When will you tell others that you are pregnant?

I told my mum and my sister the day after I did a pregnancy test and it was positive. I was four weeks pregnant then. I didn't tell my friends and other people that I was pregnant until the end of the first trimester. My neighbor noticed I was pregnant at 20 weeks and I kept it hidden until then. I had an upsetting time at 36 weeks pregnancy when I found out my baby boy has spina Bifida. He is now a happy little 15 month old with a bright smile. The time I felt most tired and sickly was at 9 weeks pregnancy, before the time I told most people that I was pregnant.

I didnt tell untill at least the 4th month and even then I only told my siblings and close friends. i had alot of complications all the way thru and didnt want 2 say anything just in case. Of course since I was so sick everyone knew anyway but they were too polite 2 say anything 2 my face:) Also I carried so small that some people didnt realize, like when we told a neighbor after I had the baby he said when wetre you pregnant??

I actually waited for a few days before telling others i was pregnant... but of course, i immediately told my husband... because we were both waiting for that to happen... other than for him... i wanted to keep the information to myself first... because i wanted to have a great secret... something that made me so happy... but i told others when i could'nt contain it anymore...

For my first it took us so long to get pregnant that for a while I didn't think it was real and I didn't want to tell anyone until I had an ultrasound. For my second we told everyone after the ultrasound also but the response that I got from alot of people wasn't want I expected and it made me feel down so after telling some I just told people tell who you want I dont' care. Everyone kept saying AGAIN but I was already 28 and didn't want to be pregnant while I was in my 30's. Even though we are still undecided if we should have another one and I am already 29 so I may be in my 30's for the next one. 2 is pretty hard not sure if I can handle 3 kids lol.

I would tell everyone right away that I'm pregnant! I consider it as blessing and also for people to be more considerate with me. i can ask for small favors with them hehehe. One should always feel happy and excited so the baby would turn out fine.

When I know that I'm pregnant I will tell my friends and colleagues. Some Chinese said that we can't tell till the baby is stable like after three months. But I don't really mind about it.

[i]Hi youless, When I will be pregnant, I am sure I will be announcing it to all of my relative and friends !lOL! I have know co-worker before who hide it because she wasn't married yet and she was not comfortable telling people about it, gradually, people notice her and that year, she got married![/i]

Good evening, youless. I think that others can still figure out even if you keep it as a secret because when it is time, all of the symptoms as a pregnant woman will eventually reveal. Of course, it will be more helpful for you to be more cared about by your family and colleagues if they know this. But what would you do if you accidentally got pregnant? Would you consider giving birth to the unexpected baby coming on the way or adopt abortion? It seems that many women adopts either way based on their own needs and situation. Nice discussing with you, youless. Good night.

Pregnancy is something you cannot hide since you're tummy will grow bigger but it does help telling other people about your condition so that they will be considerate. In my case, during my first pregnancy, I was not sure that I was pregnant because I experienced nidation, I thought I was having my normal menstruation which only lasted for two days but after two months not having heavy flow, I conducted selftest and then I went to an OB for validation.

I know a lot of people who don't tell that they are pregnant until after the 1st trimester. Most people hide it incase they miscarry and don't want to have to tell people. Me personally, I told everyone right from the beginning. If I miscarry then I miscarry. It's sad but it's the body's way of saying there is something wrong. I didn't tell people so that they would be more considerite to me, I was just too excited to hold it in. Plus because it was unplanned, I needed my friends by my side to support me in my decision to keep the baby. I'm the worst person at trying to keep things from people I love.

With my first child, I told people right away. I had been trying to get pregnant for some time when I got pregnant with him. However, with my second I kept it a secret from everyone but my husband and my boss for about 4 months because I was afraid to miscarry.
