When do you tell (close) fam you’re pregnant?

Question

This is my third pregnancy and with the first two we waited twelve weeks to tell EVERYONE. But this time we have a couple of things coming up that I think will make it hard for me to keep it from our parents. Did you tell family/ close friends right away?

Answer

#1-3 right away. No reason to wait, even if you have a loss.
#4- I waited as long as possible and still never confirmed to many people. We also chose to keep the gender and name from everyone.

Answer

Whenever you feel comfortable! I told my mum straight away, I couldn’t wait. I told my sisters and best friend a few days later. For mostly everyone else, I announced it on social media at 10 weeks.

Answer

Whenever you feel comfortable. My first I told everyone right away. And again with my second pregnancy but it unfortunately ended in a miscarriage. Then with my third pregnancy, I wanted to just tell our parents and wait to announce to everyone after 12 weeks. But my husbands parents told everyone anyway and it really pissed me off.

Answer

With my first I told around 8-9 weeks. I couldn't keep it in any longer 😅 Not sure what I will do with my second. Might also depend on when I get pregnant.
But I'm usually a Dan of telling some early, because it's a lot to keep to yourself. And should I lose it, I wouldn't be able to keep it to myself anyway.
I usually tell others, do what you are comfortable with.

Answer

I told them right away. I'm really close with my family and don't go long without seeing them. And if I had a loss, I would need my mom and sisters for support. I waited to tell my husbands immediate family though after I got an ultrasound with the heartbeat. And otherwise, told everyone else that we didn't see all the time at 12 weeks
