When are you telling your family??

[DNP47]

When are you guys going to tell your families about the pregnancy? With my first I told everyone IMMEDIATELY, I was so excited, but I miscarried that one. So with my last 2 I waited until about 14 weeks to tell people. This time around my doctor recommended we not tell anyone until 17 weeks, after I've had my scan, but its going to be hard to wait that long! Especially because at 11 weeks I am already at the pudgy stage (Im normally really thin, so when my belly pooches out..its noticable)

I just have a question. I am 23 years old and married. My husband has 2 other children from a previous relationship and we have a 2 year old son together. My question is that when i got pregnant with my son my mother told me i was crazy and how my husband (then bf) could not take care of 3 kids and that my life was over. Mind you she is a minister. I recently found out that I was pregnant a few weeks before my college graduation and now i am terrified to tell my mother. I just need some advice please!

I had to tell right away and I was scared because im only 17. I was 7 weeks when everyone new. I think its best to tell even if you might have a m/c because you need support and probably just someone to talk to. So its up to you but I'd say go for it anytime.  My parents are now understanding. Im 16w3days

We told family right away but kept it from friends until 14 weeks. The first trimester was very hard and we wanted to wait until things settled down

Im not telling they find outah when they see me..lol... I lost my son about 8 months ago. And every one was shocked and sad when he past. So whenever they see me... They'll see the belly!

I announced at 7 weeks, I told my family as soon as I found out, but waited to tell everyone else until I was comfortable with it

We have an appt at 11 weeks and I think we'll announce after then. Family already knows but friends don't. It very hard after a m/c to decide when but I think we'll be good @11-12 weels! So excited for all of you!

Twins!! How exciting for you:) Seeing the heart beats really help to ease the fear especially after two lost pregnancies. My doctors originally thought I had an ectopic with this one, but it was luckliy due to fluid around the ovary and in the tube (well luckier than the alternative).

I am showing too, I was so surprised to be showing already since I have confirmed with 2 scans that there is only one baby in there, but since I am currently still bleeding slowly into the uterus I am guess I have a little more volume in there than I would otherwise.

I already told my family. I originally wanted to keep it a secret until 2nd trimester because like you I had a m/c back in June after telling some of my family and then an ectopic pregnancy in Oct. However, I am pregnant with twins and I am already showing so there was no way I could keep it a secret. I am now 9w2d and I have been in maternity pants since 7 weeks. I have already had two scans, one at 6w3d and another at 7w6d and both times I got to see my babies heart beats and the 2nd time I even got to hear them. This makes me feel better but my doctor said my next scan is at 12w and that is the one that if everything looks good they are confident it will be ok.
