Would announcing a pregnancy at seven or eight weeks be too early?

I would definitely announce. Hopefully things will proceed normally but if the worst does happen then you’ll have lots of support.

I personally wouldn’t ever announce it early again. I did at 8weeks. 12 week scan went well tests were fine found out we were having a boy at 15weeks then went to 20 week scan and my son had a severe disability so had to have a TFMR with no support other than my partner. for that I will never tell anyone till after 20weeks. A baby can pass at anytime of gestation. So it is totally up to you. Congratulations hope all goes well xx

I think announcing it at an event like your 30th is risky. If anything happened, the memories will be tainted.

My first pregnancy ended at 7 weeks, second ended at 8 weeks. Third resulted in a healthy baby. I remember the feeling being pregnant the first time and being so happy. But now im jaded lol.

I also get worried now when people announce their pregnancies to me before 12 weeks.

If you wait until 12 weeks you can figure out another nice way to surprise everyone.

Hopefully all goes well for you, whatever you choose!

Close family and friends who you would want support from in the event of a loss I would tell. Casual friends and colleagues I would wait until comfortably past 12/13 weeks

It's a completely personal decision and there is no right time. You will want people around you to be excited or to support you 💖 go for it at your birthday if this holds a special place to you 💖 congratulations!

(Trigger warning- I had a missed miscarriage at 17+3 earlier this year, we'd only started telling people at 14 weeks as didn't want to be excited too early but I was so glad I had people around us both to support us)

Depends - i had 3 missed miscarriages varying from 7-12 weeks. I wanted the people who I rely on support to know if it were to happen.

It’s a personal choice, no wrong time if it feels right for you and there is no perfectly “safe” stage of pregnancy anyway. The 12 week scan isn’t a
guarantee that everything will end perfectly anyway so as long as you are mindful that you’d be sharing the bad news (if that did happen) with all of those same people I would say just do what feels right for you.

I would say though be prepared for people to maybe not be as excited as you’d hope by telling them earlier on. We told PIL when I was 7 weeks pregnant with our first baby as my husband was excited to share the news with them and thought they’d be super excited but the only response was an awkward smile and “well we’ll not get too excited yet, anything could happen”🙃

I wouldn’t. It is quite early, and there is still a relatively high risk of loss then.

If wait till the 12 weeks , hopefully nothing happens, but you say you wouldn’t mind people finding out, but you’ve no idea how you’d react if it did,

I’d say Christmas would be the perfect time to tell extended family/friends? I wouldn’t tell anyone before 12 weeks personally, but if you’re not drinking at your own 30th I’d bet most people will guess. Unless you’re teetotal of course. Congrats.

Entirely up to you.
It depends on how many people you want to un-tell, share bad news with should it go wrong.
But then you might also need those people to understand your grief. There is still a risk until the placenta takes over at about 12 weeks.
