When do you blab?

[Poppet45]

So when do you gals think is the best time to share the good news with family?
So far only my hubs and my sister know - he knew the minute I took the test and ran out of the loo in shock, she's my identical twin and when I was going through an early pg wobble she was my rock when hubs was out of the country.
I'm 10+1 and we were thinking of waiting for the first scan.... What did the rest of you do? And when do you tell less than nice people, like work? Particularly work where lots of redundancies are on the cards?

I told most people pretty much straight away, I wanted to keep it a secret from ppl at work at first but we went on a work trip and ppl started asking why I wasn't drinking so I just told ppl.
Also, I was finding it quite stressful when ppl didn't know, at least ppl understand why u r behaving the way u r and you're not having to worry about covering things up.
I was having trouble sleeping and the widwife suggested that I just tell ppl as it could be anxiety causing the problem. Like she said, if u were to miscarry ppl would find out anyway so u might as well just tell ppl.
It's up to u tho, what ever u feel most comfortable with.
I waited till I was 12 weeks till I told any children, I wouldn't have liked to explain to a 4 year old that my baby had gone to heaven.

i didn't tell anyone tell i knew (apart from mum) until all was ok at 12 week scan

I had a friend who told everyone - then had to tell people she'd had an abortion as the baby was unlikely to survive -horrible for her.

I suppose you should only tell people who you wouldn't also mind telling you;d had a miscarriage.....I would have told my mum regardless if I was miscarrying so that was easy!

I'm pregnant for the 4th time, had one dd and 2mc's. Talking from experience it's better to wait until your first scan and you know everything is alright. I blabbed the first time and then had to tell everyone I'd misscarried, it was horrible. Sorry for being a downer but I do think it's best to wait.

I told my mum and dh told his parents at around 9 weeks and I've told work at 12 (after first scan). I'll tell friends after the NT/blood.

my family found out when i was 8 weeks( stupid cow i hate saw me at the epu and blabbed to loads of people we know), but it was horrible cause they where all soo excited and going on about names and due dates and stuff constantly, and meanwhile me and dp where trying to deal with the fact it was a threatened miscarriage thankfully im 24 weeks now and everthing is ok but i would have rathered everyone found out later.

Thanks guys, I think we will wait til the 12 week scan, don't want to tempt fate...
