Announcing pregnancy

I announced it 2days after when I’ve found out you don’t need a scan photo to announce it xx

I told my best fiend straight away 😄 I will have an early scan on week ten (7th Jan) after than I will announce it to my parents and close family. First official NHS scan on week 13 (27th Jan), after this we will be announcing it to his family and friends. But really you do you and announce it whenever you feel it :)

Told our family about 12 hours after getting the positive test. Announced to the world at 6 weeks. We were happy and wanted to share the joy. We don’t believe in the “12 week safe zone” and would prefer the support had we been unlucky. Do what makes your feel happy and comfortable

We asked ourselves who we would want to know, if we needed support and told them around 7 weeks. People we were close to we waited for the 12 week scan.

With my first immediate family were told when I found at (I was around 7 weeks) and we announced on social media after out 12 week scan. My 2nd we announced to immediate family at 5 weeks and didn't bother announcing on social media. It depends on what you want to do x

We told family kind of straight away coz it was a 5 year trying and a round of IVF so all our family knew about IVF but if I didn’t have IVF I probably would’ve kept it to myself abit more longer x

Waited for 12 week scan. Midwife couldnt get any measurements. So we waited to tell everyone and were booked in yesterday and am now able to tell everyone at 14 weeks.

I found out New Year’s Eve last year, I told my best friend same day as we work on a maternity unit together and knew she’d look after me , also my dad and father in law as neither of them live in the UK, my father in law actually stuck in Sudan which is a war zone and I wanted him to have something to look forward to that was positive. My mum and siblings and 2 out of my 4 sisters in law I told at 13 weeks, chose to keep it from everyone else. My MIL was told when I was 30 weeks with the agreement she doesn’t tell anyone, resulting in her announcing it 😂

@Berylann my other reason for not sharing was because I had a miscarriage a few months before, so didn’t want to share it with loads of people and have it happen again to have to go back and tell them, also had a high risk pregnancy. Ultimately you do what you feel is right. Also congratulations 🥳

@Maryanne I did the rounds of IVF also but no one knew, my miscarriage was IVF baby and was my last embryo. My pregnancy after was natural contraception

I told close family and friends when I found out at 4 weeks. I had to tell a few work colleagues as some of my job involves lifting heavy objects so needed to for my own safety. We announced to everyone else after I had my 12 week scan, as I didn’t want to have to tell explain to loads of people if we had bad news. Just do what makes you feel happy and comfortable. ❤️

I announced it around 4 weeks this time, completely depends how comfortable you are as I didn’t announce until 7 months with my first 🫶

Its totally up to you and what you feel most comfortable with. I told close family at around 14 weeks after we had the scan and blood results back. If I had another, I’d probably tell close family a bit earlier just in case anything went wrong and we needed support.

We told close friends and family as soon as we knew (around 5-6w), as we were so excited after trying for 7 years. We did the ‘announcement’ after the 12w scan when we had the all clear at the scan. Im not superstitious or anything just wanted to know we’d got to that milestone before telling extended friends/family/colleagues on social media. My SIL had an early scan and announced it at 8w - each to their own! Tell people when you want to hun! Xx

If you’re waiting to announce until you’re in the “safe zone” there really is no perfect time to announce, we announced when we were 12 weeks, went to our gender scan at 16 weeks had our gender reveal party then my waters broke prematurely resulting in me having a miscarriage we had to tell everyone the awful news Will only tell close family now Do whatever makes you happy its such an exciting time 🧡

@J aww I’m so sorry that happened ❤️

@Elisha congratulations lovely xxx
