Announcing pregnancy

I didn’t post anything anywhere until I was 32 weeks. Only people I spoke to or was close to knew. Announce it when you’re ready! Some people I know didn’t announce anything until baby was born. X

I’d say everyone is different with this one, I’m currently 9 weeks with my first pregnancy and have told all my friends and family. The way I thought of it was I would want to be able to talk to them all about it if anything were to happen, so I made that decision to tell them at 7/8 weeks. I’ve not accounted on any socials yet, but will do that at 12/13 I think! It’s just a personal preference! I felt like I was keeping a dirty secret so I felt free telling people, also, I defo needed to have a complain about how grim I’m feeling 😂😂😂

I never "announced" because I'm not royalty or anything. We told close family fairly early, extended family around 12 weeks and close friends as and when it made sense. Both with first and this pregnancy :) x

We decided to announce after our 12 week scan on socials, I’ve been unwell with HG so work, family and close friends have known for a while because of how poorly I’ve been xx

@Bethan i’ve been really unwell too but i’ve managed to hide it as before i found out i was pregnant i had covid, so ive told people im not contagious ive just struggled to recover. Luckily i don’t work with a lot of people x

@Anonymous hope you’re starting to feel better now! Luckily I only had to tell management and a manager actually had HG herself when pregnant so understood completely. I worked from home for the first trimester but I do find it easier at work now that everyone knows xx

@Anonymous everyone can do whatever makes them happy. I don't tend to use social media all that much and over the years came to a conclusion that I don't need to share important details of my life with people I don't even talk to (funnily enough I have no problem sharing totally unimportant details 😅). The point I was making is you don't *have to* announce. People will know when they know :)

@Bethan yeah that’s why i think it’d be easier for me to tell people. i feel mean for not telling my friends but im happy in my bubble of me and my partner and then our parents knowing. but i also can’t wait to tell people. my friends invited me out a couple times and ive had to say no due to being so ill :( xx

i announced at 16 weeks, my mum had already told nearly everyone so didn’t see the point not saying anything😂 this one’s bit more of a secret so i’m gonna announce around christmas

We’ve told friends and family, not work yet but probably won’t bother putting anything on social media same as with our first x

@Aimee i’m thinking of maybe announcing around christmas too, ill be around 20 weeks by then so i feel like its not too early and not to late for me xx

First baby, I announced at 14 weeks. I put it on Facebook as I couldn’t stop being sick, and needed to tell everyone so they wouldn’t ask as many questions. Don’t announce it if you’re not ready. I think I might put somet in at 16 weeks, when we find out gender. And it’ll be my little girl with the scan. Everyone close and work already knows cause I’m so sick currently. Do it when you’re ready, you’ll know when you are ☺️
