When did you mention your pregnancy?

For my first I posted when we found out, for my second I waited until the blood test came back telling us the gender so we could just kill two birds with one stone and announce it all at once.

Many people wait to announce the pregnancy until they are out of the first trimester. I told people I was close to as soon as I found out, and the general public when I started to show. If the tragedy of a miscarriage happens, it is good that everyone close to you knows what you are going through.

I didn’t share until I was 20 weeks♥️ but I told immediate family at 16 weeks over brunch!

I did around 14 weeks, I wanted to wait until I was out of the first trimester and then procrastinated a little more.

My first one I told everyone right away. My second one I was a couple months, my third one I didn’t really tell anyone until I was 7 months. Lol

As soon as I found out. Regardless if something happened or not my baby is worth being loved by as many people as possible!

Whenever you want, I dont believe its ever too early. I waited until I knew the gender all 3 times. Its just my prefrence, I have a paranoia for miscarriages, even though I have never had one. I also like it being our own little secret for us to enjoy

At least 10 weeks that how long I waited to post and tell people besides immediate family.

I’m currently 11wks we told parents and siblings first in case it wasn’t viable we would have our support network (I had two previous ectopic pregnancies after two successful ones) We only just started telling other family and close friends and haven’t made a big Facebook announcement really just low key and letting those who comment asking me that I am. Really whenever YOU feel ready is right

14 weeks is a good time. At that point, the chance of miscarriage is lower.

If it is your first. Soon as you want …but if you had some miscarriage or mistaken pregnancy I would wait!

I’ve always heard to wait until 13 weeks because before that, the chances of miscarriage are higher.

Currently 15 weeks. We announced after an all clear at our 12 week appt.

Wives tale to wait at least 12 wks

It’s whatever makes you comfortable. There is no rule. If you want to share your excitement, go for it!
Congratulations :tada:

i wait till people start asking if i am getting fat again. then i tell them nope just pregnant

I waited until I knew the risk of miscarriage was down

Looks like you’re already posting it right now. Just saying

Almost right away with my first two(2009&2011). My 3rd after 10 weeks(2019)… besides I told my mom and job #1 that I was pregnant. (I was working two jobs)

There is no such thing as too early. I have shared every pregnancy as soon as I’ve found out which has always been just before 3 weeks along. Some of those announcements have been followed by announcements of loss including a second term loss. It’s easier to cope with a loss when you aren’t hiding it and aren’t alone. It also makes it more special when you get to announce your rainbow baby and celebrate with those you love and who love you.

I’m 10 weeks but all my family found out at about 6 weeks I have no friends to tell :joy: but it’s not on Facebook untill I feel ready

I believe I was 10 weeks when I announced. It’s recommended that you wait, in case of a miscarriage, but I wanted the support of my friends and family if that had occurred.

I told people at about 9 weeks. I miscarried at 8 not knowing and it didnt come put till 12. Wait as long as you can.

I was 21 weeks. I waited until we found out the gender to post online but immediate family knew and close friends

I declared mine once I had her :rofl:

I usually waited 12 weeks but when I was pregnant with my daughter I told everyone at about 9 weeks because I was always throwing up and I couldn’t hide it from anyone. Tell people of your excited there is no magic number. Spread the good news because if something bad was to happen you would have people to lean on. I’m glade I told close family because I lost my daughter at 16 weeks

It’s really a personal decision. We announced early and miscarried. I’m not one to keep secrets so it would have come out regardless. I had lots of support after the miscarriages.

Told my family at 5 weeks and facebook at 12. I was way to excited to wait. I had to tell my work early at 5 weeks as well because they had me in the covid quarantine section so I told them so I would be safe

My pregnancy wasn’t confirmed by a doctor until I was 16 weeks… made my decision easy. I think waiting until after the first trimester is usually the best decision

Usually recommended to wait a full 12-14 weeks to announce. Once fully in second trimester, miscarriage risks drop significantly

Right away with all 3. If I lost them then I feel like at least I would have more support. The idea of waiting is for what? So if you miscarry nobody has to know?
