I told my mom and dad when i called to get an obgyn appt. They thought i was 5 weeks at the time. I had some bad pain and had to go in for an early appt. I told my doctor i kept trying to tell the lady that took my info i thought i was further along but she wouldnt listen. Well i was right and turned out i was 9weeks. I finally told my sister and my bf's family once we got the ultrasound.

We told family and close friends immediately (7 weeks) because if something did go wrong I wanted support and to be able to talk to others about it. We told everyone else at around 13 weeks

I agree with clb0908. Why not tell your close family - if something would happen then you have more support since it's a really tough situation.

My first I didn't wait I told everyone as soon as I knew. The pregnancy was ectopic and I had to get it removed surgically. Recanting the good news hurt. My second I waited until week 14. All is good ao far :D

Go for it. If something happens, you'll have that many more people to understand why you're upset and care for you. You don't have to make it Facebook official, but go ahead and share the news with family and friends!

We didn't tell anyone until out of the first trimester. Had 2 miscarriages around 9 weeks. Not to mention I have some immediate family who don't know how to keep their pie hole shut. Only tell them things I want the whole world to know. Thus we waited. :)

It's wonderful news. I shared as soon as I found out. Was only about 5 or 6 weeks. I wanted to shout it from the roof top lol.

I told everyone a few days after I found out. I don't think it jinxes it at all :) you should want your families support :)

We told our parents and sisters the moment we found out.  Only told friends and rest of family after 12 Weeks.  I would never have been able to keep it a secret from parents - too exciting.
