When did you announce on social media?

We announced literally after our 12week scan, although we wanted to tell everyone from the moment we found out 🤣 do it whenever you feel like it honestly

I still didn’t announce and Iam 38 weeks😂😂 I feel like it’s best to tell when baby is already here too many bad eyes out there

I had to announce my pregnancy 12 weeks and after bc I wasn’t sure if anyone would send bad juju on me or if anyone wished anything bad happens to me and my baby before 12 weeks!! And on top of that make sure my family doesn’t put stress or pressure on me in the beginning bc it does matter!! I was also excited at first when I found out but it isn’t worth the risk ❤️✨

When I got my 1st ultrasound at 6w2d

i waited until 20 week anatomy scan, just so we knew all was going well with baby

We told everyone as soon as we found out but posted on social medial after the 12 week scan.

Announce it when you want beaut, there is no right or wrong. The fact that people assume you should wait until at least your 12 week scan really grinds my gears. I told some friends and family at 5 weeks and had to tell work not long after too as I was so nauseous and exhausted. I had comments like "oh, you're not 12 weeks yet then" 😤🙄 if you wanna tell people, you tell people ❤️❤️

@Shelley haha yes see that's what I'm worried about i don't want all my coworkers to know before all my friends and family. I've been having acid reflux for weeks and hardcore nausea the past few days and I work in the deli/bakery of Walmart. The smell of raw chickens and deli meat is making me absolutely sick! And I want to ask to be put primarily in bakery

I told my family and friends right away!!! Bc I was so excited! But it’s good to have the extra support also! I didn’t post anything to social media until I was 14 weeks but my fiancé posted on his page at 10 weeks because he was so so excited!!!

We told family around 12 weeks after the scans all showed everything was going okay. So then I told my workplace around 14 weeks so we then did social media after that.

Announce when you want, every baby deserves to be known and loved. If I was announcing it I’d have done it as soon as I missed my period

It’s really personal, no right answer. I told my best friends a day after the positive test. And then gradually told more people as time went on. I really loved having those one on one or small group conversations. You don’t get to share the moment the same way if they find out from a social media post. You’re not there to see their initial reaction. I held off posting on social media until after the 20 week anatomy scan.

In person told people close to use after a few weeks but didn’t post on social media until 20 weeks scan. Our first pregnancy ended in miscarriage so we wanted to make sure baby’s development looked healthy and viable

It’s never too early, if you want to tell people now then tell people. There are no rules. ❤️

As everyone has said, it’s very personal. I didn’t post on sm till after 12 weeks with both of mine but with the first so many knew already. From 4 weeks I was mentioning whenever an opportunity came up because I was so excited 🙈 with baby 2 we still told family straight away but most others (friends/colleagues) were at at least 10 weeks just because that’s when I went back to work/ started seeing people again. I’d hate to keep a miscarriage ‘to myself’ so don’t agree with the 12 weeks xx

It’s totally a personal decision on when you feel comfortable. I told my best friend at around 8 weeks and my parents at 12 but I haven’t posted anything on social media and won’t do so until after he’s born. So it fully depends. To me I felt comfortable sharing with close family and friends but didn’t care to blast it for random folks or people from high school to know 😂😂

19 weeks after my 20 week scan x

I had 2 miscarriages and I was so grateful that I told people because I had a huge circle of friends who could relate and who supported me during a difficult time. It’s a personal decision and you should share whenever you and your partner think it’s right!!

After 10 years of infertility and failed IVF, family were told the evening of the positive test and social media was told at 6+1 after our first scan. We wanted to share the news and joy as soon as we found out. We don’t believe in the 12 week “safe zone” as it’s a load of made up bollocks that adds to the stigma and shame of miscarriage and baby loss. Massive congratulations Mama

@Donna Woods not to mention there’s no real safe time to announce. I think all babies should be celebrated !

Announce when you want too. Literally no right or wrong 😊 i personally never put anything at all on social media. If you knew me and were close to me you knew knew was pregnant (ivf). Announced once home from hospital once we had him. 🎊 congratulations x

When he was 2 weeks old :) ❤️

When he was born!

@Kirsty i love that sound every baby deserves to be known and loved ♥️

I was 20 weeks when we announced it on social media, just after my scan! We told people who we are close to before this but that was only after my 12 weeks scan (apart from our parents and close family and friends who we told earlier).

Announce when you’re ready. That said o waited until I was 12 wks, just to be on the sure side.
