When to announce pregnancy

I’m pregnant, 7 weeks along. When is the right time to let others know? Is it too early?

Tell whoever you’re comfortable. If anything happens, it’s always nice to have a support group if need be.

As for public announcements, we waited until our anatomy scan for our first daughter. This time I’ll likely announce it mid second trimester.

I announced my pregnancy between 5-9 weeks to family and friends and 14 weeks to work and on social media.

I would choose to wait next time due to some peoples reactions, wanting for it to be just us who know for a little longer. Do better, more thought out announcements for some people etc

Not sure how long I would wait though as my kiddo may spill the beans lol

I waited until I was about 20 weeks - due to a miscarriage at the end of last year. I think its a very individual decision and there is no right or wrong time

12 weeks til due date and omg panic has set in 😳

To think we have 6 weeks of the summer holiday then at the end of the 6 weeks, we have only 6 weeks left is crazy! The first 10 weeks of my pregnancy went so quickly so it feels like those last 12 weeks are gonna go fast!! I haven’t even got anything yet apart from the odd bits of clothing and my first’s neural clothes from when she was a baby!

Gestation

Interested to know what gestation you had your first baby, if you’re not a FTM! Or, if you have already had your baby! 😘

First timer

Hey everyone. I’m in my 30s, abroad in Germany, just got married, and 9 weeks pregnant with my first.

Honestly this first trimester has been a lot for me. Early scares, anxiety through the roof, barely eating, doing most of it solo while my husband is on missions or emotionally unavailable. Finally got a strong heartbeat confirmed last week 😮‍💨

Just looking for my people. Other first time moms, military moms, anyone who’s navigating the reality of pregnancy abroad.

Pregnancy pillows

Hello, can anyone recommend a good pregnancy pillow? It’s one to lie back on when I’m in bed. I’m so sick of all the big pillows I have in bed that take ages to set up and are not comfy x
