We have always said we wouldn't tell anyone till 12 wks. I'm 10.5 weeks now and I have only told my best friend as she has just had a baby so I needed to relate to her experiences. I agree with a lot of you, I would like my parents to know in case something went wrong but I recently had a friend m/c who had told everyone and she then had to deal with all their emotions too so that made me want to keep it quiet. Also when I tell I want to be able to tell everyone and for them to tbe able to tell people too. My Mum is going to kill me though! She keeps saying "so no more goss?" I just think you are going to die when I tell you my goss, as no one even knew we were trying. So it will be a real surprise.
Now I cant decide whether to tell on Fathers Day when I'm 12 weeks or wait till after my scan a couple of days later..

I told everyone as soon as I found out. Then I got caned because I had. People started piling all their horrid miscarriage stories on to me and I felt awful that I had let the cat out of the bag.
But I have my little boy now so it turned out alright. I don't think I'd tell people so soon again though. Dunno why. Just the negativity that I was met with I suppose. I'll keep that little secret next time.

We decided we'd wait until 8 weeks....we were going to wait until 12 weeks, but thats sooooo far away (Im 5 weeks and 3 days).
Then we booked in for our first Ob/Gyn visit and thats at 9 weeks and 3 days, so we decided that the weekend after that we'll traipse around and visit all our family and friends with a little picture to show them!
The wait is driving me crazy though!

We told our immediate family as soon as we found out and told them to keep it quite. We then told everyone else as soon as I hit the 12 week mark. Most people (mainly women who had been pregnant before) had already guessed.
We will do the same with our new pregnancy.

I have only told my best friend for now. My sister is in hospital after a pretty bad car accident and i didn't want to tell her or my family because i feel if i do then the attention will be taken away from her and i would feel guilty for that. I think we will probs wait until she gets home to tell everyone. We are still considering not letting everyone know until after the 14 week mark as we lost our angel bub then. I really think it is a personal choice some people like to tell everyone straight away becasue they are so excited and other would prefer to keep it quiet. As long as your happy thats all that matters:)

I told my closest friends and of course my fiance but nobody else Im not telling until 13 weeks!!

Congratulations 2 please on your pregnancy! DP and I were so excited that we were just trying for a baby we'd tell anyone who'd listen so when I fell pregnant the following cycle we told everyone straight away. I think you would be more than fine to go ahead and share your happy news with your friends and family now.

I have told lots of people early on like as soon as I knew. I am quite a chatty person and it is hard to keep it inside but also having had miscarriages it is nice to have people to talk to and support you. People then understand why you are a bit off and are more sensitive to you. People don't wonder why you aren't having a beer after work or why you are tired or running to the loo.
This time I have told family close friends and my bible study ladies.
-
we told immediate family straight away, and some very close friends, But, we told them not to tell anyone.... and they didnt keep it a secret unfortunatly.
So, next time, i dont want to tell anyone till after the 12week scan.

Debbie, I know what you mean. The same happened to me too. I dont think they expected me to miscarry after such a healthy baby. Oh well, I am soo happy this baby is ok. I get to find out the babies gender for sure tomorrow. Its the next thing on the list you wanna do after you know the babies ok.
