I'm sorry about your previous loss, thats awful far along for that to happen. I would tell them at 12 weeks. I wish you and your baby the best.

I told a few people straight away and I found out when I was 4 weeks along and i'm almost 3 months now and every one knows... I guess if u have miscarried before it might be better to wait and just tell ur mum or family so if it happens again u have extra support just wait to tell others - Good luck!!

I found out at 6 weeks, I told 1 or 2 close people and then left it till 12 weeks to tell other people. This is when the chances of miscarriage are a lot lower!

Well it is truely a personal preference. But I am so sorry for your previous loss. I know what is feel like to seem like your over the "safe weeks" and then you get passed that and then you m/c. I have been there and it has taken me two yrs to get preg again. What I did was tell ONLY my family and closest friends...then later I will tell others when I at least get to 5 months then I will feel a little safer. So good luck and do what your heart and gut feels. You will be fine! Just relax and do not stress and enjoy the pregnancy! Congrats on this pregnancy!

Wait until your at least 3 months along. The first 8 weeks of a pregnancy is when you have the greatest chance of miscarrying.
So just wait until your 3 months along.
Congratulations.

I had two miscarriages at around 14 weeks and told everyone then you feel terrible when someone doesnt know and asks how far along are you,its not their fault tho. I would wait til 3 months that was my plan with my baby that I have now he is 3 months old now but my Mum was too excited so instead my husband and I went away to celebrate after 14 weeks and it was special,

It all depends on you. There is never a right or wrong time to let others know you are pregnant. Congrats to you. I know you are alittle worried about miscarrying this pregnancy but dont stress yourself out about it. So pick up the phone now and let the people you care about know your great news. Good luck to you.

its hard. If you wait until after 16 weeks it will be hard to hide it !! I would tell people who are close to you now, and tell everyone else after 12 weeks or so.
I lost a baby at 19 weeks in 05, and it took me almost 2 yrs to get pregnant again, so I know how you feel about wanting to burst!!!!

It is an entirely personal decision but "etiquette" says to wait until after your first trimester. The risk of miscarriage goes down after that. Best wishes on your pregnancy and Congrats!!
