Is it too soon to tell everyone?

Question

I'm 7 weeks, almost 8 weeks and my family already knows. I’m so excited I want to tell everyone! Do you think its too soon, What’s the harm in telling everyone right now? I've had absolutely no complications so far.

Answer 1

I told everyone as soon as I found out with all of my children, but I'm also the kind of person who would tell if I had a miscarriage. It's all about what you want people to know. If something happened, would you want everyone to know? It's definitely a personal issue. Congratulations!!!

Answer 2

If you feel comfortable enough to shout it through the rooftops, then do so!!! It's all up to you. Some women prefer to wait until after they've gone through their first trimester (12 weeks), but like I said, it's totally up to you. I couldn't wait when I found out. I wanted to tell my family first and that's why it was a little delayed, but as soon as the family knew, I gave my best friend the ok to spread the word. I believe I was about 9 weeks along by that time.

Congratulations and good luck!!!

Yeah it is definately too soon to tell everyone. If you want to tell someone tell your best friend that's all. Alot of miscarriages happen before 3 months. So it's best to wait till you're 3 months pregnant.
If for example you did tell everyone like your entire family that you're pregnant, they might get their hopes up too soon and start buying you baby clothes and toys and everything. And then what if there is a miscarriage? Then what are you going to tell them? That's why it's best to wait.
When my friend first got preggars, she wanted to shout to the world. I told her "No don't do that! Wait till your 3 months pregnat because a lot of miscarriage happen before then" and she is an impatient person. she's the kind of person that when you give them a christmas present early, she will unwrap it in front of you, as soon as she receives it. Anyway she didn't listen to me and told everyone in her family and the word spread around really fast. In the end, she had a miscarriage at 10 weeks. She regretted telling everyone. Miscarriages can happen even if women even if they're healthy and my friend was healthy.

Answer 4

Congratulations on your pregnancy! In general, I've heard that women should wait until the end of the first trimester to start telling others. This is generally considered to be the "safer zone." If you are employed, be sure to tell your supervisor before you tell your co-workers. Good luck and again congrats. 2007 is a great year to be born.

So feel FREE to express your emotions the is nothing to hide or to be ashame ,...... Again congratulations and best wishes have a helathy and fun pregnancy ENJOY it !!! :)

Answer 6

I`ve had to miscarriages, one at 5 weeks and one at 8 weeks after I had told every body..When I got pregnant w/ my son I waited until 12 weeks to tell anybody (besides hubby and bf) I`m 11 weeks now and my appointment is for next week. I`ve only told hubby , bf, and my parents...It`s your choice though..Had I not experienced it I would probably be standing in the street screaming "I`m pregnant!!!". Good Luck!!

Answer 7

tell human beings whenever you desire. it truly is by no ability too early. With my first I informed all of us as quickly as i found out at 7 weeks. With my 2nd I informed all of us whilst i replaced into approximately 5 weeks. With the 0.33 I saved it a secret till human beings guessed it ( i wanted to make certain how long it would take for them to parent it out) on the start my sister-in regulation replaced into such as you're turning out to be fat! thank you sis! Lol. Then at approximately 6 months they figured it out. With the fourth (presently 36 weeks) i found out i replaced into pregnant at 14 weeks and that i informed my family individuals surprising away yet my husband waited to tell his family individuals till i replaced into approximately 23 or so weeks.

Answer 8

I don't want to scare you, but I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks and thank God I didn't tell anyone I was pregnant. I saved myself a lot of pitiness and "i'm sorries". If a pregnancy is healthy, you'll have your baby and it doesn't matter if everybody knows about it. If I was you, though, I'd wait until I'm 14 weeks, just in case.

Good luck!!!

Answer 9

yes go ahead and tell everyone, because, God forbid if something happens to the pregnancy, you want all the support you can get, even might need time off from work, So honesty is the best policy...

Answer 10

I told everyone!! My sister on the other hand waited to tell everyone at the end of the first trimester. It's your choice. If you want to tell go for it!!
