We've told our parents, my 3 brothers and DH's 2 daughters but won't be telling anyone else till I've had my NT scan which will be 12 weeks.

We told our family straight away, who ended up telling quite a few people themselves. After that we just told people here and there (after the 13 week scan) but still haven't gotten to everyone

we HAD said that we wouldnt tell any one until i was 12 weeks as i had a previous miscarriage , this time i found out at 5 weeks, i told my mom that night and oh told his mom/dad brothers, nan grandad etc aswell...we had to go for an early scan and as i was so poorly so early on i told my area manager and managing director (was very risky as i had only been in my job 5 weeks also)!!!
luckily everything went fine, had a few more scans than normal due to problems but have managed to get to nearly 22 weeks now rather than the mc at 6.5 weeks before....
it is risky and worrying but some of us cant keep it inside we are so excited good luck to everyone!!

Told work the day I found out as I'd been interviewed and offered a new job and decided to decline I told my sister within an hour of testing and my parents that evening. Most people know now. I've had a couple of scans and I also think that if the worst happened, I'd need all the support I could get.

I've told very few people I'm so scared I'm going to lose it. However I was convinced I was infertile and unable to conceive at all... guess I was wrong there! I've never been lucky so I'm worried and OH doesnt want to know my worries which is getting to me at the moment. Sorry to rant... so far I've only told two collegues at work, I'm going to tell my boss tomorrow. Which I'm almost as scared about as telling my parents which I havnt done yet. I'm planning on telling them at 7 weeks I think. Who knows, I'm finding it hard to keep it to myself to be honest with you!!

I am not sure about this one tbh.

If I were pregnant now, apart from my immediate family, I think I would tell the girls that I work with as I would be worried about having another m/c again.

I personally couldn't keep it shut Told everyone straight away. But like some people have said.... if it would be difficult for you to tell everyone that something had happened ( God Forbid ), then only tell those people that you would want for support.......

I was pregnant in Nov and told my family, aunty, friends,and partners family but then miscarried at 6 1/2 weeks.. It was awful and to be honest i felt like a failure and having some people feel awkward and not knowing waht to say (couple of my mates and my fiances sister) i felt awkward too. to be honest everyone supported me for the first week or so then its just forgotten, not mentioned and i dealt with things myself apart from love of OH.
Had a scan on wends and so far so good saw babys heatbeat but im still very early days. this time just my mom knows and my fiancee. so want to tell my best friend but last time when i told her she told her family, her partner, little girl and another friend so know this may happen again and its such a secret i wouldnt want everyone to know just yet.
BUT my jeans are feeling tight lol....are urs? its my second was fine til about 16 weeks with my first!
anyway want to wait til 13 weeks or until i get my dating scan.. so lets hope i keep it zipped!
then im truly celebrating!
