We told our parents at 5 weeks, grandparents/siblings/close friends at 8 (after our first doctor's appointment), my boss at 10, and everyone else/facebook at 12. I *wanted* to tell everyone immediately, as it's a hard secret to keep - but I'm glad I waited to make sure everything was okay!

We told parents & siblings at 8 weeks. Then we told everyone else (friends, grandparents, coworkers) at 11 weeks when we got a sonogram.

I told my parents, sister, and a few close friends when we found out. Told everyone else around 12 weeks after the u/s so we knew everything was good!

My husband told his family the second I came out of the bathroom with a positive test even though I asked him not to. He did the same with some friends even though I asked him not to. I told my family parents/grandparents/siblings after my 1st appt so around 9 weeks. However I was a chicken and did not tell my work till 26 weeks. Do not wait that long I would do it no later than between 12-16 weeks. I am paying for it now that I did not tell them sooner. I work with all men and we are a small company and all of their feelings are hurt that I did not tell him sooner.

To tell people you were pregnant? Family, friends, co-workers/boss?

I just found out yesterday we are expected our 1st child! I want to tell the world but of course I won't just yet
I had to tell a few of my closest friends, but I'm wondering how long everyone waited to tell others??

Congratulations!

It will be two weeks this coming Sunday since we found out, but so far only my husband and I (of course) know. I would have told my sister, since she and I are super close, but I literally have not seen her in person, which is really unusual for us. We usually do a Spin class together on Saturdays, but the past couple of weeks she has had schedule conflicts. I was expecting to tell her this Saturday while we drive down to it, but she just texted me that he husband's tennis tournament scheduling precludes her from going So I may just end up telling her over the phone if I don't see her in person for some other reason. It's killing me that I haven't told her.

Otherwise we plan to tell other family members after the first doctor's appointment, at which point I will be 7.5 weeks pregnant (October 9th). We will see some of my in-laws the following weekend and more of them at a party the next weekend, and so I don't want to have a secret from them (nor do I want them to question why I'm not drinking). Though my MIL has a big mouth and will probably blab about it to others at the party (whom I don't want knowing). However my husband may be able to drill it in her head that they are NOT to say a word about it. Plus the party is for my niece's first birthday, which should be about her anyway.

Facebook announcement will probably be at the beginning of the second trimester, depending on whether or not I'm starting to show. Reason being, I will be tired of hiding it from non-family people whom I see in person (who are also on Facebook) and will appreciate being able to be open about it.

My husband and I own our own business, so telling the boss isn't a problem - however, we intend to tell our two staff members just before our first doctor's appointment so that we can both go without raising any eyebrows. They're two women who are dying for us to have another baby, so I would bet they already know based on the fact that it's been over a month since I put feminine product wrappers in the bathroom trash can.

ETA that I'm terribly verbose, and I'm sorry. I am stressing a bit about sharing the news, in case you can't tell.
