Who have you shared your good news with?

Question

Only my husband knows and it's killing me! I want to tell my parents, best friend, his parents, my grandparents, etc. I don't think it should be public knowledge (for us) until 12 weeks, but I want to tell my family now! My two co-workers, two neighbors, and two best friends are all pregnant! I'm dying to shout it from the rooftops that I'm "in the club" with them, too. We're telling our parents this weekend (6 weeks). 
Who have y'all told? Did you tell others right away?

Answer

I told my mother at 6 weeks and she just opened her big mouth and told my grandmother who I specifically told her not too, and grandma told everyone. I was so upset. But I'm 8 weeks tomorrow and everyone is excited. I think the 12 week rule doesn't have to apply to everyone. If you're excited and happy, you can announce when you want. Anything can happen at ANY time in a pregnancy. So as soon as people know there's that chance something could happen, regardless at 6 weeks or at 20+. It's up to you and what you're comfortable with.

Answer

My husband and my mom and sister know.  We weren't going to tell anyone until Feb-March, but my sister knew instantly when I turned down a glass of Asti on Christmas Day, and my mom was standing right next to us 🍾🚫.  I swear nothing ever gets passed them lol

Answer

I just found out yesterday, I'm only 4weeks. My two best friends and my hubby know, that's it. I'll probably be telling my parents soon though. We had a MC at 6 weeks in September so we're being more cautious this time. Telling people you're pregnant is so fun, but telling people you lost the baby is not at all. Good luck!!! Sticky dust to you!!

Answer

We told our parents, siblings and best friends. Waiting for the ultrasound to tell the rest if the world.  We'll probably make an announcement around 9 weeks

Answer

I'd love to tell my mom, but I can't until I'm ready for the whole family to know. Even though we're far apart, secrets spread like wildfire among my kin :). My MIL knows, but only bc it was my first night of being sick and she cornered me and told me to look her in the eye and tell her I wasn't. Nice huh? It was only the day after we found out ourselves! She's hopefully better at keeping her mouth shut. We were really specific with her, and told her that if anything happened she would have to make all the calls. Then again we knew that my SIL was trying from all the hints she dropped...so I guess we'll see.

I told my sister and bff. I trust them completely and lean on them for support. I'm considering telling one other friend. She's a close friend and she has experienced two losses, so I think the extra time to process will be good for her...and if something does happen, I'd want her to know.

Answer

We've told family and a few friends...we're going to tell people slowly now. Only 4 weeks...I don't have my first appt with the OB until March 2 and there's no way I can wait until then!

Answer

I just found out today that I am pregnant and my boyfriend and I were too excited to keep it to ourselves. We told his family and best friends!

Answer

We told our parents and sisters immediately. I imagine we won't make it past 6 weeks without telling our 4 best friends.

Answer

Only my husband and best friend knows.  Will not tell family until I'm 12 wks.  This is my 2nd pregnancy and we did it this same way with our 1st.  I just don't want to put our families through any potential heartache.  It just so happens that our son's 1st birthday is Feb 20th - I'll be 12 wks so that will be the perfect time to share the news with everyone.

Answer

We told everyone that we would tell if I miscarry again....we told parents our siblings and our close friends...they were the same people we told right away before my miscarriage last pregnancy and when I was pregnant with my daughter.
