I've never been able to officially announce as I've lost all of mine at 6 weeks. Probably because of my own experience, and also of being on BB so long, I would announce as soon as I got the positive HPT. The way I see it, the odds aren't in favour of me having a live baby, so I want to celebrate the time we have, and I want the support if it ends, y'know?

That's what I always tell people, because sadly the reality is, 12 weeks isn't 'safe'. At the end of the day though, how do you feel about it? Would you prefer to tell people now, and then possibly share bad news later? If bub stops growing before your 'date', would you tell people that you had miscarried? I always found it hard to say I had miscarried when they didn't know I was pregnant.
