How many weeks were you when you "came out"?

Especially to extended friends/co workers?

Re: How many weeks were you when you "came out"?

I came out to our closest family and a few of my best friends right away, I could not hold it in. I am waiting to come out to everyone else until I am 12 wks. I am 9 wks now and it's tough already not telling people, I am not good at keeping these things in.

Re: How many weeks were you when you "came out"?

Just this week Im 20 weeks dont know why i waited so long I think cause im so tiny no one could tell so I waited.


But my last pregnancy EVERYONE knew at 12 weeks

Re: How many weeks were you when you "came out"?

With dd right away. With this pg I've only told my mom and best friend. I plan on waiting to 12 weeks because I had an mc in May!

Re: How many weeks were you when you "came out"?

15-16 weeks. Just waited for a lot of test results (CVS, AFP, etc) and my early anatomy scan since some issues were detected early on. Once we knew things were normal, we felt like sharing the news!

Re: How many weeks were you when you "came out"?

work 15 weeks (i.e. my boss and couple of coworkers) .. rest of them close to 20 weeks.. family, was somewhere between 15 and 20 as well..

Re: How many weeks were you when you "came out"?

Due to IF, my close friends and family that knew what I was going through, knew right away. I'll be 12 weeks on Sunday and my next appointment is at 13 weeks, 2 days. So, I'll probably tell work at 14 weeks, then my 3 yo daughter, then we'll make it public.

Re: How many weeks were you when you "came out"?

With both pregnancies, we didn't tell anyone until we saw the heartbeat (at around 6/7 weeks). Then over the course of a few days, we told family, close friends, work, and the rest of the world in that order. We were totally out by about 8 weeks both times.

Re: How many weeks were you when you "came out"?

told close family right away.

told a few key people at work after the heartbeat, because i am high risk i wanted them to know why i had constant appointments

telling the rest of the world after 12 weeks and extended family on Thaksgiving

Re: How many weeks were you when you "came out"?

We told family and a couple of close friends early on. I officially came out at 12 weeks, after the NT scan.

Re: How many weeks were you when you "came out"?

I'm 9 weeks and it's my first PG so having a hard time keeping it in. So far our immediate families know, as do a very small circle of close friends and two people at work (due to nature of my job).

Am coming out to my aunt/uncle and cousins tomorrow, and then will do the big Facebook/all friends and what not at 13 weeks.

Re: How many weeks were you when you "came out"?

parents and siblings: 10 weeks
aunts and uncles and close friends: 13 weeks

I'm 15 weeks and still haven't come out to extended friends or work or Facebook

Re: How many weeks were you when you "came out"?

8 weeks. we weren't good at keeping it a secret. we told our immediate family right away.

Re: How many weeks were you when you "came out"?

Between 6 and 12 weeks. Work knew before soem of our friends and family.

Re: How many weeks were you when you "came out"?

We waited until 12 weeks to tell everyone.

Re: How many weeks were you when you "came out"?

My plan was to tell extended family and friends after my OB appt at 10 weeks. But that appt went so badly, so now I am gonna wait til after my NT on 10/17. I will be 12 weeks!

Re: How many weeks were you when you "came out"?

I'm 14weeks.,immediate friends and family knew at 8 weeks. Work does not know yet, I plan on telling them at 20weeks or so. It's a brand new job so I'm delaying it as long as I can.....

More distant family, when I see/speak to them, they will find out.
Facebook friends will find out when my LO goes to college. seriously though, when I find out the gender I will probably come out on FB.

Re: How many weeks were you when you "came out"?

wanted to wait till 12 but because of DH's little slip to one of his cousins it was 11

Re: How many weeks were you when you "came out"?

About 14 weeks I think. Before that just our parents, grandparents and siblings knew, we told them at about 12-13 weeks.

Re: How many weeks were you when you "came out"?

1st pg we came out to our parents/siblings at 9 weeks and everyone else at 12 weeks.

This time we're telling our parents at 12 1/2 weeks when we have both sets of grandparents together (my ILs live OOS) and then we're telling everyone else at 14w.

Re: How many weeks were you when you "came out"?

I told family and close friends right away. work and FB at 13 weeks! I was bursting at the seams at that point!

Re: How many weeks were you when you "came out"?

With my first pregnancy, told friends and family at 10 weeks, work at 11 weeks.

This pregnancy, told a friend right away, my inlaws this week at 6 weeks, and am telling my parents this weekend. Will tell work and everyone else at 12 weeks.

Re: How many weeks were you when you "came out"?

I told my brother and sister about a week after the BFP. My first OB appt. is on the 18th and we'll tell our parents after that.

Re: How many weeks were you when you "came out"?
