When did you tell people you were pregnant?
First it was 12 weeks , second 15 weeks now I am 13 weeks and I don’t know when to tel people . Im already showing which I have been trying to hide but I feel so nervous about telling people incase something goes wrong . I always worry something will
I’ve had two scans and having another in 4 days . I wish I wasn’t always so worried and convinced something would go wrong . You would think it would get easier haha
So when did you tell people ?

I told people straight away. I knew if I did have a miscarriage I’d want the support of friends and family, I wouldn’t want to go through it on my own. I’ve never understood why people are expected to hide a pregnancy and a miscarriage.
I told my closest family and friends straight away for the exact same reasons as previous poster said. However we didnt announcr on fb until after bub was born. It was easier to just post details on fb rather than having to txt details to everyone (like hubbys beautiful workmates and extended family).
I was almost 5 months when I started telling my friends etc about my recent pregnancy. I never announced it on Facebook or anything like that. I told my mum about 2 minutes after I found out haha
Close family right away both times and everyone else 12 weeks both times.
I wanted to keep my pregnancy to myself a bit with my first (I was 17 and still processing it myself) but my partner told his mother who then told everyone she knew (and also that I'd lost the baby when I hadn't - he's now a perfectly healthy 10 year old but that's a whole other issue lol), so everyone knew at about 5 weeks.
My next 2 I never "announced" or anything but started telling family at around 18 weeks, mainly for fear of the judgment that you typically get as a young mum.
It's really up to you when and if you tell people at all.
Straight away. If something goes wrong I would want people to understand if I was out of sorts.
I have 3 and was probably he most worried about sharing. Not because of the fear something would be wrong but from all the judgmental people who I expected to say you have one of each whys do you need more. I only got that a couple of time most people where stoked. I was happy and that is all that matters. The point of the story is share when you are ready, however if you are showing be ready for questions women are hopeless like that 💝. Congratulations
