Mamas, when do people announce to the world about our bundle of joy? I’m 12 weeks and had my scan on Thursday and everything was perfect, just this is my first and I get scared but I want my baby to be known to the world

I guess it depends on you really. I have my diagnostic scan on Wednesday but I will wait for my results to come back before we announce… it just depends on what your decision on that outcome would be if it came back high chance…

With my first we told one or two People immediately, a few more after our private scan, and then the world once we had had the 12 week scan. This time round we've told most people already, after we had the private scan at 8 weeks. It's entirely up to you, but I'd think after the 12 week scan is a good time! Xx

I told at 14 weeks with my first . I’ll tell extended family at 12 weeks but no social media this time until 3rd trimester

Told my mum the week I found out, best friend at about 6 weeks, my employers at nearly 9 weeks, family at 10 weeks 😄 I would wait probably until 12/13 weeks and the NHS scan, but I already had a private scan and having 2nd private next week as going to my home country, so it just makes sense to tell my family as I will see them in person.. next time would be summer time at around 25 weeks 😄 or over the phone.. My husband's family will get a cute msg with a scan picture as we don't have time to see them anytime soon due to me travelling and work.

thank you, I had my NHS scan on Thursday so just wondering how long people wait. I know on Thursday everything was perfect but my anxiety still takes over at times 😂🥺

I feel the same! So literally waiting for that next OB-GYN visit like for a mercy 😄 I think the universal advice is to spread the wonderful news whenever you feel ready! And don't let anyone including your partner pressure you. On the one hand I would like to share it already with everyone to explain why am I radio silent on all social media 😄 why am I sooo tired, why am I getting bigger around the waist 😅😅 On the other hand I just worry this news is so precious and fragile!

I get you!! Even though I was told everything was perfect I’m wondering if something has changed in 2 days , crazyyyyyy girl x

I told a few close friends and my sister straight away as I knew I would need support if things didn’t go to plan. Family and wider world will be after our NHS 12 week scan (tomorrow!!). I don’t think there’s a ‘right’ time, just whenever feels comfortable and right for you.
