I told everyone right away with all my pregnancies. Last year I miscarried and it was very difficult. But having my family and friends there to support me threw my difficult time helped me. I am now 11wks 5 days and everyone knew days after I found out.

I would wait until you get your first ultrasound just to make sure everyone is good.

I mean if they see then there's nothing to drop but explain your reason. If they can't understand then they probably weren't going to be one of the first to know.

Definitely wait. I know its really exciting, but its really embarrassing when you anounce it to the family and miscarry. Then later have them ask how the pregnancy is going and relive the fact that you lost the baby. Id tell mom and dad but hold off for everyone else.
