Pregnancy Support Group

I told my parents about 8 weeks after we had our first ultrasound and everything looked good. We also saw the heartbeat that visit. We swore them to secrecy though and they weren't allowed to tell other family members. After that we waited til our 12 week appt and heard the heartbeat. We sent out pregnancy announcements that day to all our family and friends and just sat back and waited for people to call us!!

I waited to see/hear the heartbeat at 6wks to tell my parents. With my first, I told them right away...the pee on the stick wasn't even dry!

I told my parents and in laws right away because we had weddings and lots going on...I didn't want them to speculate so I just told them 1 day after I took a HPT.

My initial plan was to wait until after the first trimester...But I ended up telling my family on Day 1. After trying for 4 years it was so hard not to tell the world right away.

We waited until 13 weeks. We wanted to wait until we had our 12 week scan and had a week to ourselves constantly gazing at our tiny baby before unleashing the news to family.

we told right away also... this will be my H first biological child so as a matter of fact he called his family in missouri at 430am to tell them!!

We had been trying for so long that we told our family immediately! We told everyone else at 12 weeks.

I told my mom the day before my birthday, when I was 8 weeks along. I told her b/c I was so sick and throwing up and I missed my mom---she lives 2 hours away from me and I hardly see her. When I told her, she made me call my sister to tell her. Then, the next day on my birthday, my grandma called me and said "Happy Birthday, little momma!" I wasn't too surprised that mom told---she has a big mouth, lol.
Then, I waited almost a week before we told my fiance's parents and my dad and the rest of my family.

i got my bfp 10dpo... and told them that day as we had been going through fertility treatments. plus, i wanted the support if something went wrong.

With my first my now hubby and I were nervous about reactions. We discovered we were pg at 8wks and told around 10weeks.

With my second we took our hpt and waited until after we had it confirmed with a doctor. I think we were possibly 8wks.

We had a pregnancy that didn't make it last year. We told our children & parents at 8wks, but weren't ready to tell others and then we had a m/c before my first check up.

This pregnancy we were very nervous. I had u/s at 5,7, 9,11 & 15wks. We originally planned to tell at 12-13 weeks but I was still scared. I had seen the baby, the heart and movement but it wasn't until I had a scan with a specilaist and he measured everything that I felt oaky. That was at 16 1/2 weeks and we told at 17weeks.
Now at 19 weeks we are going to be finding out the gender so my pregnancy is going by really fast for everyone else! LOL

It is totally up to you, do what feels right for you. I did tell my three close friends so they would be supportive while I worried. I didn't want my mom to worry for me. Tell when you are comfortable and you feel right... but I will tell you i have felt a lot less stress & worry after I told, but I knew I had to wait because my two children had already experienced a loss with me and that was hard for us all.

Maybe you would find it fun to wait another two weeks and share on Thanksgiving!? It would be a wonderful surprise and a nice story to write in the baby book!

BTW congratulations... you had great news today and you shoud celebrate that! (even if it is just with your DH)
