How soon did you tell people you were pg?

We told our family and friends a lot sooner with no 1 but with no 2 I'm keen to hold off. DH has already caved and told his best mate

With dd1 I told my mum when I was 9 weeks, we'd just found out the day before, and the rest of the family were told just after that as we saw them etc.

With dd2 we didn't tell anyone until I was 22 weeks

last time round we had a scan at 9 weeks and told everyone after that.

i am 6 weeks at the moment and haven't told anyone but i'm a lot bigger this time round and i have already seen friends looking at me trying to decide if i'm pregnant or just putting on weight!

we are off on holiday in 2 weeks time with my step-children & staying at a theme park place in holland. i wont be able to go on the rides or water slides so i think we might have to tell them on holiday. ideally i would have like to have a scan before saying anything - just in case.

I think I'm going to wait til 12 weeks before telling anyone

about 13 weeks with DS1. I was 8 weeks when we got married so didn't want anyone to know before that then, my sister lost her baby at 30 weeks so we held off telling our news for a bit longer
With DS2 we told everyone more or less immediately as it was Christmas and I wasn't drinking - also everyone expected me to be pregnant again.
This time - I am 11 weeks and just told my Mum and Dad this morning!

Told parents at 8 weeks, everyone else after 12 week scan.
Had to tell work as soon as I found out though - as I found out the day before my 6 month probation (to be made permanent) interview

Pretty much told everyone as soon as I found out with all three. With DS1 I planned on telling work as late as possible, but had problems so had to tell them at about 10 weeks {I had to go to hospital and then was signed off for 2 weeks after) With the other pgs I just told them ASAP, so we could do a risk assessment and I could drop the physical parts of my work.

I did have a m/c, and it was hard having to tell people I'd lost the baby, but it would have been harder for me to have to hide the fact I was so upset. It was nice to have a big circle of sympathetic people.

Dr. left a messege on my mums answer phone about my medication during pregnany, so I never crossed that bridge. Then my mum told my college (and got me booted out ) so I dont thikn I had to tell anyone! Usually its 12 weeks - past danger period.

*think

I told my parents, in-laws and my close friend when i was about 1 month i think, then i started telling everyone after the danger period!

With 1st PG: Told family at 6wks (we were back in the UK so waited to say it face to face), told everyone else at 16wks.

This time will be telling family at 5wks (off to the UK again this weekend!) and friends a bit sooner than last time - probably 12wks, tho if I feel knackered and need help with DD, then I might tell some closer friends earlier.

Told my 2 best friends straight away, waited to tell family and other friends till 12 weeks. Told my mum in the foyer of Tate Modern

with dd I told a couple of friends immediately but waited until I was about 14 weeks to tell my mum and rest of the family and 20 weeks to tell dh's parents.

With ds i told work at about 10 weeks and a girl on my team told my mum when she rang for me one morning that I'd gone to the hospital for a scan so she found out at about 12 weeks. Everyone else knew about that sort of time.

Told Mum straight away, 2 BFs a week later, and waiting 'til after 12 week scan to tell everyone else.

I know what you mean about not understanding why people wait Thalia, but we took that decision as one of my friends rang everyone she knew the day after her BFP, and then her DH had to make hundreds of horrible phone-calls a week later when she MCed.

Got a good feeling about my bean. He's making me sick as a dog, so the least he can do is be good and healthy.

i told close mates at 5 1/2 weeks, i was offered potent daquiri's and had to break it to my friend that i just couldnt drink it. our mates know we've been trying - so i couldnt have hid it from them for long. not sure when to tell family, i miscarried at 7 weeks last pg and still no family know about it. Dad is coming to visit next week and i just know he'll want a few wines at dinner and i'll have to refuse (which is very unlike me!) still don't know if i want to tell him yet,
this is agonising!!!! im still so worried i might MC again that im trying not to get too excited about it, maybe after my 1st ultra sound, whens the soonest i can ask for one of those?

Not till 12 week scan gave all clear. Had a missed misscariage last time and was soooo glad I didn't have to go through the process of remembering who had been told and calling off the hounds!
