Announcing your pregnancy too soon?

[Omgrachie]

How long did you wait to tell your immediate family that you were expecting. I will be 7 weeks on NYE and will not see a dr until 8 weeks. Is that too soon to tell my immediate family as in my parents and siblings?

I'm thinking I would want them to know even if I did miscarry.i would want their support.  But then, I'm not so sure how long they could keep their mouths shut. I dnt want anyone else knowing until 2nd trimester. I really wanted it to be a holiday too. The closest holiday afterwards would be valentines day. guess I could do that.

i told my mother right after 10 mins of my test. but then i told my family after 4 wks and 2 days. but ended up with MC at 8wks. my family kept telling me not to tell anyone. but i was really excited and wanted to share my happiness with everyone. unfortunately it did not happen. :). but i learnt one thing next time if i got pregnant i will be telling after atleast 14wks. because if i have MC before that i won't have to go through embarrassment and pain.

I always call my mom, grandmother and brothers when I get a BFP and have had one miscarriage and their support really helped me, I don't regret telling them it made them understanding of why I didn't want to talk or even leave my house for two weeks.

If I get my BFP this week or beg of next I plan on telling my immediate family at Christmas ( I will have to come up with a creative way to tell them) and I will ask them to refrain from telling anyone or facebooking until after i make it public knowledge at 12 weeks ( I know this will be hard for my mom but it would be my request)

We told our close friends and family right away. If something had happened to the pregnancy, I knew I would need the support and not be able to carry around that kind of hurt in silence. I think it just depends on your personality. I am an emotional person. At least I know myself right? And I'm sure you know yourself to. Go with what you feel. There are no rules.
