When did you tell family?

My mom has been impatiently awaiting a grandchild since my hubby and I got married 4 years ago. I'm anxious to tell her we're expecting, but I'm less than 5 weeks and if something goes wrong, I hate to get her hopes up. Did you tell your parents/grandparents right away or wait until 12 weeks?

I told st 6 weeks. If something would have happened, I would have wanted my mom's support.

We told family right away! I'm now 13.5 weeks and if something happened early we felt like we wanted their support

Tell her now. No matter what happens, she'll want to know. Remember, you are her baby!

My and my husband's parents all knew within the hour of that positive test. We've been waiting way too long for that positive! My brother and his fiancee also know, but I think my husband wants to wait for my first doctor visit to tell his siblings.

I told my family after it was confirmed via ultrasound. About 6 weeks.
