When did you tell family?

[Sheep90]

I'm only 4 weeks, but feel like I want to tell my parents and inlaws. Is it too early?

We told them at 5 weeks. I'd have wanted my mum's support if anything went wrong. Our hand was forced because it was Christmas time and also they are helping us with a house purchase so had to keep them in the loop. But I don't think we'd have waited long anyway. Totally personal preference, do what you feel comfortable with.

We told our parents as soon as we got the BFP! We'd had IVF and they knew when testing day was, so had to let them know one way or another.

I told family/close friends in the week after I found out. Not planning on telling anyone else until 15+ weeks though, as long as I can hold it off without showing!

Told my dad a few days after we found out. Now 12 weeks and had our scan but not telling partners parents for a while. His mum is overbearing and will ruin this for us. Holding out as long as we can.

I told my mum and sister more or less as soon as I found out. My dad and his partner I told at 8 weeks and everyone else we told this weekend when I'm nearly 13 weeks, so so so relieved to have the secret out! Feels like a weight has lifted lol

Told parents on both side immediately as we’d have told them if anything had gone wrong. Just told people as and when we saw them really and said it was still early days.

My DH and I found out at 3+5 and told our parents at around 4+5. A few (maybe 3) of our very close friends know but we're waiting until my scan on Thursday to announce to extended family, I'll be 13+1.

Good luck

We told after our midwife appointment as we were on holiday before so didn’t want anyone worrying at home. We quite enjoyed having about 4 weeks in our own little bubble before inviting them in. We warned parents it was early days as I was about 9w at the time but they were who I would have wanted to support us if the worst happened. We told close friends after 1st scan and people not so close around 14w. It’s an entirely personal choice though so do what’s right for you

We told my parents out laws quite early on as they were staying over and i needed to feel someone.

Now most of work knows partly due to the nature of my work and cos i don't see the point of keeping it secret.

My mum doesn't know though! Or my other half's brother or grandfather. I'm waiting to tell my mum in person and due to living about 4 hours drive and me working recent weekends and having been on holiday... It's not going to be until a couple more weeks when I'll be 14 weeks.

Told mine after we'd had our NT and NIPT results. Would have been around 13 weeks. All looked OK but we wanted the freedom to make decisions without other people knowing or needing to be updated etc. DH told his family a couple of days after mine.

I'm 7 weeks and we are going to tell our parents after our booking in appointment on the 11th x

I told only close family as soon as I found out. Everyone else after the 12 week scan.
