The news has been trickling out slowly. I also just got my Materniti 21 results today so that makes me want to tell even more people haha. I am having twins btw. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-announce-your-pregnancy-with-multiples#post-2116494 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 18:29:32 +0000 BabyMats 2116494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: I announced at around 14 weeks. But I dont have a fb or ig or anything to announce on. Just calling friends and family at that time</p> <p>Eta: im currently pregnant with twins </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-announce-your-pregnancy-with-multiples#post-2116436 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 17:12:49 +0000 hotchildinthecity 2116436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a big 12 weeks type of person. I'd wait. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-announce-your-pregnancy-with-multiples#post-2116376 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 16:13:28 +0000 marionberry 2116376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think 12 weeks is when we told on sites like FB but we always told really early to family and close friends. I'm just not the type to not do things because of worry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-announce-your-pregnancy-with-multiples#post-2116364 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 16:01:56 +0000 sandy 2116364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: completely agree with this line of thought!</p> <p>Life is very fragile and you can't let fear keep you from sharing your joy and excitement with the world. Death/loss can happen at any time </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-announce-your-pregnancy-with-multiples#post-2116330 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 15:08:37 +0000 Torchwood 2116330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never carried multiples, but I also chose not to let fear keep us from announcing. We went ahead and announced early for all of them. This last one we waited a little later (11 weeks I think), but that was because I was just so tired of everything about me revolving around being pregnant or having a loss or something baby related. I wanted more time to just be seen as me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-announce-your-pregnancy-with-multiples#post-2116329 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 15:08:09 +0000 beachbee 2116329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>13 weeks for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-announce-your-pregnancy-with-multiples#post-2116321 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 14:58:28 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2116321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just do what your comfortable with....with every pregnancy, there's a chance of miscarriage (sadly), so you're never really in the "100% free and clear" zone. I've known multiple people who've miscarried well into the second trimester, but you can't let fear hold you back from sharing your joy with others. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-announce-your-pregnancy-with-multiples#post-2116269 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 14:24:29 +0000 mrscobee 2116269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to be firmly in the wait as long as possible camp. Are you talking a facebook announcement? I might hold off on that. If you are just dying to tell a few more friends though, I would probably just go for it. It is great that they would be able to share in your joy. I think you are in the &lt;5% zone. Also, someone once pointed out to me that there is really never a 100% safe zone until baby is in your arms. However, in all likelihood everything will go fine after your successful 10 week appointment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-announce-your-pregnancy-with-multiples#post-2116058 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 11:54:31 +0000 BandDmommy 2116058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd wait until 12 weeks. I had a friend announce twin pregnanch at 12 weeks and then lost one before she was 18 weeks. My other friend waited till after 18 weeks to announce her twin pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-announce-your-pregnancy-with-multiples#post-2116056 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 11:53:16 +0000 FliegepilzHut 2116056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Again, so many congratulations are in order!!! :happy: I'm not sure there's a "right" answer. I am however naturally cautious...mostly because un-telling people is just rough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-announce-your-pregnancy-with-multiples#post-2116020 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 11:30:32 +0000 Worrywart 2116020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a great ultrasound at 8 weeks, and then went on to miscarry at 11 weeks. I would wait until 12. So happy things are looking great for you!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-announce-your-pregnancy-with-multiples#post-2116012 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 11:26:58 +0000 Caly 2116012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We announced at approx 12 weeks (family &amp; select close friends knew earlier). It was getting hard to hide (I was incredibly sick &amp; already looked pregnant) so we figured we'd just tell. </p> <p>Glad everything is looking good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-announce-your-pregnancy-with-multiples#post-2115998 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 11:18:33 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2115998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sadly, because I have been there, I am also in the wait it out camp. When is your next appointment? Can you just try to give it 2 more weeks? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-announce-your-pregnancy-with-multiples#post-2115986 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 11:12:42 +0000 blackbird 2115986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>after a 12 week miscarriage, I'd wait a bit! Makes me nerrrrrvous. But that's also SUPER unlikely, you're in the &lt; 5% chance something can happen zone!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-announce-your-pregnancy-with-multiples#post-2115947 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 10:53:51 +0000 twodoghouse 2115947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We announced at 12 weeks exactly on Facebook and at work, but friends and family already knew. Glad things looked good at your US! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-announce-your-pregnancy-with-multiples#post-2115938 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 10:49:06 +0000 msmug 2115938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We announced our twin pregnancy to everyone (via fb) around 15 weeks. Family and close friends knew really early.. like around 6 weeks or so.. but those are the same people I would turn to had something gone wrong so I felt comfortable sharing early with them </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-announce-your-pregnancy-with-multiples#post-2115918 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 10:40:29 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2115918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 13 weeks with a singleton, but have had multiple miscarriages. I've told most of my family and friends, but won't make a broader announcement until I'm 20 weeks. As people see me, I'll let them know, but I'm not going to go out of my way to make a big announcement. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-announce-your-pregnancy-with-multiples#post-2115915 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 10:34:38 +0000 BSB 2115915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We told everyone who needs to know but when did you tell everyone else?</p> <p>I'm 10 weeks today and the ultrasound tech at my RE's office said the babies are looking healthy and strong, so DH is trying to persuade me to announce this weekend. A part of me thinks we should wait til 12 weeks, but the ultrasound sounded very hopeful. </p> <p>My sister had a m/c at 11 weeks, so that's why I want to wait. But I am itching to tell other people. Oh, I still have morning sickness, so I was hoping by 12 weeks, I would feel better and be happy telling others. Right now, I'm hoping to keep my breakfast down so it's kinda hard. </p>
