When did you tell friends/family that you were pregnant?

The first person I told was my best friend, and thats when I found out. My parents, siblings, and my aunt's family next door to us were told when I was 3 months pregnant. The rest of my family found out when I was 7 months, I was pretty small so no one really noticed and I didn't really want them to know since it wasn't a proud time in my life. My family wondered why I didn't tell them sooner and told them that they tend to judge people so I didn't feel like being judged at that time. But everything turned out well after that, I live with my boyfriend now, and have a wonderful 20 month old boy, I don't think I could be happier.

I told as soon as the line turned pink hehe. We already have a two year old daughter and had just gotten married so they knew we were trying for a second. Preferrably a boy but its another girl. Is this your first? Congrats! I am due April 19th.

I only have 1 child (so far) I didn know I was pregnant untill about 8 weeks (I hardly ever got a period so been late ment nothing to me) Anyway I told my parents about 1 week later (I was engaged to my now husband at the time and he was in Europe me in Australia I just got back from Europe) The rest of my friends found out when I was about 3 months and I left for Europe so my parents told everyone else when that was I have no idea. But over there I left it till I was big enough to show and then people just knew I was pregnant (why bother telling them right when they have eyes to see) but that was for people that dont mean a lot to me. With my grandmother she was 81 then I got the baby stuff out and she walked into my room and she said : what are you doing with all these baby things and then she realised and started crying.

I waited until after the first trimester with my first child. I am 5 weeks pregnant right now and will probably do the same. It gets harder when you see family once a month!

I was 6 weeks pregnant when i told my close friends and family and 14 weeks when i told everyone at work. You tell everyone when your ready to. You need to sort your own feelings out and get used to the fact that you've got a little one inside you first before you have to deal with everybody else's feelings. Your friends and family should be too busy getting excited to be thinking about being upset or angry.

I told my family as soon as I found out friends a few days later simply because I was so excited. While i was concerned about the first 12 weeks and possibly losing the baby I felt I would be better off my friends knowing and being there for me in that situation rather than not having told anyone and going through it alone. As we were told from 8 weeks with my second daughter we could lose her at any stage of the pregnany I was greatful people knew about her the support they gave was amazing due to them knowing the full facts.

We were too happy and excited to keep it a secret. When I was able to confirm with a OB Gynecologist that I was indeed pregnant as I suspected I was, I started calling my family as soon as I got out of the clinic! :D For my second pregnancy, it was the same. I had to wait for the confirmation until I spread out the good news. :)

With my first child we waited until about 12 weeks, I got an ultrasound that said everything was great. I have a 12 yr old stepdaughter, which at the time was 9, that we didn't want to tell and then have a miscarriage. With my second one though we told right away. I can understand you waiting though and I don't see anything wrong with it at all.

I've generally told the family as soon as I found out Though I understand that some choose not to as they want to get past the 'danger period' of the first 12 weeks when there is a greater risk of miscarriage before telling anyone.
