Pregnancy announcement

me and my partner announced to our parents and siblings when we found out, but waited till 12 weeks for everyone else x

I would. We announced to our close family literally 30 minutes after we got the positive on the test. We waited until our 12 week scan to tell everyone else. X

I have a rule to not tell anyone unless I am also okay telling them if I have a miscarriage. To each their own tho

Totally up to you. Depends on how you’d feel if something did happen and you’d have to tell everyone. I think you should be able to announce whenever you want to!!

Whatever you're comfortable with! I personally don't believe it's ever "too early" to share the good news and a Christmas gift reveal would be super cute so I would go for it 🎄🩷

I lost my 1st 2 pregnancies before 12wks. I told my parents early at the first one and it was heartbreaking to then tell them I lost the baby. I kept it to myself the 2nd time, lost that baby too, but it wasn't quite as painful as the first after sharing my news. 3rd and 4th times round I had successful pregnancies and I kept everything v quiet each time. Congratulations and best wishes for u, only u can decide who to share it with and when

Depends on what they are like. Will they keep the secret? I told my mum trusting her in confidence and she told whole extended family against my wishes which horrified me. That was so much pressure as I had 3 bad bleeding scares at 5, 11 and 15 weeks. It's stressful sometimes to hide it especially if you need an excuse not to drink or eat cold meats. However people are sooo annoying to you once you announce you may wish you gave yourself and your partner more time to just enjoy your amazing secret in peace and privacy without judgment from everyone on the size of your bump and everything you do and say and them wanting to get all in your business and decide your birth plan etc 😅 You could also reveal on mother's day, valentines day, Easter (make a big kinder surprise easter egg!), plenty of nice holidays coming up

My first pregnancy I didn’t tell anyone and had a miscarriage. I called my mom bc I needed her and it hurt so much more to tell her then. So my second pregnancy I told my parents and in laws around 6 weeks. I figured if I had another miscarriage I’d want their support again. I just found out I’m pregnant again and already told my in laws for the same reason. It’s whatever you’re comfortable with and how your relationship is.

I told my family and friends early, then miscarried and had to tell everyone about the miscarriage. It was devastating to have and then devastating to have to repeat the loss again and again. There’s nothing anyone could say or do to make me feel better so when people are like “you want their support if the worst happens”… no, I wish I hadn’t shared to begin with. Everyone is different and some people do want the support of their family if they lose the pregnancy. Choose whatever makes you happy.

Personally, I’d wait. I told my mum when I found out due to a job interview I was deliberating over at the time (should I take it knowing I’m pregnant?!) but she let slip to most of the fam and it was out of my control.

Also, there’s no “safe” time, even at 12 weeks, so why not share the joy of the pregnancy?

Nope. I wait until I’m over that hump. But if you can’t hold it in….share it with whoever

I’d only tell people you’d also be comfortable telling it didn’t work out too (we MC)

I waited until 8 weeks

I told my family around this point was just tooo excited not to!! And also was about to go see them all and didn’t want to be hiding it in front of them
