I told my mum/mil/ brother & sil's and bil's and no-one else until I was about 20+ weeks or until someone asked was I when they saw the bump

Up to you hun, whatever you feel comfy with.

Good luck with the scan tomorrow, you'll update asap

I'll look out for it tomorrow

We have decided to wait until our 12 week scan to tall everyone. Immediate family know but thats it, oh and my boss at work due to us having a m/c in May I wanted her to be fully aware I was pregnant in case anything happened.

It was actually really nice having bub being 'our secret'.

Then told a few close friends, but wierdly I have not gone public at work, despite my obvious bump!! I think I'm just super protective of bub and still worried I'll 'jinx' things if everyone knows!

It's hard when you're very excited though and want to shout it from the rooftops!!!!!

IM not even worried about telling my uni friends (and its easy as i wont see them to the end of september). I have a few other friends but i only see them once in a while now we all have grown up so all them can wait to 12 weeks.

I think i juts want to tell all my family(mil, fil and my mum know) eg sister, bro, granny, and all my oh and my aunties and uncles etc.

If i see a heartbeat then i think i will but if theres just a baby and no heartbeat then i dont know

Heres was my son at 6wk 5 day

he had no heartbeat but at my 12 weeks scan i was actully put forward a few days( so really he was over 7 weeks b4 a heartbeat was seen).

I dont even know how far on i am as they think im earlier so probably not much chance of seeing a heartbeat

We told everyone (apart from work) as soon as we got our BFP. Can't keep a secret, me.

I'm not supersticious at all, and don't believe that I'll jinx anything if I tell. In my opinion, if I mc'd and lost the baby, I would like friends and family to know. We didn't tell anyone we were trying for another (apart from close friends), and was constantly stuck in that horrid situation when people would ask if we would have any more kids, and we would have to say "hmm, not sure" or something like that. I'd hate it if we lose this one and then a couple of days later, get the same question.

My opinion, but I think tell everyone as soon as you know.
