We told a few select people and my work at 4 weeks when I found out. I had to tell work due to safety concerns. We told family and everybody else all on the same day at 8 weeks. I know it is early but we just couldn't wait and TBH, if things went wrong I would feel weird hiding it from everybody. I would need the support.

We had friends who sent out a mass text the day she peed on a stick and then FB after the 6 wk ultrasound. My hubby and I agreed that was too early for us but her reasoning was that its a part of life and so it wouldn't bother her if she had to share they m/c. They didn't shes now 27 weeks.

We found out at 4 weeks, told immediate family at 6 weeks, had an ultrasound at 6.5 weeks and saw the HB, told the rest of our families. Told our close friends between 8-10 weeks. We heard the HB yesterday via doppler at 11.5 weeks and are planning to announce on FB this weekend. We were keeping it to families and are closest friends until yesterday now we'll share the news.

Its a personal decision, I do not want to have to share a m/c with people we are not close to. It would kill me so we kept it close to home until after the first trimester.

I don't think there's a "too early" rule. People should tell whenever they feel comfortable saying something. We told our family, close friends, and my co-workers pretty darn early--before my missed period (I took a pregnancy test at work and was freaked out and blabbed). These are all people I would say something to if I had a miscarriage--however I am the kind of person to share information, I don't think there should be a stigma to sharing news about a miscarriage. It's something I feel people should feel free and open to talk about if they'd like to.

We shared on FB after we had a good NTscan.

We wanted to wait until 12 weeks to tell family and friends but ended up telling our parents sooner. I had heart issues due to the pregnancy, and I wanted to let them know that everything was okay. We waited until the next major family get together to tell everyone else. I didn't announce on my blog until I was able to tell my closest friends in person. I left my pregnancy and family life off of Facebook.
