When did yall announce your pregnancy?

Hey! I’ve recently found out I’m pregnant again (literally almost 5 weeks lol) and it’s SO hard to keep it a secret. I’ve heard it’s “bad luck” to announce early and it’s made me anxious even though I don’t really even believe in that. When did yall start telling people you were pregnant?

Twinses I only told my support system Last pregnancy I waited till my 3rd trimester

@Jewelz true! I told people last time between 1st trimester and 2nd. I’m just so anxious idk🙃

I told everyone who’s going to know as soon as I found out or when I spoke to them. I haven’t said anything on social media, etc. and no plans to. My first pregnancy was a late IUFD at 20+ weeks so I no longer buy into the “waiting” rule. If something happens, I want my support people to know without breaking the news and heartbreak in one. Just my way of handling it.

I’m not publicly announcing until 23 weeks but I told close family and friends at 12 weeks

20 weeks 😅

16 weeks

With my first pregnancy, almost immediately. I’m now pregnant with baby #2 due in December (37 weeks) and I’m announcing it tomorrow 😅 but close family and friends knew beforehand.

@s a r a 🥀 that’s good! And congrats! Idk why I’m so anxious about telling my family and friends so soon. I want them to know but I think I’ll wait until the first appt at least. I probably won’t tell others until they see me out with the new baby😂😭

Thank you! It’s honestly peaceful this time around because not everyone knew I was pregnant. With my first pregnancy, we were living with my mother in law and felt overwhelmed overall with just having the bedroom as our space. But now that we have our own space, it’s honestly nice and the kids can play and do whatever they want because my mother in law would not tolerate it if it was at her house. She’d have anxiety attack 😅 I would just wait until the first appointment/ultrasound to announce. I try to keep it a secret with both family but they always suspect something so can’t really hide anything from them unless we don’t see them at all and come up with some excuses 🤣

I told everyone right away, it’s not bad luck people just say to wait usually until the second trimester just in case you have a miscarriage or something else goes wrong but I’m a very open person so that wasn’t a factor I felt I had to consider because I don’t mind telling friends/ family about the good bad and ugly and honestly if I had a miscarriage would probably lean on support of many of those people as well

@Autumn I get that! I will probably tell those close to me so I have that support too! Because I can’t imagine being sad with no one to lean on

I told family at like 10 weeks and socials at 6 months!

14 weeks

3 months

We told family the day of the positive test and announced on social media at 6 weeks when we saw a heartbeat on the scan
