When are you going to announce your pregnancy??

[roke]

Just wondering when you are going to announce your pregnancy (if you haven't already)?  I will only be somewhere between 9 and 10 weeks at Christmas (and not even sure if I'll have an ultrasound by then - as ours is gone for a month).  I don't know if we will announce or not....

Check my profile, this is how I annouced it to everyone, by putting that photo on my son's BLOG... everyone was happy for us.

I announced it when I was 5 weeks, just after getting an ultrasound that confirmed that this was a "viable" pregnancy and not an ectopic (I have a history)

I love that picture of my son!

Well I think we are going to wait to tell people - that is if we can make it through the holidays.....  which I don't think will happen, but it's worth a try.  I have my 12w ultrasound on January 14th, so after that, we will let people know.

My family knows, but no one at work and only my best friend. I am going to tell work after my 12 week appointment on Dec. 16, and then probably just start telling friends, co-workers, etc. after that.

I told my parents and brother. I haven't told the in-laws yet because I had a m/c in June and I don't want to have to tell them that something went wrong again, been through it once and it su-cked.
I have an appointment on Thursday to "confirm" but no u/s.  I think that after I have a successful u/s then I'll feel more relieved and then I can tell people.

Oh yeah.  I have my first ultrasound on december 12th!!!  It seems so far away, but I'll be somewhere between 7 and 8 weeks, so we should be seeing something!

Yes I had an u/s last week, I was 5 wks. The Doctor said everything looked okay at that time. but I was still too early too see anything really. So I'm kinda waiting until my next appt. (12/9)

My friends and most of my moms side of the family know. I have another ultrasound next monday to see if the baby is growing and I will probably muster up the courage to tell my dad's side after that.

I am going to wait till christmas, I will be 3 months then. I told my parents last christmas and I was 11.5 weeks and then I ended up m/c 2 weeks later.

So far my hubby knows and 2 of our friends as they came down for a visit 2 weeks ago and figured it out as I didn't want to smoke or have a drink.

I am extremely nervous about even telling when I am 3 months,

Thanks ladies!  I am still undecided if we will tell....  I'm hoping to get in for an ultrasound before Christmas and if everything seems to be going well, then perhaps we'll tell our parents and let our siblings know after the 12 weeks....

Jen8950 - we are pretty much in the same boat... (except I haven't m/c).  However I am still very scared to tell anybody incase I do.  Have you had your first ultrasound yet?

[Jen8950]

I told my close family members, but I haven't told my work or other people. I'm about 6 wks now approx. I am planning on telling people after or around Christmas. Not sure yet, I am scared to tell in fear that I might m/c. I m/c back in April

[Tasia32]

I told everyone about a week after I found out but that is just because I couldn't wait till 3 months like I wanted to, lol!

[Tiggers81]

I am scared to tell anyone.  I told my mom, husband, and 2 best friends.  But other than that I dont want to tell anyone else.  I am 27, married, with 2 boys and a house of my own.  But with the economy the way it is I am not sure if having another baby is really going to sink us or not.  But I guess you take what God gives you, right??

I have been waiting to say anything due to the m/c I had in sept and had it after I told everyone. I also wanted to wait my mom was diagnosed with lung cancer in oct and just started chemo and radiation today however my mom always knows when I'm pg and asked me and I told her. She feels bad cause she knows how upset I'am and how much stress I'm under. I'm glad she knows but now I hope my pg progresses or she will think she caused anything negative. I have a another u/s on wed so wish me luck.

I told my parents and my Fiance was really excited so I knew it wouldnt be long before the whole world new. By the next week or 2 everyone knew bc we work together. But I feel really good about this pregnance, I had a previous miscarriage at 7 weeks but this one feels different. Hopefully everything stays good. Its up to you on whether or not to tell. When i got pg the first time, I had just turned 18 and just moved in with my boyfriend at the time and I knew my parents were going to freak out. I waited like a weekd or 2 and then I finally told them. THEN just 3 days later I had the miscarriage. I was glad I had them to help me through that emotional time but I also regretted even putting them through the drama. Its a personal choice, just think about if something were to happen is it more important for people to help you through it, or is it easier for no one to know that way you can have your personal closure and move on

I told everyone the day i tested positive. Just me......

I haven't announced mine to my entire family yet. Just my parents, and siblings. I will announce it at Christmas. I'll be 3 months, and pass the scarey part of posible misscarriage, so hopfully i'll feel more comfortable to announce it then. Why haven't you told anyone yet?
