a stillborn with my first pregnancy, so with my second, I told my parents and brother when I found out. But with extended family and friends, I waited until later in my second trimester. Unfortunately there is no safe zone in pregnancy, so it’s truly personal preference of when you want to tell people.

Answer

We tell our kids and parents at 13 weeks, followed by siblings and aunts/uncles. We tell friends weeks after that.

Answer

My husband and I told our parents and siblings at 15w. It’s completely just up to your preferences. We wanted to enjoy it on our own. And I am very anxious so I didn’t want to say anything too soon, and I also didn’t want the pressures of everyone’s opinions too early, or gender guesses and all that. So we waiting until after we had our early anatomy scan and found out that baby’s was healthy and that we were having a boy, and then we announced to them.
