Im not worried about any superstitions or anything like that. Im only asking because a friend that I had told said she thought it was best to wait until the 3rd month to tell people but I just couldnt wait. I just found out like last week and am only about 5 weeks along or so. I told 3 of my friends and my mom and hubby. I also told one of my co-workers who I am friends with but told her I didnt want everyone else to know so....I have 2 other children and was unsure when to tell them. I wanted to tell them after I go to the doctors this Friday but am not poitive about that yet. I know it is so early but was just too excited.....

As soon as you find out, why wait to spread the GREAT news!!! I know some people wait until the chance of miscarriage is over but if your family does not know you are pregnant I think it would make it hard for them to comfort you if something was to happen. I say let everyone in on the news and that way you all get to go through the ups and downs together and they can help you get throu those first few hard months.

If you've had other successful pregnancies and no miscarriages, you may feel more comfortable telling earlier. Not telling earlier isn't about superstition, its about the difficulty of "untelling". So if the person you are considering telling is someone you would want to know about a miscarriage then there is little reason not to tell early. Co-workers, extended family and aquaintences, you often wait longer.
I had to tell my employer pretty much as soon as I found out because I worked at a vet clinic and could no longer do some of the minor duties (such as cleaning litter boxes for the cats who were there for a while, or helping restrain animals for X rays) and didn't want to akwardly avoid things for a couple of months waiting out the "window". But that was an unusual case.

I told certain ppl right away I just couldnt hold back but other's I waited till I was close to 3 months pregnant or 3 months pregnant
3 months or a little after is normally when ppl tell ppl cuz ur chances of miscarrying go down
I would say whenever u feel like u wanna tell someone thats up to u

When ever you feel comfortable telling them. You won't start to show until at least week 16, so you could have some time (depending on how far along you are now).
Many people wait until after week 12 because that's when the risk of miscarrige goes way down. Others, like myself, get so excited and start making phone calls right after the test comes up with two lines on it.
It's really up to you girl. Good luck!!!

My husband was so excited that he told the family immediately. I will say though that my brother-in-law told his parents when his wife got pregnant and told them not to tell anyone until after the 1st trimester was over. They told everyone immediately. Remember, when you tell someone, it will spread like wildfire.
Family you could wait until your first appt. That is 2 months. I wait to tell work at 3-4 months. You want to give them time to find a replacement, but you also need to consider if you will be coming back.

you've an exact to be dissatisfied consisting of your chum for telling because you requested her now to not and he or she did it besides. Especialy dealing with a being pregnant...it truly is rather own for you right this moment and persons have diverse causes as to why they could fairly shop it below wrapps for a lengthy time period, espcially even as it is composed of paintings and co workers! Your chum must have respected that. And its glaring she knew more effective because your co worker is appearing like she change into also advised now to not say something about it. you want to communicate about this consisting of your chum andlet her understand that you're dissatisfied about it. Congrats on the infant tho!!

When you are comfortable with telling them. Some people prefer to wait until the window for miscarraiges decrease. This also makes it less akward for people who are maybe just acquaintances to know how to approach you if you were to miscarry and had already told them you were pregnant.
Then again, it's nice if you can tell close friends or family about it ASAP because good or bad, they make a wonderful source of support and you'll need it!

The first time I was pregnant I told people at 8 weeks...I lost it. It was pretty terrible for me, and for the people who asked how it was going and I had to tell them that I lost it...it was like losing it all over again. The next time I got pregnant I told people at the "safe" time of 3 months

some people like to wait till after 3 months because the risk of misscarriage is dropped a great percentage. BUT... i told my family as soon as i found out. Call me crazy, but ive always thought it was something to be happy about and celebrate about not hide from the world. But again, its a personal choice.
good luck!!!

If your worried about superstitions than I would say 3 months, after the first trimester. Otherwise just wait til you know for sure.
Congratulations if you are.
