[quote=Anonymous]First pregnancy I told my mom around 5 weeks; it was her birthday. She was happy, but a little annoyed when I asked her to keep the news quiet for a few weeks. She wanted to share the news with everyone right away. I think my husband told his parents around 7 weeks, and we shared more widely at around 9 or 10 weeks. Then at 17 weeks we had a prenatal diagnosis, and that was hard. I was glad I had family to lean on for support, but sharing that news repeatedly with others was hell. Second pregnancy we told parents around 10 weeks. Shared with siblings and close friends at around 14 weeks, after all the tests and ultrasounds had come back okay. Didn’t tell acquaintances or coworkers until about 20 weeks when it was hard to hide anymore. Tell people you would want to support you if something were to go wrong, and wait as long as possible to tell everyone else.[/quote]
