My doctor recommended after 12 weeks since chance of miscarriage goes down then. I decided to tell my family at around 6 weeks. Too excited! Plus is misscarage were to happen I'd want them as a support system.

My parents knew before I told them haha I was living 6 hours away at the time but saw them the night before. After 3 positive tests we called them to tell them and they were like 'yeah we thought so" haha my partners mum cried coz she was so happy. We waited until after a scan to make sure the baby was ok to tell everyone else. Everyone knew at 6w, but I'm only just feeling comfortable throwing it out there in convos at 12w 4d
