when did you announce baby ?

[bianmomma]

so I was wondering when some of you announced baby , I've had a previous miscarriage and everyone already knew we were expecting So I don't want to announce to early but am so anxious because I feel everything has been going great and baby is doing great . I'm 13 weeks 4 days today had a miscarriage at around 12 weeks according to LMP .

We told family at 9 (I told his sister when we found out at 6 weeks though! So that someone knew, and if any accident or emergency happened someone would be aware) and I'm 20 weeks. I figure if you have had your first ultrasound you are in the clear, at that point they generally trillo you how healthy the growth is looking and most of the time your miscarriage rate goes to under 1%!

We told everyone as soon as we found out which was at 4 weeks with my first and 7 weeks with this one

Told family at 5 weeks and made a Facebook post at 6 weeks when I got my first ultrasound. We have men married almost 4 years and everyone knew we were trying for a baby again.

I cant keep it secret. I told my best friends at 5 weeks and i told my family after my first scan around 10 weeks. I announced it to relatives and general friends around 14 weeks.

[krissy1008]

As soon as we took the test we told we were so excited had been ttc

I told my grandma & bestfriends soon as I found out, but I went public about it at 6 mths & it was only because I didn't want ppl tht I'm not cool with tryna be in my face which ended up happenin anyways & it pissed me off. But whenever you're ready is on you.

I told everyone superrrr late lol they were mad. I was like 28 weeks

[newmama21]

I was with my mom when I found out. She told me to wait until around 12 weeks to tell but she ended up calling so many ppl lol its her first grandbaby so she was excited

[PeachesBattista]

I waited til 12 weeks.. they say thats the crucial but idk..

[lexa_k]

I've told my friends and my family but haven't announced it, and I'm 20 weeks. In my culture (Nigerian) we don't really announce it until the baby has arrived.It's partly out of superstition, but moreso we've already told the news to those who matter.

I announced on FB the day I found out the gender. We told our friends and family after we heard his heartbeat & saw him. Because I've had 2 miscarriages prior to this pregnancy. I was only like 5-6 weeks both times so never had a heartbeat or even could see the baby so once we heard the heartbeat we were pretty confident it was going to stick. Hope everything goes well in your pregnancy! (:

I told a couple of friends and family early but did not tell the rest until around 15 weeks some still don't know and I am 21 weeks

But btw, I think you are at a safe time & I don't think you will miscarry again & you're already at 13wks (past 3 mths!)

[aurora92]

I told my mom & closest family/friends when I first found out.. I told more friends at 14 weeks & then publicly discussed (but not announced) when we found out the gender. I think personally discussing and explaining a miscarriage with everyone would feel uncomfortable for me, so while I like the advide of "why wait?" - it would personally make me feel sad to have to explain over & over.

[bethshahan]

I told close/immediate family first. Somewhere around 17 weeks and I announced to everyone when I found out the sex of the baby. I found out a little later then everyone else because the way my baby was positioned.

[arnitia]

Lol im a Blabber mouth I just couldn't wait I told everyone as soon as I found out which was around 4 weeks . Some people say wait till about 12 weeks.  But I say the choice is yours!

[jinger2]

I told my family around 6 weeks... they say you should wait until after 12 weeks tho. But I agree with @surprisedashell advice. Why wait? Live in the moment.

[surprisedashell]

When I got pregnant I agonized over when to tell people. My close family knew and my aunt had the best advice. She said "Why wait? If something happens 1,2 or 3 weeks from now does it diminish the joy you feel at this moment? Live in the moment and celebrate your news". That was 24 weeks ago :) I'm almost 30 weeks now.

[Dustysgirl2012]

i did around 16 weeks

[lexi915]

I'd say 16 weeks that's what we did so we could announce gender at the same time :)
