I found out Saturday... I told my husband Sunday morning... we told my parents and my brother/ his gf on Sunday afternoon. We will tell his parents and sister next week.My close friends will know in the next couple of weeks.These are all people that I would rely on for support if something was to happen to this pregnancy and I want them to enjoy every step of the way with us.I’ve learned from my close friends pregnancies that there is no “safe zone” in pregnancy. I have had many friends have early miscarriages, late miscarriages and even had a friend with a still born. I don’t believe in waiting..Tell when you feel it’s right.
When to announce pregnancy?
I know it’s completely a personal choice. But I’m curious when everyone made their announcement or when you think is the best time? I’ll be 7 weeks tomorrow and should be having my first ultrasound sometime this week, my plan was to only tell immediate family until I had my first ultrasound, but apparently everyone was too excited to keep quiet and now way more people know than I originally wanted. I’ve been having some spotting and I’m absolutely terrified that I’m going to miscarry, I just have this bad gut feeling about it. I want so badly to be excited but I’m really not at this point. My boyfriend really wants to tell his friends and other family members, but I’m just not ready for it. Im really not sure what to do.

I told my husband right away of course, told a few close friends that knew we were struggling right away. We told his parents around 7 weeks but I didn't tell mind until 13 weeks. We had a miscarriage earlier in the year and I told my parents at 6 weeks and my mom told anyone and everyone she could and was really unhelpful during the miscarriage so we wanted to wait and tell her last.
We didn’t tell family until after my first ultrasound at 11 weeks. By the time we told them I was 12 weeks. We started telling close friends the next week. My MIL took it upon herself to tell a bunch of people too, so more people found out sooner than we really wanted. We made a public (Facebook/Instagram) announcement when I was 18 weeks.
I told close family right away. We told close friends around 6-7 weeks. We told the rest of friends and family at 10ish weeks and told social media at 12 weeks after my ultrasound. My opinion is you can tell whoever you feel comfortable telling if you miscarried. My friend announced to everybody literally the day after she tested positive. I was shocked, but to each her own. Then she just recently posted on social media that she miscarried her baby, literally that day. I could never do that (I'm a private person, so that's just me) but you do what you feel comfortable with.
Er
*literally that day, meaning she posted she miscarried that day. She didn't miscarry right after testing positive. I think she was 7 weeks (definitely not saying that to scare you).
According to the app I'm 5 weeks today 😁 I'm going to the doctor today to confirm this. I am going to be telling my mom this coming saturday and his parents on the 15th when they get back home, so I'll be 6 and 7 weeks when I announce. I'm not publicly announcing until I have to (when I'm bigger).
