Superstitions

Okay as weird as this may sound. Im pretty sure someone else out there has heard it as well.
Well yesterday I just found out im pregnant,which only means I am literally only 3 weeks. I took a early pregnancy test. And me & my boyfriend are very excited!! We started trying just last month and got lucky on our first try! :) Of course I told 2 very good friends of mine. One says, "Keep it in dont tell nobody until 3 months." My other friend says "Your not suppose to hide it, be proud and talk about it" I know this is all superficial.. But just seeing what yal think about all this??

Ive told my family right when we found out with all four!! I waited a few weeks after to tell close friends...my thoughts on telling is only tell those you would turn to of anything went wrong at first..;-) I havnt miscarried any of my pregnancies so I can't say I've walked in some woman's shoes..but I really get too excited to wait long to tell!! ;-)

Its not superstitions its about playing it safe. Most ppl dont tell everyone till 13wks bcuz u have a way less chance if mc. I dont think I would  feel good having to go n tell everyone I told I miscarried. Everyone is different n its so hard not to tell the world of ur biggest blessing:) Congrats

I told my family and close friends right away... they are the ones that i would turn to if something did happen so i ddint see any reason not telling them... i didnt go public to the rest of my friends until i was 12 weeks...

With this pregnancy I only told my parents and waited till 13 weeks to tell everyone else. I miscarried my first after telling everyone I was pregnant. It was so heartbreaking to have to go back and tell everyone I lost it and then those I forgot to tell comming up to me asking how the pregnancy was going. It was literally the worst feeling in the world!!!

I didnt' tell my parents until after my 8wk u/s.  And then we didn't tell anyone outside out immediate family until after 3 months.  I had a miscarriage once already when I told a couple of friends and I was not going through that again.    I have a gf that they waited until 12 wks to tell everyone and within 2 days of telling everyone she had an u/s and they told her that she had to go in for an emergency D&C.   that something was wrong and it was hard on her to have to tell everyone what happened.

I would suggest that you keep it quiet as much as possible for now until you are out of the first 3 months.  Going back to re-live it all is just not worth it.

Okay.. Thank you.. I mean im not trying to feel bad over here cause I told a few people. But thank you!! :)

I waited till 13weeks with first...only started tellin people now this time except our families (I'm 18 weeks now) the longer you leave telling people kinda makes the pregnancy go faster. either way have fun tellin them.

I think it depends on you and what you feel comfortable with. I didnt tell anyone until I was about 8 weeks. As for waiting til the 3 month mark, your chance of miscarrying is wayyyy less.
