Im 8 weeks and so excited but also nervous to tell people too soon. Family is pushing to announce already. When did u all share the news, after which week?
I had such horrible morning sickness that we had to tell my immediate family and office boss by week 7 itself! Sometimes practically you just need the extra help and support early on.
Our doctor at the hospital advised us that after the first-trimester screening at 12 weeks, it is generally the safest time to share the news. It gave us a lot of peace of mind to wait.
Because of my past loss, we were very cautious and chose to wait until the 12-week NT scan was completely normal before telling anyone except parents. Take your time, there is absolutely no rush to share the news.
I understand the anxiety around sharing this news. We only told our parents initially because I was too scared of something going wrong. Do it when you feel mentally ready and secure.
We told close family immediately so they could help with ghar ka kaam. For relatives and friends, we waited till the 3rd month scan. It's simple and avoids too many unnecessary phone calls early on.
Hey! Honestly, it is completely up to you and your husband. Most people wait till the 12-week scan is done just to be safe. But don't stress too much about 'nazar', do whatever makes you feel comfortable!
My pregnancy tracker app suggested waiting until the end of the first trimester because the risk of complications drops significantly by week 12. We followed that and told friends only in week 13.
