Our close family knows, maybe I will just wait for word to spread. I feel embarrassed to just tell people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-weeks-were-you-when-you-announced#post-2164103 Fri, 01 May 2015 13:26:38 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2164103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littleblessings: Wow, did you have a very small bump? I've already been avoiding people with my tiny bump. :P</p> <p>Thanks for all the replies ladies. I was starting to think I was waiting a ridiculously long amount of time (eta, that everyone pretty much announced by 12-14w) but I'm just not ready yet. Soon though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-weeks-were-you-when-you-announced#post-2164074 Fri, 01 May 2015 13:02:35 +0000 LulaBee 2164074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've told family right after I found out for all 4 of my pregnancies, around 4 weeks. I just tell friends as I see them. Told my boss today (8.5 weeks). With an early miscarriage and a second trimester loss, I'm not scared to tell people early. I just don't feel very excited about it this time around after my last loss. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-weeks-were-you-when-you-announced#post-2163954 Fri, 01 May 2015 11:52:50 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 2163954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Told family on Christmas as 12 weeks. Friends at NYE at 13 weeks. Work after I got back from Christmas break around 14 weeks. I think we made a FB "announcement" (babymoon pic) around 26ish weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-weeks-were-you-when-you-announced#post-2163946 Fri, 01 May 2015 11:48:29 +0000 BSB 2163946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were open with our IVF journey, so very close family and friends found out when we got the BFP. About 30 people (most of that was DH's friends and family). </p> <p>At 10 weeks, we made a FB announcement. (My sister had a m/c at 11 weeks, so we sensitive to the fact that a m/c could happen. We had a bunch of u/s by that 10 week mark that made us feel a bit more comfortable posting.) Oh, originally, I wanted to wait til 12 weeks to announce but DH pressured me and I gave in. </p> <p>All of our friends have been supportive of our journey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-weeks-were-you-when-you-announced#post-2163942 Fri, 01 May 2015 11:45:58 +0000 KT326 2163942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Family we pretty much told right away, 4-5 weeks since we were going through fertility treatments.</p> <p>Our close group of friends found out shortly after 6 weeks because we all went to Vegas together for a wedding. There was no way to hide it!</p> <p>My boss also knew at 6 weeks because of the time off for treatments. But the rest of work didn't know until closer to 14 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-weeks-were-you-when-you-announced#post-2163910 Fri, 01 May 2015 11:33:07 +0000 mrscobee 2163910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Close family 8-9 weeks<br /> Boss at work 12 weeks<br /> A select few close friends 6-10 weeks<br /> Started telling other friends 12-13 weeks<br /> Everyone 15-16 weeks</p> <p>I don't have facebook, but if I did, I wouldn't announce at all probably. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-weeks-were-you-when-you-announced#post-2163897 Fri, 01 May 2015 11:27:42 +0000 buttermilk 2163897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Families: 6-8 Wks over xmas<br /> Close friends: 8-10 Wks<br /> FB announcement: 13 Wks</p> <p>:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-weeks-were-you-when-you-announced#post-2163647 Fri, 01 May 2015 09:30:10 +0000 ineebee 2163647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very close friends and family: right away<br /> Friends &amp; coworkers: around 14-15 weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-weeks-were-you-when-you-announced#post-2163541 Fri, 01 May 2015 08:31:36 +0000 JessKas 2163541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We told our close friends and family with LO #1 when we got the BFP, and the general public around 16-17 weeks.</p> <p>This time, we told close friends and family in between the BFP and 9 weeks, and still haven't "announced" to the general world, although it's getting really obviously.
