When to tell family the good news??

Question

I was just wondering when some of you decided to tell immediate family (parents) the good news? Did you include siblings? Everyone else will definitely get the 3 month mark. I was thinking waiting till 8 weeks, after my first doctor appointment. My husband says we should sooner. I want to tell my parents because my mom would help me with any questions I have. I am also am reluctant at the same time because that small feeling that something could happen. Even though they’d support me through anything. I try to stay optimistic but all these forums really were an eye opener that things happen all too frequently. 
When did you tell immediate family the big news?

Answer

We told after the first ultrasound (8 weeks) because we had a miscarriage before.

Answer

My first appointment and ultrasound was at 9 weeks. After we had our scan we told our parents and siblings. We just told a few more family members just shy of 11 weeks. 
I have an ultrasound with bloodwork 9/4 when I’ll be 12 weeks and after that we’ll tell our best friends

Answer

With each pregnancy I also told as soon as I found out I also had two miscarriages before and I was happy that I didn’t have to go through that process alone or just with my husband. I say tell when you’re comfortable

Answer

I would wait until after a couple doctors appointments before I told anyone. I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks and it’s horrible to have to go back and tell everyone you lost the baby.
