How far along were you when you told people?

Between my religious superstisions and after having a m/c last time i didnt want anyone to know at all this time until after 13 weeks but my husband seems so calm and tells me he knows this time everything is going to be ok.. He says he isnt running out telling people but if people we are close with us that we told we were TTC ask he is sort of just hinting that we are.. I just feel like too many people know: My 2 friends who are also PG, my immediate family, his immediate family, my 2 other best friends and my asst. at work (she found out by accident) Should I feel bad for people knowing? Should I tell a close freind who lives really far away?

Re: How far along were you when you told people?

We couldn't wait. We told our family and friends at 6 weeks even though we weren't out of the woods yet. We were too excited!

Re: How far along were you when you told people?

Our immediate family found out at about 8 weeks(only b'c i was in the E/R with bleeding and we needed someone to take care of our DD)
Other than that we waited until after the level 2 sono at 18 weeks to let the cat out of the bag.

Re: How far along were you when you told people?

Told my mom right away!

Told my boss at about 6 weeks because I was SO sick.

Told good friends around then, too.

Posted here after 1st drs apt- 9 weeks or so We saw the heartbeat so it was OK.

Told everyone else at work at 13 or 14 weeks.

Re: How far along were you when you told people?

I told my family when i was like 4 weeks, his family when we were about 6 weeks (after 1st sono). I told my boss around 6 weeks too when i started getting sick and coming in late alot. A few work friends that im close with figured it out by how sick I was and then the rest of the family/friends we told when i was about 9 weeks (on Christmas). The rest of work i told when I was 12 weeks.

We told our parents and my sister 5 minutes after BFP. They were awaiting the answer though, because we did IVF. My mom's side of the family pretty much found out right away, and my dad's side we told at almost 10 weeks. DH's extended family- I have no idea. They just found out by word of mouth because we aren't close with them at all.

Re: How far along were you when you told people?

we told our parents and siblings soon after i tested positive and confirmed with bloodwork. Im 7 weeks now and told my boss maybe 2 weeks ago. only b/c i'll need days off here and there for appt's. i asked him not to say anything.

3 girlfriends at work b/c they knew of the testing/procedures i was going through. but i havent formally annouced it yet.

i'll probably do that after the first official ob appt.

Re: How far along were you when you told people?

I told my family & close friends at 12 weeks or so. I told work around 17 weeks.

We are pretty private people though...

We couldn't wait. Our families knew within 2 weeks of our BFP, extended family and friends didn't find out until after the first sonogram. I will be 16 weeks on Monday and I plan on telling work next week.

Do what you feel comfortable with. There's no right or wrong, sometimes having a little secret all your own is fun!

Congratulations!

Re: How far along were you when you told people?

We told everyone right away.

Re: How far along were you when you told people?

We didn't wait at all to tell people. I just figured if things didn't work out then I would want to be able to talk about it with them. I'm not a private person at all so it felt right for me not to hold onto the secret for long. I don't think there is a right time, it's personal.

Re: How far along were you when you told people?

Close family & friends right away bc they knew we were doing IVF. Extended family we waited (and made my mom wait lol) til 12 weeks. I am 17 weeks now and I am gradually telling people at work...bc now it's noticeable.

Re: How far along were you when you told people?

i told my parents and MIL right after i POTS
and most of my close friends and family knew within a week or two. i wanted to announce it after like 12 weeks but no way did that happen, we were too excited.

Re: How far along were you when you told people?

everyone pretty much knows now and Im 7 weeks... we saw the heartbeat and they say there is only a small % of miscarriage after you see the heartbeat... My Dh couldnt wait and they once you tell one person they pass on the news, and so on and so on.

Re: How far along were you when you told people?

I told my parents & my best friend right away. We told DHs parents at 7ish weeks. Everyone else found out around 10 or 11 weeks after we heard the heartbeat & I had my first sono.

Re: How far along were you when you told people?

i told immediate fam at 6w extended fam at 8w everyone else at 12w

Re: How far along were you when you told people?

CLOSE friends knew right away.....

parents knew at 12 weeks...

it was a very personal decision for us...because of factors in the relationships we have with our parents..

there is no right or wrong answer - go with your gut & heart!

Re: How far along were you when you told people?

My DH decided to tell the fam when I was about 5 weeks....I wanted to wait but he was just too excited!

Re: How far along were you when you told people?

My parents and 3 of my good friends already know. I'm 6 weeks and I went to the dr at 5 and saw the sac, but did not hear the heartbeat yet. I go in two weeks so I will probaby see how that app't goes and take it from there.
