This was my first pregnancy and although it was a surprise I was so excited that I told my 2 closest friends and my dad the day I found out. I would have been 4.1 weeks.

Some people like to wait until the 3 month mark just to be safe - I'm glad I didn't. It meant that the days when I was really sick with MS I could take the day off and my boss knew why without even asking.

I think next time I will hold off on telling people - just because they are getting as impatient as I am with wanting to meet smudge!!!

With me I found out i was pregnant and called my mother in tears straight away, it was extremely unexpected and I was scared *****less and dp didnt want to talk about it, he needed time to adjust to the thought.. i didnt even know how far along i was yet.. just saw the double lines and rang straight away.. but didnt go around announcing it till after we'd been told for sure

With our first we waited until I was about 10-11 weeks to tell most close friends 0 I was 12 weeks when I told work, although I did tell my boss earlier as I'd had a m/c earlier in the year and wanted her to be aware. We told family pretty much straight away!
With this one - my DH is just beside himself and was telling people before we even knew when I was due! I could have been 2 weeks at that stage! Luckily I was about 7 and a half weeks. We have now pretty much told everyone that is close to us. I think its up to you, I think even if something happens, in a way it's easier if those close to you know as you don't have to explain things - they already know if that makes sense. Good luck!

I told people as soon as i found out, i was 2 months gone anyway and didnt really think not to.

I waited till 20 weeks with my last. For me and for mum who totally hates being told too early because she worries too much!

Hi there!

Congratulations on the baby!!

We were sooooo excited that we had to tell our families, parents, brothers etc.
Its hard to wait given the great news and excitement that you feel and want to share. We have decided to wait the 3mnths for those not so close and of course work can keep on guessing!!!!

[Indadhanu]

I told a few people the first day we tested at 10DPO (my sister and SIL, plus two friends) as they knew when we were testing. We didn't tell anyone else until it was officially confirmed... but I guess we told people pretty early. Everyone (apart from my parents.....) knew by 6 weeks. I told my parents at 8 weeks.

[avanliamsmum]

I told people I was pregnant when I was about 6/7 weeks both times. I just couldn't hold it in!

[Celsie]

We told my parents and a close friend of mine pretty much as soon as the doctor confirmed the pregnancy. Everyone else was told at around 11-12 weeks, just in case something went wrong.

I told my Mum a couple of days after I found out, I was about 4 weeks 2 days. When she asked how late I was, she was like "Oh, ok" She later told me when I reached 7 weeks, she was surprised I had hadn't lost it. I know my Mum and wasn't surprised or hurt by her comment. She had reqently said, back in her day you wouldn't have know you were having an early m/c as you didn't have access to HPT and you would just think you were having a late period. As it was I waited till I was about 6 weeks before going to the DR for confirmation.
We told DH parents after BT confirmation, then siblings at 8 weeks after OB, U"S appointment. Now the rest of the world after the offical 12 week U/S.
I also told a couple of ppl at work, as they ketp commenting how pastey I looked.

I had to tell my work at 4 weeks as the dr thought there was something wrong and admitted me to hospital so was easier to just come out with it rather than lie about why I wasn't at work for a few days. Part of my job involves physical work that the dr doesn't want me doing so that was another reason I told work so early.

Told my bestfriend (and mother of 3) when I was at the hospital as I needed to talk to someone.

Got the all clear today with my 2nd u/s at 6 weeks and 5 days so hubby and I are telling our immediate family tonight as we're too excited to wait and we feel it's wrong that my work and some of his know and our parents don't even have a clue.
If something does go wrong we'd tell our families anyway so at least we will have their support as they will already know.

I'm now PG for the 5th time, with DD I waited until ppl guessed (I was really young)

With my next 3 I told as soon as I fell PG (bad move as I m/c)

This time I have been really worried & only told my DH & Mum. I plan to tell DD next Monday after my 12wk scan if everything is ok & once she knows, then I don't care about the others

[satya]

We told close family at about 8 weeks and friends and close workmates at 12 weeks. I'm now 22w 5d and there's still a number of people at work who don't know I'm pregnant as I have big BB's and my loose clothes drape nicely over my belly even though it's quite sizeable.

[Mel A]

I told everyone, except work. The only reason that I know of not to tell is the possibility of m/c. (and perhaps pay reviews at work.)

We made a choice, since we were a long time TTC, we wanted to share the joy with people. If we were to m/c we would then have fantastic support through the process.

Unfortunatly we did m/c, the support I now have is fantastic. It has made everything so much easier. We had those 5 weeks of joy, happiness, excitement and we got to share it with everyone. It would have been so much harder not to be able to share the sadness because we didn't share the joy.

i told my mum at 12 wks (she said she had no idea, but the next day she said she could tell by my tummy) my dad said he had figured it out. i told dd 14wk and all the grandparents in the last two weeks. i havent really told anyone else yet (i only told dh at 8wks as he was away with work and waited till we were away by ourselves) so i will just wait till ppl comment - although i am surprised no-one has, i have definitely gained and it looks so obvious to me!

I had 2 sisters visiting from overseas at 5 weeks, and one of them guessed because I wasn't drinking wine, and wine is like a family ritual at dinner so I didn't deny it but I promptly told my immediate family right away. Actually, I was going to tell them because it was a rare opportunity to have my sisters here with me. It was good I told them because they wanted to go on a big hike and I didn't want to over exert myself.

I am now waiting until after the nuchal scan to tell friends. I think one of my couple friends has guessed (again with the no alcohol drinking) but they're respecting my decision to wait to announce it. I don't think anyone else knows, but I work standing up most of the day and sometimes I want to tell the people I work with so they'll give me some sympathy and be nice to me

[Mez80]

I couldnt wait to tell people and everyone i am close to went through the IVF journey with me so i told them just after receiving the good news from the fertility clinic. I figured that if something went wrong i would want their support and understanding neways... but everyone is different BIG congratulations!!! Enjoy ur pregnancy.
