Pregnancy announcements

I told my family right away and only friends I will tell later :)

I’m 9 weeks and have told family over past few days. Told some close friends a little earlier. It is soo hard keeping it a secret. There is no right or wrong I would just do what’s best for you! X

I ended up telling close family because I had a bleed at 9 weeks. I’m telling my best friend next Friday I’ll be 11 weeks 4 days. I’m not sure if I’m going to announce it to others just yet though. My first however our families knew as soon as I’d peed on a stick 😂 so about 5 weeks 😅 we had been waiting for that moment for 4 years. However this time slightly different as I’m only 6 months pp so worried about peoples comments when I’m still getting my head around it 🙈

It’s up to you when you share… there is no rule about 12 weeks or any jinx if you share earlier. I think most people like to wait until they’ve had a scan but if you’ve had an early scan then the difference between 10-12 weeks isn’t much and the stats are low. There’s no real safe point anyways, just odds are a lot lower. Equally telling people is nice so they can support you. I personally wouldn’t do a social media post yet but again no rule against doing this. But telling family & friends - do whenever you like/feel comfortable. This is my 4th pregnancy (2 losses, daughter and this one) and I’ve done it slightly differently each time.

We went for a private scan (I’m 9w6d) once we saw the heartbeat we told our parents. It’s so hard keeping it secret - especially when you are sick too! I miscarried last year at 7wks and we only told my Mum then. I have a 9yr old son and I don’t think I told anyone until around 10wks and it was just my parents and one close friend. X

We have told parents and a selection of close friends, will start telling siblings and others from next week as I’ll be 12 weeks

My dad discovered it by accident so told him and my mum at 7 weeks, told my MIL at 8 weeks as we live with her and was easier that she knew

I’ve told my immediate family and husband family at 4 weeks and close friends at 6-7weeks. But won’t be announcing to extended families and friends they will only find out if they see my bump and ask- in’sha’Allah just want to protect my peace and have positive vibes from those who I know are genuinely happy for me! Evil eyes are real guys!

I told my close family circle and best friends as soon as I found out, didnt have any clue how far I was till my scan but I was only 5 weeks. I was too happy not to share it x
