When did you announce your pregnancy?

Hey ladies!  We just found out that we are expecting baby #2!  Our first is 13 months old.  I want to know when you told your family about the baby. We waited with our first since we had been TTC for 2 years. The hubby wants to tell people right now. And I want to tell but am hesitant. I want to at least have our ultrasound first. That will be in 3 weeks.  Currently we are about 6 wks pregnant.

Stuck DD in a Big Sister shirt and took her over to the grandparents house. 

ETA: Der. That was the how. When? Pretty much as soon as we found out. This was a surprise and I was a little over 5 weeks before it dawned on me that my period was late.

We just told our parents last weekend (just under 5 weeks) but are going to at least wait until our first u/s to tell anyone else.

I've told my two BFF's, but that's it.

We're waiting until after my first appt and u/s to tell anyone else, per DH's request. I'll be 11 weeks by then. We'll tell our parents first and then do a FB announcement for everyone else.

We told parents right away. We waited until 11 weeks to tell everyone else. We miscarried just 2 months before at 8 weeks (thankfully still hadn't told anyone except parents). We wanted to be sure we were holding on to this little one before announcing.

I've told friends already but i'm waiting until week 11 or 12 to tell my family. (that's b/c I know my friends would be supportive but my family wouldn't)

Holly I'm in the same situation. DD is 12 months old, and we just found out about baby #2! I'm a pretty private person, so I want to wait until the first u/s to make sure it's all good, but hubby is anxious to tell everyone. I'm torn! We'll probably wait a couple more weeks, until at least 8-9.

My rule of thumb has always been when you see the heartbeat. The mc rate goes down to 5 after that. We saw ours today at 5wks 5days,so we are telling immediate family.

We told our family and few close friends around 6 weeks, but told them to keep it hush hush and explained why (if we had a MC we'd only want the support of family and friends, mainly because it's our first and we wouldn't know how to...handle it...) Then we told the world at 12-13 weeks.

We pretty much told the world as soon as I got a BFP with DS. We did not tell anyone about the last pg that we lost, we told our parents after. This one I would like to wait until the end of first tri.

With DS, we each told a couple close friends almost right away. We didn't tell anyone else until we had our first u/s and saw a hb and healthy baby. With this one, I told a couple close friends right away. We told family at Christmas by putting DS in a Big Brother tee and seeing how long it took everyone to notice. We had an appointment to see the doctor and have our u/s that next week, so we told them that they had to be quiet. We have been telling friends as we see them since seeing baby and hb on u/s. We will tell everyone after my 12week appointment next week, provided everything is still good.

We told immediate family and very close friends right away.  While I was busy doing my victory dance (we were trying for a year to the day exactly when we got the BFP) DH was on the phone calling our families.

One we hear the heart beat at my first appointment we will tell everyone else.

We will share with my in laws and our close friends once we've heard a heartbeat, and we will go public closer to 2nd trimester.
