Did you announce your pregnancy right away?

Question

Did you tell your family (or people you spend time with) in the first month of your pregnancy? 
What was the thought behind your decision?
What were some pros and cons of telling/not telling? 
Thanks for sharing! 😊

Answer

I only tell my husband and best friend before 13 weeks. My first I announced at 15 weeks. My next 4 were made public after my miscarriages. My husband and I agreed that any future pregnancies, we will tell parents and siblings at 20 weeks, everyone else will find out a week after delivery.

Answer

Yup we always told as soon as we found out. So 4-6 weeks 🤷🏻‍♀️ I had my son and then 3 miscarriages and then my daughter but we still always announce. We personally don’t see a reason to wait. I had a lot of support with the losses and I think if I was alone I would’ve gone more into depression maybe. But with support, I was able to really move on.

Answer

I’ve lost all three pregnancies but I still think every pregnancy should be celebrated! I’m grateful for the support received by my family.

Answer

I didn't announce with my first 4 miscarriages, I was young and didn't want to be judged. With my last pregnancy I announced to my family as soon as I went to my first appointment. I wanted them to celebrate life with me no matter how short or long. I honestly think it helped me cope when I lost my twins.

Answer

I announced to my coworkers I was good friends with and my fiancé.... 
the way my family found out was I was on FaceTime with my dad and he said my face looked fat and asked if I was pregnant 😂 I couldn’t lie... so I had to say yes and that’s just when I told my sister and mom and grandma.

Answer

I decided to tell my family shortly after finding out, only because I was flying home and wanted to tell them in person. Other than that my mother and father in law know. Waiting longer to tell the rest of his family. 
I say the only con for me telling them so soon is because I’ve miscarried twice and am nervous.
