We are going to get a calendar for our inlaws and for October put the picture of the ultrasound and circle the date 🤣 we have our 8 wk ultrasound on Tuesday and they leave on vacation tomorrow until Friday. I told my best friend the day I found out I was preggo though. My wife recently told her closest friends last week and this weekend. I told my family via text when I hit 6 weeks.
My husband and I are waiting until after the 12-16 week mark to share with parents and probably 20-24 weeks before sharing with immediate family (siblings, nieces, nephews). As much as we want to have others share in the joy— we want to protect our baby and this journey from any potential negative energy from others. Even friends won’t know until after 24-28 weeks. Not everyone wishes others well even if their words say they are. I’d rather keep my baby safe from others projections. Maybe I’m being over protective, but it feels like the mom in me protecting my baby.
@Nadia I agree with this so much! I never announced my daughter because I'm a huge believer in not everyone wanting the best for me. After so many losses and so many years, I felt like I just had to. She's a happy and healthy 1 year old now.
We told our parents right away and of course my best friend knows. I also told my sister since she’s doing ivf and she starts the egg transfer when I get my first ultrasound next week at 10 weeks and didn’t want to take that away. I have an 8 year old bonus son he will find out next weekend after the ultrasound and the rest of the family will know after that.
I told my sister the second it happened every time, pregnant 3 times 1 MMC. And this time after the miscarriage I decided I was going to tell everyone because I told them all about the miscarriage and wanted to share the joy with them if I was going to have to share heartbreak again. I told my mom and grandmothers the week I found out and then my other family members around 7 weeks. My husband told his parents at 7 weeks and we still haven't shared with his extended family.
We have parents on opposite coasts and wanted to tell them at the same time. We also happened to be traveling to Germany with my in-laws around 8 weeks so we decided to FT with them and them all at the same time. I’m telling my brother and BIL in person this week (10 weeks), and I told one friend because I had to keep flaking on her due to nausea lol. We’re probably going to tell the rest of our family around 12 weeks :) not sure about friends yet tbh might wait longer!
I told aa few family the rest will just see a bump they talk to much crap🤣🤣
same here girl, two very early miscarriages and decided to tell our families after the first ultrasound at 7 weeks. i wanted to celebrate and bring as much positivity and well wishes to the baby from family as possible! going to announce to everyone else at 12 weeks
