What would be the best time to let people know your pregnant? And how should you if your scarred?

I know how you feel. I'm super close to my mom as well and I knew she would support me no matter what. What made me wait so long was that My mom's boyfriend (who Is more like a dad to me) absolutely hates my boyfriend's guts and It took me sooo long to tell 'em I was pregnant 'cuz of that fact and thinkin' they (mostly he) were gonna disown me and not support me. I was crying my eyes out tellin' 'em how much I loved 'em and to not hate me and be there for me 'cuz I need 'em the most. I told 'em exactly how I felt and they told me how they felt. In the end, It went very well and they were mad at me the most for not tellin' 'em sooner. When you get It out, you will feel so much better, trust me. She might be upset, she might be happy, you won't know until you tell her. She's gonna find out eventually and If It does come to worse, would rather have the storm blow over sooner then later. But she's your mother, and If you are very close to her, I think It won't be big of a problem. Let her know how you feel and let her talk to you about It as well. Do It when you think It's right, but try not to wait too long.

I told my mom right away with my daughter because I told her if I ever got pregnant again that she would be the first to know besides my hubby. We did not tell the rest of the family until we knew what we were having. Only because I have a history of miscarriages the same with my son too. I lost my mom earlier this year so I called and told my dad he was upset that we were having another but is happy now just worried about my health is all. Hence why I will be getting my tubes tied after this one.

I'm 13 weeks and still haven't really told anyone. I'm scared too but I know we will have to sooner or later we will start to show eventually! My moms died so I don't really have any advice on telling your mother. I'm scared most about my dads opinion. I don't really care what his girlfriend thinks, just mainly my dad and siblings! I work with both my sisters so when they find out so will all of work!

Most ppl wait until 12w after they have been to the doc and everything looks ok. Unless u r real young and in hs then I would tell a parent ASAP so they can help. if ur scared there's not a whole lot u can do, they will find out eventually. Just sit everyone down like adults. I'm sure the ppl u r telling care about u and even if they aren't happy at first, they will b. Good luck!

I don't know I'm just scarred because what if like my family or friends don't like the fact I'm pregnant I'm mostly worried about my mother I haven't told her because I'm scarred  she will hate me we are really close but we don't live near each other anymore it just scares me to hear what she would say, like not knowing the outcome.

Whenever you feel comfortable & try to make a joke of it to lessen the tension

I think when you hear the heartbeat, as I heard once you do the chance of miscarriage greatly decreases. I didn't tell my family until 4 months since I was so scared to tell 'em too, but It wasn't bad as I thought It was goin' to be. I told my work maybe a week before that.
