When to announce pregnancy on social media?

When should I announce on social media? Initially planned on 20-21 weeks after anatomy scan but now considering around 16-17 weeks. I’ve had an asymptomatic, easy pregnancy even though I’m 36 and have PCOS. Baby’s heartbeat has always been strong and steady at 165-167 bpm. Baby has always measured 4 days - 1 week ahead. NIPT and NT results are normal. Still don’t want to jinx anything by announcing too soon. I’ve read so many horror stories of second and third trimester losses that are messing with my head. #Pregnancy14Weeks

With my first, I announced at 12 weeks and with my second, at 16 weeks. Announce whenever you feel ready. Your baby deserves to be loved and celebrated from the very beginning. God forbid the worst should happen, but even those babies lost in 2nd and 3rd trimester deserved to be loved and celebrated and, likely, the mother and father needed the support of people who knew they were expecting.

To be honest a would announce pregnancy on social media at all. I don’t see why. Maybe the birth of the baby would make more sense.

I didn’t announce till they were born. I was having twins though and constantly paranoid that one of them would disappear.

I think we casually announced when we did our gender reveal, but we didn’t really officially announce until the baby was born.

I announced on social media at 13 weeks but friends and family knew from about 6 weeks🤍

I didn't announce my pregnancy at all. Close friends and family all knew and they were all who mattered tbh. Do what you feel is right and when it feels right. There's no right or wrong! Very excited for you hope it all goes well xxx

I put it on FB after our 20 week scan. Just wanted to be sure things were okay. Told close family after the 12 week.

20 weeks with my first. 27 weeks with my second.

My first i announced at 17 weeks .. with my second im not going to up it on soical media ...

We announced around 14 weeks and incorporated our gender reveal. I had prior miscarriage so wanted to get through first trimester before telling our wider circle of friends and family. Close family and friends knew around 6 weeks as I wanted the support incase there was another miscarriage.

I did 12 weeks after genetic testing. But it’s an individual choice

12-14 weeks both

16 weeks first 22 weeks second There is no “perfect” time to announce. Just do what makes you comfortable

We didn’t. Just announced the birth, surprised a lot of people but I wanted him here and healthy before posting anything about him.
