My first pregnancy we told everyone right away. The next time around we are going to wait until the 2nd trimester, if we can, to tell people. It was so hard telling everyone that we miscarried only weeks after we said we were pregnant. If I am back up North, I wont be able to keep it from them though, I started showing at 5 weeks, thanks to me being so dang small.

How will you/did you handle telling people?

I really want to wait until at least I get the doctor's blood test or reach the 8 week mark for the same reason as you. However, if we find out we're pregnant when I test this week, I'll be seeing my WHOLE family for Christmas and we hardly ever see my brothers and their families, so it would be wonderful to be able to tell them in person if we find out. I'll probably just play it by ear if that happens, but if not, we'll really really try to wait until the 8 week mark, but I know it will kill me not to tell my mom!

I can't ever wait to tell anyone :D I am way too excited. Although I am sure my tune would change had I ever had to endure a miscarriage.

I'm waiting till 12wks to tell family with this baby. I told my boss and some co-workers already but that is because I dont want them asking me to do heavy lifting at work.
A couple friends know and my BIL knows (because he lives with us and figured it out LOL).

I have a long history of m/c so I dont want to spread the word until I'm in the "safe zone".
I waited till 20wks to tell anyone with DS and I told everyone immediately with DD though.

we told everyone right away, with number 1 and our miscarriage. Then when I got pregnant with our son I waited till i was 4 months along. telling everyone then having to tell everyone i miscarried was devastating so I waited till i was sure. With our third I waited till I was 3 months along.

I had a miscarriage before getting pregnant with this one and it was hard telling people that we lost the baby but it was wonderful to have their support. I didnt wait at all with this one we told everyone right away. I was too happy to spread my joy that I was going to be a mommy. I had to wait along time and its all I ever wanted. I hope that whatever you decide works for you and I wish you the best.

Ya I couldnt keep it in and had to tell everyone lol I cannot even tell you how hard it was not to tell my parents (I talk to them daily, sometimes several times a day), my in-laws, or my SIL. I told my brother the day after we found out. My friends knew we were trying so they were already asking lol My BIL said Thursday "when are you guy having kids?" and DH said "Aug 19th" LOL

We had planned on waiting until the 2nd trimester (besides our parents), but DH let it slip when I was 6 weeks at my son's bday party.

i told everyone after i had it confirmed at the drs. i was 8 weeks and i called my family right afterwards.

We'll wait until the first trimester is over.

We will wait til the first trimester is over or even longer. It was just too hard telling everyone we lost the baby last time.

I always told my mom right away but with #2 I waited until after the 1st trimester because I was worried about miscarrying again and that was soooo hard to tell people that I was pregnant and then tell them that I had a miscarriage.

With the boys I told people right away. With the baby we lost in February we told people right away and this time around I had a bit more reservation about telling people but I was far too excited not to just blurt it out! So with all pregnancies we've told people right away.

I'd wait until second trimester next time. I, too, had a miscarriage right after telling everyone. But, it worked out because all this happened right after my ex and I filed for divorce.
