Just wanting opinions really, I’m 5 weeks tomorrow and it’s really hard not to tell people. Did everyone tell their family and friends before the first scan or wait please? Thanks ladies xxx

Hey I’m 6 weeks tomoz with my rainbow baby got a scan tomoz too we not telling no one till 12 weeks scan and out the danger zone congratulations 🥂

I wanted to wait for my first scan but I couldn’t lol 😂 I had to tell my mum. I would rather have the support of my family if something unfortunate happened personally 💛

With my first baby I told everyone after I’d had a scan at around 7 weeks! But I’m currently 6 weeks now and having quite a few problems, even though I’ve had a scan and seen baby’s heart beating I’m gonna hold off until 12 weeks! X

Waiting till after 12 weeks but it’s totally your choice what you want to do x

Congratulations! The first time I got pregnant, we told everyone right away but we end up miscarrying at around 9 weeks, right at the time of our 1st scan. This time around we waited until after the 1st scan and told only close family.

You can tell people whenever you want!! Just know, god forbid, if something happens, you are also going to have to tell all those people the bad news… I’ve been there. So just keep that in mind with who and how many people you tell. For me, the second time around I was totally fine with telling my besties and family pretty early on, but everyone else/ sharing publicly I waited a good while!

I think tell people that you would want to know if anything went wrong ❤️

I did with my first pregnancy and had a miscarriage not to be dark but it happens. All 3 of my kids I waited until 12 weeks because of this

We told a few people early, basically we shared the pregnancy with the people we would feel comfortable sharing a miscarriage with, so our best friends, parents, siblings. And then we made a public announcement on social media at the end of the first trimester

i didn't tell no one for the first 3 months til i was past the danger zone x

I told most people straightaway as id rather be supported but gonna share on social media at 8-9 weeks

Hey. Congrats to all the mummas having August babies. I am 5 weeks tomorrow and have an early scan next Friday. I’m still not sure about who to tell and not to tell as Xmas is coming up and I don’t want to appear to be anti social. I would like to wait until the 12 week mark.

I have told immediate family and my two best friends. Difficult to hide the first trimester from family especially if you visit them often, so it's best to be supported x

We miss carried the first so I want to wait but I've told a few people but I'm just hiding away and it feels a bit pants

We’ve told our parents and siblings as soon as we found out at 4 weeks. I’m 6 weeks 3 days now and have a scan in 2 weeks where we will tell the rest of our family that we are close to then extended family and friends after 12 weeks xx

We have told those who we would tell if soemthing terrible happened- so immediate family & trusted friends

I have a 2 year old, and had a miscarriage with my last pregnancy. I told my Mum & sister as soon as I found out with both and I don't regret it. If the worst does happen (hopefully not the case!) you would need them anyway xx

I told everybody close to me about mine because I know if god forbid the worst happens I’ll need a strong support network. I’m only five weeks but I know that I wouldn’t be able to hide the sickness, nausea and extreme fatigue up until 12 weeks either. Me and my partner also need to find a house and move out of our flat before the baby, so the earlier we told our families the more support we can get in those three months in working up to that. It’s so personal to everyone when they tell their loved ones, do what feels right for you ❤️

i’ve told my close friends + some family before 7 weeks because there really is no danger zone! anything can happen at any time & i’d rather have the support x
