Its gonna vary from person to person, so theres not really any right answer for everyone, just a right answer for you personally.
I (may) have just had my 3rd miscarriage. (Hoping for a miracle friday but it's most likely a miscarriage) and personally I liked telling everyone right away. Sure it ended up having more time telling people we lost our baby, but then it felt like it wasnt only my loss. Like I had so much support from everyone in such a very lonely and heartbreaking time.

Answer

I announced around 20 weeks -after the 20 week scan. Even then I didn’t announce. No social media posts... still none. Just told family and close friends . Just wanted to wait for that main scan to be sure all was ok

Answer

Only close friends and family know (24 weeks 4 days) and dont plan to announce on social media until a couple months after hes born😊

Answer

We did number two personally, but it's up to you!

Answer

I think its personal. After 8 weeks (if heartbeat has been seen/heard) chances are you wont miscarry. After 12 weeks the chances of miscarriage are even lower. I chose to wait until 12 weeks to announce publicly, told my partner once it was confirmed, and told family at about 8-9 weeks due to morning sickness making it hard to hide. I hope to wait until baby is born for future pregnancies though (people close to me can figure it out themself, partner will find out when I get a positive test), I found it too stressful with everyone fussing around me with my son. I had a miscarriage last month and I dont think I could cope if I'd already told people I was pregnant (I was meant to be 8 ish weeks pregnant).
