We told our immediate family at 5 weeks, and our very close friends (4 people) at 6 weeks. We shared the news publicly at 13 weeks.
After having a previous miscarriage, I was nervous about sharing early, but I was so happy to be pregnant again, and I knew I'd want those people to know either way.
It's such a personal decision!!
How did telling your family go?? You had mentioned telling them at Christmas.

I'm not pregnant and we aren't even trying yet but I'm determined not to tell anyone except my BFF until 12 weeks. It's not even because I'm afraid I'd mc, it's more that I'd like to keep the news between the two of us for the first few months, it's special and personal and I'd rather not have everyone else asking questions and giving advice right away, I want us experience it on our own. It probably sounds stupid, and who knows, the second I see the BFP I might to a group call to the whole family
Good luck whatever you decide though, ultimately if it feels right then share the news

@Vegmama @T.H.O.U
Thanks for asking! We told our families on Christmas. Everybody cried and my mom started screaming with joy. Apparently she has been really really wanting a grandchild (I am an only child) but she didn't want to pressure me so she is thrilled. After I told, I swear my morning sickness got better because I just felt...like I didn't have to keep the secret to myself anymore!
We are telling close friends over dinner on the 30th, but of course no FB announcement til the end of January (maybe even until we know the gender). I am nervous about people treating me differently (I am the first one to get pregnant) but as everyone has said it would be really hard to hide.
@madambabyfever I thought I could wait too, but I didn't realize how tired and sick I would feel. People at work keep asking why I look "down"
can't wait to tell them too in a month or so! I also didn't know how LONG the wait would feel. We've known for 5 weeks and it seems like a lifetime.
