When are you telling siblings / parents

Question

Hi loves, my sister knows I’ve been trying sooo I feel guilty not telling her !! Also she was the first to know with my first at like 6 weeks! I think I told my mom at 7 or 8 weeks last time but I want to tell her like literally now bc she’s my rock why wouldn’t I? When are you telling your siblings, parents or bestfriends? I’m 5 weeks. I just feel I want to tell who I would want to support me.

Answer

My parents knew the day I tested. I lost my first pregnancy at 15 weeks, so nothing is guaranteed in my mind. My siblings knew that day as well. The rest of my family, I want to wait until after sono so I can do a group text of a picture.

Answer

I would tell the important folks right away!  My husband and I didn't get to announce to anyone before I miscarried my first pregnancy.  That put into perspective that you never know what could happen and I'd really love support for next time.  I hated having to tell my mom I was miscarrying when she didn't even know I was pregnant.  The sooner they know, the more time your baby will be loved and celebrated 💖

Answer

We told our siblings and parents a few days after I got my BFP. We figured that if something did go wrong we would want our family there supporting us. We haven’t really told anyone else yet. I’m 8 weeks 4 days at the moment

Answer

I told my family right after my first appointment at 7 weeks, but I don’t see any issue with telling your family sooner if you want support.

Answer

We told our parents at 10 weeks since our last 3 miscarriages had been really hard for them. We wanted to make sure doctors told us everything was looking good first before sharing news with them.

Answer

My best friends knew the second I got my positive. I’m waiting until after my first ultrasound to tell both mine and hubbys family (7/8 weeks)
I did tell them straight away with my first pregnancy but this time I honestly want to wait because I can not be bothered dealing with the whole “I hope it’s a girl” they’ll both push on me. Don’t need that honestly, like it is what is it.

Answer

I told my mum at 6 weeks, I just needed someone else who knew. Keeping it a secret was too much stress for me (I'm appalling at keeping secrets) 
We're 7+3 and we haven't told anyone else yet we're waiting till 12 weeks.
My thought is would I tell them I had a miscarriage if the answers yes then it doesn't hurt telling them early

Answer

I never told family or friends of my pregnancies until after the baby was born. This is the first pregnancy where I feel I will need help, so I told my parents and siblings--at the same time--when I found out at 6 weeks. But if I didn't need their help, I would not have said anything. Surprisingly, my parents and siblings are excited that they are well aware because they have been wanting to help and are happy I finally am allowing them to help.
