sharing the news!
My husband wants to share the news that we are finally pregnant (after a long year of trying) on my birthday - March 15th. I'll be 12 weeks 5 days. Our appt to hear the heartbeat isn't until March 26th though. Do you think it would be okay to tell everyone before we hear the heartbeat?

Your risk of miscarriage drops quite a bit after 12 weeks, if you're healthy and haven't had any issues/ previous pregnancies that were lost, I think you're fine! I didn't wait till' 12 weeks lol it's juay a personal decision ...they tell you to wait just in case that way IF there's a problem you don't have to tell anyone...personally I didn't care be cause I would have told my family anyway . Sorry for the book I just wrote you and CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
I couldnt stand the wait lol we found out at about 6 weeks was gonna wait for my dr appt and the official you're pregnant i made it a week and started bawling lol so hubby picked up the phone and started calling people then i went most people wait til 12 weeks??! :o some times i wish i could have waited a little longer and had peace lol first grand baby on.both sides so grand parents are a little psycho lol
My fiance told everyone at four weeks and three days... as soon as we found out Soooo twelve weeks seems like a long time
YAY CONGRATS on ur baby. I told everyone as soon as I got a positive test. i was only 5 weeks, whenever you feel comfortable telling people you should.
Thanks ladies!! You're all awesome.
At 12+5 you should be fine to tell your family.
congrats that great news xx
I waited til I heard the heartbeat before I told my family but the reason I chose to do that was because I miscarried back in October and I told everyone about the pregnancy before hearing the heartbeat and then we lost the baby. But I think your safe at this point! However, if you feel better not saying anything until you hear the heartbeat, then your hubby should understand. :) and congrats!
Totally! Your family and friends should be able to share this wonderful news with you two. Congratulations and good luck telling everyone!
