My husband wanted to tell right away and I wanted to wait till 8 weeks. We compromised by telling after getting confirmed bloodwork, a few days later.
-
We told after we heard a heartbeat around 7 weeks. Had we not had that surprise ultrasound it would have been after my first appointment at 10 weeks, I think.
-
I told my mom and best friends right away. My husband told his parents and sister a couple days later, I think. I asked him to wait on his friends a bit since we had a miscarraige two months before and had told way too many people that time, which made it awkward when we lost it. Next time I'd like to try to wait a little while before telling anyone so we can have the secret just between us, but I don't know if I can...
-
I told my mom at 11 weeks and told my MIL at 13 weeks
-
we told immediate family at 5 weeks. everyone else around 11.
-
We told our immediate families at 5ish weeks, extended family at 8 weeks, and the rest of the world at 9 weeks after our first appointment when we heard the heartbeat.
-
We found out at 3.5 weeks and told our parents at 5 weeks. I told close friends and grandparents around 6-7 weeks and extended family at 9 weeks. Then we announced on Facebook at 10 weeks after 3 ultrasounds with a heartbeat.
-
On Mother's Day last year...7 weeks.
-
We dealt with infertility so we waited until 6w4d when we had our first ultrasound and everything looked good.
-
I called my sister before DH even knew. We told our parents when we saw them in person a week later.
-
publicly 16 weeks, close friends and family knew around week 12
-
We had a scan at seven weeks and saw the HB so told our family at 8 weeks on New Years Eve. Seemed like a good way to bring in the new year. Everyone apparently had figured it out anyways since my usually wine drinking over the holidays had not been occurring.....
-
We told our immediate family at 6 weeks, and friends just after 10 weeks, after we heard the heartbeat.
-
I'd had a mc, so we told family at 16 weeks and everyone else around then too. Told work after 20 weeks.
-
We told my mom at 4.5 weeks ... a few days after we found out. And we told DH's parents a week later.
As for DH's siblings and my dad, grandma and a few other family members, we told them at 11w1d (just on Sunday).
I don't plan on making a facebook announcement.
-
I would have waited, but my best friend got pregnant at the same time and was telling everyone already she was pregnant at 6 weeks. I ended up telling her I was pregnant, too, but I was worried she'd let it slip out on FB, so I went ahead and called my parents and my brothers.
Next time, though...I probably won't mention anything until an anatomy scan. And on Facebook, it won't be talked about hardly at all ever...until there's a live baby in my arms.
-
I told my parents and grandparents at four weeks with the intention of waiting on everyone else, but my grandpa slipped so my whole extended family knew pretty much immediately. Work knew really early because I work with only two people, both women. Friends knew at 10-12 weeks. Facebook knew after our anatomy scan.
-
I told my sister and best friend immediately, but we waited forever for everyone else. (We had dealt with a miscarriage before. Even 12 weeks didn't feel "safe".) We did not tell any other family until I was well into 16 weeks. And we didn't tell any friends until family knew.
(Although, my MIL totally figured me out during a visit when I refused coffee in the morning. She said she waited all day for us to spill the beans (which we eventually did at the evening meal). She said she thought she was going to have to offer me wine at dinner, lol!)
-
I told my parents right after I told DH. I literally dropped him back at work after lunch and called then, haha. They knew I'd been seeing an RE and I would've told them anyways if I'd lost the baby.
Then we told some of DH's family at 6 weeks, I think. He had a family get together with his brother, sister, and mom, and since he doesn't usually see them all together we decided to tell them then. His mom wasn't feeling well so she didn't show up, and we had to tell his siblings because I was downing seltzer and saltines, lol. We told his mom a couple weeks later when we could finally see her in person.
We ended up telling his dad the day before his siblings because DH didn't want his dad left out (parents are divorced) and his dad thought we were crazy for telling him that early. I was amazed because my parents would be so upset if I waited until 12 weeks to tell them. Oh well, each parent is different, I guess...
We've also told a few friends along the way. I'm 11w right now, at some point after our 12w ultrasound we'll announce on Facebook.

None of the options really fit what we did. I found out at 4 weeks and we waited til our first doctor's appt (6 weeks) to tell parents/siblings. Then told the rest of the family (aunts/uncles/cousins/grandparents) at around 10 weeks.
