I know some people tell right away and others wait until the end of the first trimester. I was just wanting some input on when to tell.

Well, when I was pregnant we waited until the end of the first trimester. Most people do this because before the end of the first trimester there is a higher chance of losing the baby. If you have had a history of miscarriages or if they run in your family, I would wait until the end of the 1st trimester. If this is your first or youve already had a child then I would just wait until after the OB/GYN confirms the pregnancy (as opposed to a home test) and then I would share the news. I know its hard to bottle it up sometimes, you just want to be sure that it's healthy because the bad thing is telling everyone you're pregnant and then having a miscarriage, it only adds to the grief. God bless your little bundle!

I announced it to my family first when I was 7 weeks pregnant.

It was harder to hide it from my co-workers though because I was, and still am, terribly sick with morning sickness; but it occured all day long and I would sometimes vomit in the parking lot after I ate lunch. I experienced all the symptoms to the max and people started to ask me if I was pregnant. I was going to wait until I was 3 or 4 months to tell my co-workers and friends, but I had to at the same time I told my family because of this.

I also heard that you could jinx it if you didn't wait until you were 3 or 4 months because that it the time that you have the highest probability of a miscarriage occuring.

It is entirely up to you and the father when you announce your pregnancy. Before the means to determine pregnancy was so accurate a lot of people waited several months just to be absolutely sure. With today's tech. we can know positively in just a matter of a few hours.

If you have had trouble with pregnancies in the past...maybe waiting until 12 weeks would be good. I know that I wouldn't be able to wait that long...I told close family and friends at 6 weeks.

i told everyone as soon as i found out, but people told me to tell after the first trimester because it is the most critical of when you can miscarry, but i was too excited i couldn't wait to tell everyone.

We were so excited we told everyone as soon as we found out! We were about a month along.

We bought baby frames and put a piece of paper inside
please fill with my picture on the estimated due date!

well mose people tell after the first trimester because that is after most of the chance of loosing the fetus has past.

You announce your pregnant when you want to because that is your joy that you get to do......anytime.....I told my family and friends the minute I found out I was pregnant each time(3 to be exact)
