Announcing pregnancy

When I got confirmation from the doctor. Texted everyone.

I’m currently 8 weeks. We’re going to tell everyone after my first appointment next week. Having the ultrasound image is nice

We waited for 12 week scan and then some, so we shared with friends and family week 13-15, still not done a public thing and don't plan to ☺️ I've just told everyone at work (told management at 12 weeks) and I'm 28 weeks 😅 it was fun for a while to watch people stare and try to guess but being too scared to ask 🤭 but now I can't do as much so better everyone knows why I'm "special"

I announced my pregnancy at around 5 weeks. Most of my close family was going out to eat, and I knew I didn't want to post it on social media, so I just told everyone there

We told different people at different times. We told my SIL, mom, BFF, and boss around 5 weeks. We told our immediate families around 13 weeks. We told other close family when we got our NIPT results back at 14 weeks. We told the rest around 16 weeks and posted it on social media around 20 weeks.

I announced mine to immediate family after 6 weeks (had an early reinsurance scan) and I didn’t announce it to social media untill 19 weeks at my gender reveal x

We waited until 12 weeks to announce it publicly and announced to grandparents around 10 weeks. I’m glad we waited for the ultrasound because we got surprised with twins lol!

Told my family and close friends at 7 weeks and announced on social media at 25

I’m 32 weeks and still haven’t formally announced it 🙃

Waited for 20 week scan and we knew for sure that everything was good and healthy and we'd had the test results etc. Had a very early miscarriage year before so didn't want to jinx it

i waited until 12 weeks, but do it whenever you feel like it! don’t let people scare you saying “don’t announce too early” it’s your pregnancy, if you want to announce right away or until the end it’s completely your decision :)

We announced it at 10 weeks to family & 12 weeks to everyone else x

Around 15/16 weeks

I only told my Mum and close friends to start with, then shared with everyone at about 4 months. At work I would advising waiting until you are comfortable with everyone knowing. Confidentiality is not always respected.

I was on a video call with my parents and i told them that i was gonna take a screenshot of us and them (they live in my home country) and as soon as i said “cheese” i said “ “you are gonna be grandparents!” And i took a screenshot of their reaction.. was a lovely moment 🥺

12 weeks, It's more a recommendation from medical providers that by 12 weeks, if everything is okay, then there is a good chance that the pregnancy will continue.” This is because the greatest chance of miscarriage during pregnancy is in those first 12 weeks.

After 12 weeks scan xx

6 weeks my best friends got it out of me. Told immediate family at 12 weeks. Posted on social media at 20 weeks.

With our first we waiting until 12 weeks, with our second we wanted to find out gender etc beforehand and have a little more time for just ourselves so we waiting until 16 weeks x

Literally as soon as I found out

Vomit lots of vomit followed by a 3 year old asking people if they "sick down the toilet too" 🤮😂

We've decided to keep it private till the end and do an announcement during a welcome shower in January after the babys arrival in December .so no baby shower or anything for me ...only our immediate families know nobody else.

Why do people feel the need to post on social media? I don’t think I will, I’ll tell the people who mean something to me face to face. Xx

10 weeks for family and friends 25 weeks for social

Announced to our best friends , my dad / bfs mum dad but not the rest of family yet until 12 week scan

15 weeks

10- 11 for parents and family

30 weeks

told my parents at 20 weeks, who then shared it with the rest of the family. i don't have friends so I'll never do an "announcement". neighbors found out once they could tell i was definitely pregnant and not just bloated lol. bf didnt tell his family until after 30 weeks.

20 weeks

I announced as soon as we found out. I didn’t plan to do it the way I did but I’m still young and I needed the support x

Announced it as soon as I knew. I knew that if anything would happen I would want my family to know about it to be here for me. Baby is now 17 months old 🥹

immediate family immediately, other family and friends 3 months, social media 6 months

Parents and best friend 5 weeks. Everyone else 12 weeks +. I only told my immediate family as if something horrible was to happen they would know and be supportive. So if your telling people early. Make sure you can trust them to support you through any thing that happens xx

We told my parents, in-laws & siblings at 12weeks. Close friends & close family at half way & rest of the family when we sent out baby shower invites 30weeks🤣. Nothing on social media…my husband & I aren’t really into that & we miscarried at 12weeks before so we’re very protective over our baby. Now she’s here & we’re still just in our little bubble. 💕

Sent out postcards with an ultrasound with a little thought bubble 💭 coming out from the fetus saying, “Hi, Nana!” or “Hi, Aunt [name]!” etc.

Around 10 weeks for family as we thought we was actually 14 weeks going off my last period, and then after first scan confirming I was 12 weeks, we announced on social media xx

20 weeks i waited til

I told my family after my 8 week confirmation ultrasound. We’re telling my husbands family tomorrow at 9 weeks. I haven’t decided for sure if I want to do a social media post but it may be on Halloween at 14 weeks or may just be after I give birth lol

Told our parents / siblings literally as soon as we found out at 4weeks! Had to tell work at 8 weeks as I was in hospital with severe morning sickness. Waiting til the 12 week scan to announce it to wider family and friends 🩷

Told the grandparents at 13 weeks after the scan. They’ve obviously told other people and anyone that has actually seen me in real life knows. I’m 30 weeks so I can’t hide it! But not announced it and won’t bother. If you’re not enough a part of my life to be ‘around’ then there’s no need. We’ve not announced anything on social media and probably won’t until baby is here.

21 weeks

12 weeks x

We told parents and siblings at 10-weeks, we tried to hold on until after the scan but a family emergency came up so needed to tell sooner. Then a handful of close family and friends after 12-week scan and announced at 24-weeks after our last holiday as 2. We wasn’t going to announce it and just let everyone see and find out for themselves but my husband’s family live in Ireland (we are in the UK) so it meant we could just tell everyone at the same time 😊
