When did you tell someone you were pregnant?

I'm pregnant with my 2nd child. I literally just found out today! I'm so excited and nervous at the same time. I wanted to tell SOMEONE but it's so close to Christmas, I'm going to keep it a secret from friends and family until Christmas Day. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Just curious, when did you tell?

Unfortunately, after a few chemical pregnancies, then I only told my mother at 8 weeks and waited until after 12 weeks to tell everyone else. I was too scared to tell everyone else before then in case it was tempting fate

I waited till is was about 13-14 weeks. Then I told everyone. I did this for both pregnancies.

We told immediate family the same day we found out, but with IVF, everyone knew our transfer date and the dates of our blood tests, so we shared right away. Congratulations!!

I told my fiance and father of the child basically as soon as I left the bathroom with the test. But for everyone else, I waited until I was about 8-10 weeks depending on how close they were to me. ๐Ÿฉท

I told one of my friends from work! I was so desperate to tell someone but didnโ€™t want to tell my family yet so I just told a friend

Told husband after 3 weeks and many test, and my family after 3 month

7 months in lol kept it a secret loved every second. Pregnancy flew in.

With my first it took 2 days for me to tell my partner then 2 weeks for a scan before telling anyone else. With my second I regret not just telling people it would've been so much more special than phoning them from outside the hospital when I thought I was losing him

I told my husband as soon as the positive test came up and then we told his parents the same day.

I told like my closest friends and my parents immediately and for my husband i prepared a surprise and told him 2 days after. He told his friends a few weeks after and his family when i was on my third trimester almost ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

1st time day of to my mom and sisters . Second time we waited over a month but it was ectopic . Third time I waited till the end of the first trimester after ultrasounds and blood work. I have a ton of relatives who still donโ€™t know tho

Avatar

For my first after a miscarriage we told our family at 6 weeks and then all of our friends at like 14 or 16 weeks. With our second we waited to tell everyone in person when I was like 4 or 5 months into it ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

I told around people 9-12weeks so it took me 4-8 weeks for me to let people know I found out I was pregnant at 5 weeks gestation

Avatar

with my first born: told immediate family virtually straight away (but in person, so it was probably within a week of that positive test), as well as work colleagues and my best friends. then announced on facebook at 12 weeks
with my second born: again, told immediate family virtually straight away when we saw them, as well as work colleagues and besties again, but we waited until 20 weeks (gender scan) before announcing on facebook, for no reason other than the excitement of keeping this secret! and wanting to announce pregnancy and gender at same time xx

I told my friends and family by 12 weeks. With my third I only told 3 of my friends and my husbands family until 6.5 months. It was great, will definitely be doing it again with my 4th lol

Avatar

told my bd immediately (he was there for the test), told my best friend like right after, told my coworkers like the day after, waited to tell my family until like 11-12 weeks (donโ€™t remember exactly) because they were in another state and i wanted it to be special, then after my family knew we told his family.

Avatar

After our first doctor appointment with our daughter and Iโ€™ll probably wait till 12 weeks when we have another

Avatar

1st time 5wks (found out at 3) but my parents knew that day. This time I told my parents and close friends and waited until 10 wks to tell his parents and his mom announced on fb which forced me to announce earlier than I wanted. I wanted to wait until 12 at LEAST bc itโ€™s gonna be our last and I wanted to enjoy it between us longer

Anxiety with the bump.

Iโ€™m 36 weeks pregnant and Iโ€™ve suddenly developed a massive anxiety around anyone standing behind me. My husband is annoying me so much because even though Iโ€™ve told him how it makes me feel, heโ€™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 ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿฅฒ

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 ๐Ÿ˜ญ
