Pregnancy announcement

At how many weeks/ months did you announce your pregnancy? I am about 4 weeks pregnant and had a chemical pregnancy in January so kinda scary to announce my pregnancy but would love to hear when you guys announce your pregnancy!

9 weeks for our first (at our wedding) and about 11 weeks for our 2nd. We waited to find out gender from NIPT.

With my second, I was about 10 weeks when we told close family and friends, then i was about 5 months when i told everyone else. I lost 2 babies before my last pregnancy so i was very careful with announcing it. I was always told to wait until after the first trimester to announce it anyways.

So we found out in December and we told my sister, the dad's twin, and a few slect family members. We wanted help surprising both grandmothers. We did Christmas surprises for them both. I told my mom that only the people in the room were aware, so what does she do? Post my announcement on Facebook without warning/telling me. I found out 2 days later. And she got mad at me for not specifically telling her not to announce it. So we had first ultrasound the following week, which established I was 8 weeks along. I wanted to initially wait till 12 weeks, but I was pressured into announcing a few days after the 8 week appointment. A lot of people already knew from my mom, but I don't know what I should have expected from her. She did the same thing with my sister's engagement announcement last May.

so sorry that happened to you ! When my son was born I told my family that I didn’t want to show or share pictures until I was ready and wanted to enjoy the moment! My mom send pictures to her friends and some family members that why I decided when I know my due date I won’t tell anyone since I will be having a C-Section

I’m 26wks and I never announced it. I had a miscarriage in the past. I think I’ll just let people know about the baby once the baby comes out

@Ale I am kind of keeping the name a secret from most people for now. I've specifically told my mom we are NOT Sharing the name until the birth. She's respected it.. for now

I waited 12 weeks for my 3 pregnancies. Just wanted to make sure everything was going ok before I announced them.

I waited til I found out the gender and just sent everyone a pic of the ultrasound that said girl 😂 I think I was about 15 weeks

I told my mom and my best friend immediately. I’m not announcing to other people until after 10 weeks.

Anxiety with the bump.

I’m 36 weeks pregnant and I’ve suddenly developed a massive anxiety around anyone standing behind me. My husband is annoying me so much because even though I’ve told him how it makes me feel, he’s continued doing stuff in our kitchen (that is tiny anyway) and sliding past me to grab things. I know the baby is safe even if I were to bump the bump a little but even the thought of it is still making extremely anxious. How do I cope with this feeling and is anyone else going through the same sort of thing?

Breathless and feeling like I need to be sitting constantly!

Has anyone else been feeling this way as they're getting closer to their due date?

I attempted to change our bedding this evening and had to call my husband for back up as I literally felt like my lungs were going to explode just trying to reach over to put the sheet on.

I'm huffing and puffing just getting my toddler into his pjs, and I was sat down! Like what is going on 😮‍💨🥲

Everything has been check ie bloods etc so I think it's just general pregnancy as I'm now 38 weeks. My bump feels like it weighs about 100lbs 😭

Friends wedding abroad

Hi all. I know this is FTM... But really need advice. I am currently pregnant with baby #2. Only 8 weeks. I didn't want to tell anyone yet, my partner and boss knows (needed for risk assessment reasons annoyingly). My friend is getting married in a remote part of Spain in ~3 months. I've already had a few minor complications, pain, bleeding, vanishing twin... I got preeclampsia last pregnancy and a terrible birth.
I am pretty sure I don't feel comfortable flying and then travelling out to a remote part of Spain during pregnancy. It will just be me and my toddler. I know it's overcautious but I just don't feel comfortable. I'm not even sure if I am going to be classified as high risk pregnancy or not.
How do I handle this? I need to tell her ASAP, but I didn't really want to tell anyone yet as doc told me miscarriage risk is a bit increased with vanishing twin. Any ideas?
