Told only super close people when I found out at 7 weeks. Then gradually people guessed when I went for events around 8-11 weeks 😅 Made public announcement at 12 weeks (after 1st trimester). But IMO, just do what makes you comfortable and happy. 🤗 Congrats on your little one!

Hello! just found out I’m pregnant but i informed my boss immediately as I’m requesting to WFH for a few months. Previously had 1 miscarriage so afraid. Parents side haven inform, might inform husband side first as parents know what can and what not to eat etc.

I never announce but I gave very obvious hints to people around me that I can't drink anymore. At 6 weeks, all my family alrd know even my close friends. I am not superstitious and I feel as long as I'm happy it doesn't affect me at all with any announcement.

Unless work environment wise requires, I personally prefer to only share with parents (in-laws) & closest friends after 1st trimester, as others could be struggling to conceive too. The rest of relatives or friends - won’t intentionally announce to them..

I told my manager. My parents. Brother. Parents in law all at 4weeks when I tested with test kit Then my close friends at week 6 Admitted to those that found me weird from week 6 Then now just pass week 12 and i made it public already with the gender

I was quite superstitious last time but bcos of that I had 2 miscarriage due to work stress and didn’t rest well. I hinted my boss as soon as I found out I am BFP, she got the hint immediately and dare not ask more questions. With merely an OK!

My first baby I super superstitious so I only said it after like 13weeks to my friends, coworker and bosses. But my sisters know about it at probably 8 week. Then my second baby, less than 6 weeks I told everyone already hahahaha.

Only annouced mine when I was going into my fifth month. Depends, I only told close friends and relatives. I don't tell people who are trying to conceive so that I wouldn't make them feel bad.

told my sister the moment I found out, my parents and parents in law and some very close friends at around 11 weeks.. :) I think most people prefer to announce after 13 weeks at least.

i announced to my bff and family once i tested positive and told my boss a few days later. for my husband side and extended family we are planning to do it after 12weeks.
