I am 8 weeks and only our parents know till now. I feel like telling my close friends but also scared because it is still early. When did you announce to family and friends?
You can announce whenever you want, its your news. Many people wait till 12 weeks just because risk settles by then, but plenty announce at 8. Both times I told family early and friends later, totally your call.
Whenever your heart feels light and ready, thats the right time. We shared after our first scan and felt very peaceful about it. Stay positive and take good care, the rest falls into place.
This is personal so go gently with yourself. After my earlier loss I chose to wait till the first trimester passed before telling anyone beyond family, just to protect my heart. But if you feel ready at 8 weeks then absolutely share, theres no rule.
I felt so excited at 8 weeks I wanted to tell the whole world. We told close family early but waited a bit more for the big announcement till after the first scan. Theres no wrong time honestly, do what feels right to your heart.
Im at 9 weeks right now and also confused about when to tell people. We told only parents so far. Are you planning to share with everyone or just close ones? I feel like waiting till the scan but its so hard to keep quiet.
