I told my parents and his parents immediately...well I should say we told....but everyone else had to wait til about the 10 week point. My bestie knew sooner, but not my siblings or his. Waited another 2 weeks to do my Facebook post. I say do whenever you feel comfortable. I have a threatened miscarriage at 6 weeks and 2 months before this one sticking, I had a chemical pregnancy. I understand the fear, but we can't live in that fear. So pick when you are ready. That's the right time.

I told close friends and close family once baby was confirmed with ultrasound since I had a mc a day before I conceived and the rest once I had my anatomy scan at 19 weeks even though u could clearly tell I was prego.

I just told a couple people. Not many. Wanted to keep it close in case of any unfortunate ending. I finally told people around my 11 the week by uploading an ultrasound and either emailed it or sent it thru a text. And for family I made copy of their ultra sound and pit it in a frame and gave them as gifts. Its was awesome seeing and reading all responses. First people I told were the wonderful women on this site! Lol. Congrats!
