Is 5 weeks to early to announce to family?

Dh and I want to tell our families but we dont' know if we should until after our first doctors visit. What did everyone else do?

Re: Is 5 weeks to early to announce to family?

We told our families right away-

But for us, it was unplanned, and timing was off(however still the greatest blessing we've ever received!)- so we needed their support immediately...

I was about 6-8 weeks along when I found out!

Re: Is 5 weeks to early to announce to family?

I'm 5 weeks also and I can't keep my mouth shut anymore. We are going to my Mom's today to tell her and then making the rounds to my Dad's and then DHs parents. I don't want to slip! We must be due date twins!

Yay CityBaby!!!!

Re: Is 5 weeks to early to announce to family?

I think my due date will be around October 17th as far as I can tell. I can't hold it in anymore either. I'm thinking of telling our parents on Valentine's Day.

Re: Is 5 weeks to early to announce to family?

I like that idea but nobody will really be around on V-Day. I can't wait!

Re: Is 5 weeks to early to announce to family?

Re: Is 5 weeks to early to announce to family?

I told right away... I think it was just over 4 weeks! Only because I knew that whoever I told I was pg, would be the same people I would tell if something horrible happened. It meant a lot to me that my family know so I can get all they're prayers for a healthy baby too!!

I still haven't told work...I'll wait until 10 weeks or so for that.

Another due date twin here I'm 5 weeks and telling my mom & stepdad today too. They're the ONLY ones we plan on telling until after 1st trimester (and it's killing me but DH is adamant!). Part of the reason we're even telling her so early is that they're planning a trip to Europe for 2 weeks at the end of Sept-early Oct and booking soon. Pretty sure mom won't go anywhere when she finds out

I think I will be delivering at Good Samartian in West Islip.

me too!!! I was 5 weeks on yesterday according to my last period.

I have a doctor's appt on Monday.

This is my UNDERCOVER name because I have some friends and family on here and we have not told anyone yet.

Well today we are telling my family. We bought my son a t-shirt announcing it. I can't wait to see their faces!

Talk to u girls soon!

Re: Is 5 weeks to early to announce to family?

Re: Is 5 weeks to early to announce to family?

By my last period. Two sites gave me a day difference, technically, I'm 5 weeks tomorrow.

Re: Is 5 weeks to early to announce to family?

We waited the first time around because at 6 weeks the Dr. advised us to wait because she didn't know if it was going to work out. We waited until after the 1st trimester and plan on doing the same this time around.

Re: Is 5 weeks to early to announce to family?

Re: Is 5 weeks to early to announce to family?

i am due 10/16!!!! there are SO many of us due around the same time!!! it's going to be nice having you all around for the next 9 months

i've told everyone already. i am not superstitious about this stuff. i figure that there's a better chance of sticking than of miscarriage, so i will take my chances. plus, if i do miscarry, i would want the support of my family and friends anyway. so, everyone knows

Re: Is 5 weeks to early to announce to family?

We told immediate family at almost 7 weeks and told them we didn't want to tell anyone else until after first trimester was over. They held out for a while. Well, after our first dr.'s appt and the sonogram pic it was impossible to keep them quiet. Now at just about 11 weeks MANY of my family members know. So just be careful...once you tell one, it is hard to keep it a secret sometimes, especially if you have a large immediate family like I do
