Who and when did you tell?

[Sleepyhoglet]

I feel like I have been pregnant for ages. I haven't at all in fact I'm only 7 weeks! My dh know but no one else. Would it be so bad to tell my mil? I'm closer to her than my DM. Obviously other friends would have to wait till past 12 weeks.

I'm 10 weeks with our first, and so far have told my parents, in laws and sisters. We went on a really big family holiday at Easter with lots of aunts, uncles and cousins, so needed help to hide my non-drinking. I've also been feeling rubbish with morning sickness etc, and its been lovely to be able to talk to my mum about it. The people I've told are all people I would want to know if I miscarried for support - we're a close family and I'm really glad I told them.

I think its totally down to the individual really - I totally see why some people keep it a secret, and why others want to tell everyone as soon as they get their BFP.

I told my parents when I found out. Work management soon afterwards due to the nature of my role. My in-laws after my 12 week scan.
The rest of my colleagues and some friends/extended family were told after my 20 week scan.
Lots of people still don't know and I'm 26 weeks now!
This is a much longed for second pregnancy and in an ideal world I'd be waiting to announce the birth rather than the pregnancy!!

Just told my parents after reassurance scan, dated me 6+4 with strong heartbeat. Couldn't wait any longer to tell them!!!

My colleagues all know now (18 weeks), it's nice - I work in a school with mostly women, so of course they mostly love children. They are very excited, it's quite fun. I've also told a few close friends, but the reactions have been mixed, so I'm not going to tell anyone else for now. My parents will tell extended family since my dad is SO excited it's absurd (even though it's his third grandchild).

I told my boss first at around 6 weeks - out of career necessity - I'd been offered another job and needed advice, and I was also really sick and struggling. I told my parents and OH's parents around 8 weeks and our siblings. Then I told my best friend a week later as we had a group of friends over for dinner and she would have guessed the moment she clocked I wasn't drinking wine. I then told my other best friend cos I wanted to be fair. So most of my close friends and family knew before 12 week scan - but if something had gone wrong, I'd have been okay-ish with that (with the exception of my OH's folks, but wasn't fair to tell my parents and not his). I then told all my other close friends and wider family after scan. I still haven't announced on Facebook and I've just had my 20 week scan.

I am 4 weeks and have told friends and family. Though not all of them. At 12 weeks I will tell everyone i suspect. I had a goo feeling about things, I say trust your instinct. I he told people before and them had a v early misscarriage, people were just supportive. I totally get why others do not tell though. I am just too chatty/ excitable not to!!!

Told my mum and hubby straight away my dad and bro knew xmas day but the rest found out at 12 week scan

I waited until 12 weeks to tell work colleagues and the in laws, but I told my father and sister and best friends as soon as I found out (about 6 weeks). As PPs say, with 25% of initial pregnancies ending in miscarriage, I didn't want to risk having to tell lots of people that the pregnancy had failed if it didn't all go well. Good luck!

We waited until about 14 wks to tell people but sadly lost at almost 18....

Im sure all will be fine but I'd probably wait until first scan at least.

I told family & work a few days after I found out, and was only 5 weeks :/
