I just found out I'm pregnant -probably about 3 weeks now- and I'm wondering when I should announce it. This is my first, but I already know that once I announce, people will be asking me about it all the time and there's no going back.

I'm definitely telling my mom soon because I'm close to her and would want to talk to her all about the pregnancy. As for other family and social media, I'm just not sure when to announce.

We've been trying for a year and a half so we are definitely excited about it! Just nervous at the same time.

Has anyone regretted announcing too early and wished they waited? What's it truly like after the secret is out?

*UPDATE*

I ended up miscarrying on November 26 at 5w2d. 😞 I had planned on telling my mom on her birthday which was only a few days away. I ended up telling her what happened because I needed support. I'm glad I didn't announce though, because I don't think I could have handled so many looks of pity and people constantly asking me about the miscarriage and how I'm handling it. I'm more of a private person. I'm not ashamed of it, but I hate crying in front of people and there would be a lot of that if more people knew.

I'm hoping to conceive again soon.
