when you find out you are pregnant like very early stages, how long do u wait before telling family & friends?

Answer 1

We tried so hard to wait till 12 weeks. My god it is so so hard not to say anything!! We just decided we'd wait till the safe stage just in case something happened then we wouldn't have to go through the details with each person over and over. So anyway, we lasted 8 weeks, couldn't keep it in anymore!! And alls well. Good luck to you and your little bundle of joy :-)

Answer 2

This time we're waiting till we get an u/s so that we can see that everything is ok. Last time we told everyone immediately and then I had a miscarriage about 2 weeks later.

It depends on what you're comfortable with. Some people tell the minute they know and others wait as long as possible.

Answer 3

It isn't a wives tale. Most people choose to wait 3 months because most miscarriages occur in the first 13 weeks. And it's a person's choice to not have everyone know they lost a child and hear "I'm sorry" for the next year. It's a personal choice when to tell, but god forbid losing a child is hard enough without having everyone around you know and look at you like you're broken.

Answer 4

I told my immediate family immediately after I found out but I didn't tell anyone else until I was around 3 months pregnant. I had always heard that miscarriage is most common in the first 3 months so I didn't want to tell everyone and then if I had lost the baby to have people ask me about it and have to explain.

Answer 5

Well it depends on how you feel. It's up to you and your partner. is this something you have been waiting on for a long time? Or is it an unexpected surprise? Take me for example when I found out I was pregnant with my 1st neither me or my husband who was my boyfriend at the time were ready. We were happy but very very shocked. We waited a few weeks to make sure the test was right and for me to see a doctor.Plus it took me that long to get up the courage to tell my parents and his. We were 21 and 22 but still nervous lol.
With this pregnancy we tried for over a year and I had countless doctor apts. I was put on medicine to help me conceive. No one knew we were trying But as soon as I got a positive I was happy with. I took about 5 different test to make sure I was pregnant I told everyone!

Answer 6

Dependa on what you are comfortable with. I would see the doctor first before telling anyone. Then you know there is a risk of miscarriage much greater until 12 weeks. So, if you are able to handle telling even with the risk of losing the fetus then go ahead, you would need the support of those around you anyway and they would want to know why you were so devistated anyway. Telling earlier than 12 weeks is also fun, more time to celebrate!

Answer 7

I found out when I was about 4wks and I told a couple of close friends and the babies father straight away. I started to tell other people at 10-12weeks. Alot of people like to wait til they are 12 weeks as the chance of miscarriage drops significantly at the 12 week point.

Answer 8

I could never wait so I would tell them as soon as I was certain about the pregnancy. With the second one though, I just told my family and some very close friends. It was less exciting than the first one when I wanted to tell eveyrone I met.

Answer 9

We told our family and friends soon as we found out. I know they say to wait 12 weeks, but we are close to our family and friends, so God forbid something had happened, we would have plenty of support. So we wanted to tell everyone so they could share the joy with us. (Not to mention, my mother has been "baby shopping" since the day we told her. :)

Answer 10

Usually you tell people after about 3 months, because that is the miscarriage safezone. I have always told like my mom, my husband, our best friends before then, but with my miscarriage history, everyone else waits. Good luck with your pregnancy!
