Pregnant for first time. So super excited. How do I not tell everyone? I'm feeling better after nausea from week 6

It is a personal decision! If you want to tell everyone...do that! However, you must ask yourself if you would feel comfortable telling those same people if something horrible happens that terminates the pregnancy. Personally, I let immediate family know with all 3 pregnancies by 8 weeks. I knew all of these people would be a comfort and I would WANT them to know if something horrible happened so I would have that support!

I had an ultrasound at 7 weeks as assisted reproduction. Saw heartbeat. Told mum n dad the next day and a couple of close friends. I'm holding off telling work til 12 weeks as u say it's less ppl having to tell if things go wrong. I just mean OMG it's so exciting I wanna blurt it out. That's what I'm finding hard xxxx

I would tell immediaite family n maybe your bestest closest friend who I can trust with your life,  

The most chance of misscarriage which ends week 12, so most people wait to tell everyone else then,

Plus you'll prob get morning sickness among other symptoms so telling iimmediate family they can help u!

I told immediate family at 4 weeks but waiting until week 13 to tell everyone else. It's up to you! I just though if something went wrong I wouldn't have the heart to explain it to all my coworkers and on social media. My first ultrasound is at 10 weeks as well and I want that confirmed before our big announcement. Congrats!
