When did you tell people you were pregnant?

[Poptarts26]

I'm only 4 weeks along but I really want to share this news with my Mum - is it too soon?

We won't announce it generally until 12 weeks but I'm feeling quite anxious about everything at the moment and could really benefit from being able to talk to someone whose been through it all before and doesn't mind listening to all my irrational thought processes!

I told my mum straight away along with siblings and in-laws! Afew close friends before hand otherwise waited until 12 week scan.

I don't have a mum but told one close friend a few days after we found out. She's been great and incredibly supportive. If you want to tell your mum then do it. We're not telling anyone else until after the 12 week scan in a few weeks.

It's so up to you! I told my mum as soon as I'd told my husband!

Partly because I ride horses every day, so she needs to keep an extra eye on me then ;-) But also because we're really close and if things went wrong, I would want her support.
I had an ectopic pregnancy that resulted in surgery at 8 weeks. I would have been stuffed if she hadn't known as she rushed to hospital with an overnight bag and got my sh** together for me, whilst husband was stuck at work.
I would use the judgement of "would I tell them if something went wrong?" If you feel you would want their support and help in the worst case, absolutely tell them now.

This is a good way of looking at it @SillyBry

DH and I know we would not want our families involved before 12 weeks and we don't live near them so no chance of them finding out until we tell them. They mean well but would add more stress to an already stressful situation.
