Too early to tell???

We just found out Monday that we are expecting our first!!! Doctor didnt schedule appointment until Sept 26th. I am about 5 weeks they are estimating.  We ironically enough are seeing both of our families this weekend and cant decide if it's too early to announce. Thoughts/suggestions? Being our first pregnancy we would like some opinions! Thanks!!

I would wait untill you are out of your first trimester ir until you atleast hear the heart beat. I made the mistake of telling my whole family when i was 5 weeks and things didnt turn out so well. Im now 6 weeks and only my boyfriend and mom know. I plan on telling everyone  when I am 13 weeks.

We just found out Monday as well that were expecting. Clear blue test says I'm probably 5-6 weeks pregnant which makes sense since I am so sick and tired this week. Were camping with my parents this weekend so we told them. It's a good thing we did because I don't have to make up excuses when I need to nap or want to sleep all day. It's nice to have that support if something happens and we miscarry down the road. We will tell my husband's parents this week sometime (mine parents are first time grandparents so we wanted to tell them first anyway) we are waiting for a bit to tell our siblings and friends and everybody else.

We told our close family when I got pregnant for the first time. It ended in miscarriage but the good thing about telling is that you get the love and support of your loved ones. That's what family is for!

I told friends and family immediately during both pregnancies because it had taken over a year and I was way too excited not to share. I also would feel better getting the moral support from everyone, if anything did happen. It's allll up to you!

Usually people wait until they hit their 12th week
Miscarriages happen the most before 12 weeks
