Is 9 weeks too early to announce pregnancy on social media?

12 weeks is normally the safe point :) I found it so hard to keep quiet but after my 12 week scan I uploaded a photo of it x

At least 12 weeks I'd say

You should be able to announce whenever you feel ready. Anything can happen throughout pregnancy is the way I saw it! I announced around 10 weeks, but do what’s best for you 🥰

Honestly you’re never fully safe until your baby gets here. I’ve always announced after I’ve gotten my genetic testing back and had my first anatomy scan. However there’s still plenty of abnormalities that can be found at a 20 week scan so many opt to wait all the way until then. It’s ultimately up to you and your comfort levels should anything happen. Some like to have the support of friends and family during a loss, some prefer to navigate it privately. Each perspective if valid.

I would announce to those close to you that you can lean on during pregnancy regardless of the outcome.

It’s all all down to personal preference but I wish I told more of my friends before I miscarried my first at 11 weeks but glad I didn’t announce it on socials for those that didn’t need to know at that point.

Again all down to personal choice. X

I havent announced mine and im 20 weeks pregnant for the sake of my mental health and prosperity of my pregnancy iam waiting til im 25 weeks but it is your choice . But CONGRATULATIONS 🎊

You are never completely safe and there are no rules only superstition. I announced earlier than 12 weeks but only because I knew I would be ok explaining if anything happened but if you wouldn’t want to then maybe hang on.

I mean everyone found out about my first before or around 6wks (spiteful friend went and told everyone). Most of my family don’t even know I have a second baby (well he’s 1 now) and I’m pregnant again…

Not at all. We announced at 6 weeks.
I’m sorry to say but there is no “safe zone”. Whilst the chances of miscarriage decrease at 12 weeks, the chance isn’t 0 at any point.
The whole idea of “12 week safe zone” just adds to the stigma and silence of miscarriage as a whole.

If you want to announce it, then announce it babe. It’s better to have a village for support than suffer alone or in silence if the worst were to happen.

All babies deserve to be celebrated and loved, so I don't think it's ever too early to announce!

My first I didn’t announce at all- I just posted a photo once he was born! Everyone couldn’t believe I’d hid it so well! My second we announced after my 12 week scan as I wanted to see a heart beat and have everything checked first x

we announced our second at 9ish weeks after a private scan😊 i wouldn’t have hidden anything even if i did miscarry, loss babies still deserved to be known and remembered

I say 12 to 16 weeks is safer , I didn't say anything till I was 21 weeks on social media but I told family when I was 14ish weeks that I'm close to n let them tell others who I didn't have their number to pass the word on to them n let them know my number ( I lost alot of numbers cuase of old phone breaking )

I’d go with 15-16 weeks but that’s just me

Announce whenever you wish. We didn't with our second pregnancy which ended in a loss. I found it really hard to have the whole conversation and looking back I wish people had known the first before before sharing the bad news.

Too early

It's a personal choice. Honestly. Some people don't announce at all, some announce before 12 weeks. They say 12 weeks because that's when the miscarriage risk drops so you don't have to tell people you miscarried. I also feel there is something incredibly important about normalising discussion around miscarriage instead of pretending you're not pregnant. Going through trauma and not saying a word because it's just "not spoken about".

You announce whenever you’re ready!

If you don't want to have to potentially announce a miscarriage on social media too, then the "safe" (er) point to announce on social media is after 12 weeks. It is 100% up to you. It is your pregnancy share it with whoever you want at whatever point you are comfortable with

You announce it whenever you want to. Don’t listen to anyone who tells you otherwise.
Do you think if you miscarried that the fact you announced is what would be the thing you’d concentrate on? The idea that we keep a pregnancy a secret in case we miscarry is why miscarriage is still so taboo.

Anything can happen at any point in your pregnancy, people saying 12 weeks is safe is silly.

I’ve had multiple miscarriages and I hate that people didn’t know. It was like my pregnancy didn’t happen. I never got to tell people I was pregnant and I hate that all those moments were taken from me.

This is my first and I basically didn’t announce it but I started posting preggo memes. People eventually caught on and that was like week 10

🙌🏽🙌🏽 you said it so much better than I did. The “safe zone” is a ridiculous concept and adds to the stigma and shame around miscarriage.

I’m so sorry for your losses ❤️

Announce whenever you want to, if you want to keep it small to start just announce to family but if not just do it

I’m 18 weeks and still haven’t announced my pregnancy. Only those close family and friends that I see knows.

Spot on. People act like we weeks is this miraculous marker when anything can happen right up until birth and after. I know two women that miscarried at 23 weeks. Plus, this not telling anyone until 12 weeks often means you spend the worst point without any support network. I told my close family members as soon as I took the test because I figured, I'm going to need theor support and if the worst happened, I wasn't about to keep it from them and let us suffer alone.

Do whatever you’re comfortable with! I never announced my pregnancy on social media, but I did announce the birth of my baby 😅

Girl! I was telling people at 5 weeks. There were some Debbie downers telling me not to flaunt it because it was so early "that anything could happen" she was just bitter because she miscarried. Tell the whole damn world and then some! Good luck on your pregnancy journey, hun! I pray for nothing but health for you and your bundle of joy!

Announce when you want, but I tell family after 12 week scan and social media after abnormalities scan around 20 weeks. X
