How many weeks were you when you told people you were pregnant?

[Reesie]

I'm only very early pregnant (5 weeks) with no 2 and planned to leave it a little while before telling people. However - despite only knowing for a few days - I'll have to tell work as I work with certain chemicals that I'll have to avoid in the first trimester.

Also - my best friend has just booked her wedding for 2 weeks after my due date - in Spain. Also - I go running 3 times a week for an hour session with a friend and we push ourselves a lot during the session and I don't feel comfortable doing it now my little embryo is trying to implant in there!!

I;m not sure about telling people this early - how late or early did you tell people?

I found out at 3 months, told dp straight away, and work, then waited until 4 months to tell family and friends because of dps pretty bad reaction to it (would have found the, "so, how does daddy feel?" questions too difficult at that stage). I'm now almost 6 months and dp has only just started to tell his family and friends. Congratulations btw :-)

Told both sets of parents, siblings and 2 best friends at 6 weeks. Am now 7+6 and waiting til the 12 week scan to tell everyone else. My mum is WAY too excited for my liking, keep telling her to calm down as something could so easily go wrong... argh!!

Had to tell work straight away as worked with formaldehyde- but only told my boss and my closest colleagues (esp. the ones who'd have wondered why I stopped handling formalin!). Plus I was due out on our research ship at 9 weeks pregnant so had to tell the captain for health and safety reasons (plus I was seasick like never before! so they'd have suspected something I think!). Plus told one close friend straight away.

But only told parents at 8 weeks- and everyone else after the 12 week scan. Same with DC2.

If we have another I won't tell anyone until after 12+ weeks as will need a CVS at 11 weeks. I have had a lot of friends sadly miscarry in the first trimester recently which has reminded me of the risks and rather than go through the heartache of explaining it all to everyone should that happen I'd rather keep the news to DH & myself.

I've only told my immediate family. I will tell work and parents when I am 12 weeks pregnant.

Told parents at 12 weeks, others on a need to know basis from then on. I'm 16 weeks now and still quite a few people don't know - will probably wait until bump is more visible - ideally in another month or so.

4+3. I shouldn't have, but couldn't keep my bloody gob shut, as usual.

16 weeks, and I told my ds1 at 30 weeks!

Just DH and I until 17 weeks.

We told our parents at 5 weeks both times, but didn't tell anyone else until 14 weeks. We wanted to have the results of the nuchal scan each time, we're not the kind of people who would want to go through the stress of that in public. We found it harder this time around to keep it quiet, but we're glad we did (even though I was low risk).

Fantastic, I feel so relieved. I'm 17 weeks and still haven't had a chance to tell my boss. I've felt horrible because really wanted to tell after the 12-week scan but due to holidays haven't seen her... Huh, one more week of hiding the bump and then I can spill the beans! Told closest family and best friend at 6 weeks...

Told one friend from work yesterday as she knew we were TTC and told me when she got pg early on (am 6w btw). We'll wait until at least after 12wks/nuchal scan for everyone else, though I might tell my mum before then if I see her.

Actually it was lovely to tell my friend, she was really elated for us and although I'm generally being very cautious it was so nice to get excited for a little while!

I told my mum pretty much as soon as I tested both times - we are pretty close and I would want her support if I did miscarry. Thing with ILs we left it a bit later (and asked them not to broadcast until after the 12 weeks scan).

Other people - well I agreed with DH that we would wait until 12 weeks , but in practise did end up telling close friends individually before that, when the time felt right.

Told everyone about 12 weeks, am 19 weeks now and have not told work. Am in a huff and will tell them when I want to, maybe next week when I'm in a better mood!

immediate family at about 8 weeks, due to being SO sick they'd think i needed to go to the hospitital without a decent explanation.

Everyone else, after my LATE 12 weeks scan, which was actually about 14 weeks.
