When is it safe to tell others you are pregnant?

When do you feel is comfortable or safe to tell people you’re pregnant? I’m 10 weeks 4 days. I was gonna wait until we know the gender from genetic testing but that’s gonna be a few more weeks. I’m nervous too because 1) I’ve experienced 4 losses and 2) it’s my 4th child and my family is going to be the opposite of supportive

Once in the second trimester… I announced early once and ended up miscarrying. Had to answer a million questions from family and friends. The reminder sucked…

This is entirely personal. Some people announce immediately , some people wait until the second trimester or even 20 weeks.
For me personally I wait until 15 weeks. BUT there’s nothing wrong with sharing the news sooner if you feel ready to, or later if you don’t want any outside negativity .

Normally 16-18 weeks is a good time for most people you may even know the gender at this time yet a loss can happen at any time

There’s honestly never a “safe time” to announce you are pregnant. There’s always that risk of something happening. Some people like to announce immediately, some like to wait until after the first ultrasound, some wait until after the first trimester, and some wait until the baby is born. With my first, I announced after my first ultrasound at like 7/8 weeks. I was so excited and couldn’t wait. With my middle and youngest, we waited until the first trimester was over + multiple ultrasounds were done to make sure my babes hearts were beating still. If I have/had a fourth, I’d wait as long as I could to share lol

I hope your family will be supportive. There’s nothing better or more precious than a baby.

If you k own your family is un supportive don’t say anything as time goes by it will show.

Wait until 12 weeks is my opinion and what I did

I told people after 1st scan with last but others was before as is never really safe time. I think every baby should be known even A loss. I only waited with last as I was shocked I was pregnant myself and doing it alone.
