Girl, as soon as u tell everyone, the unwanted `advice` comes pouring in, then u get confused easier...i.e.`don`t lift a gallon of milk, don`t reach over ur head, etc...` My advice, keep it on the down low as long as u want...make decisions 4 yourself..if u have ?`s about preg...ask the dr instead of friends..family..it will save u headace and confusion..:)

I have a big mouth, so I told pretty much everyone that would listen! My hubby didn`t agree with that, but I didn`t care :o)

i told my close family and 2 days later i lost the baby at 4 weeks 6 days. i got lots of support and unwanted advice the day i called them but no one bothered to check up on me anytime after that. so i would rather have not told them then to hear their opinions on that it was a good thing because THEY don`t think it was the right time for ME

im pregnant with my second child. with both of them, i found out at 5 weeks and told everyone the next day :) lol by everyone i mean family, close friends and my coworkers/bos etc who i am very close with. anybody we consider aquaintences we just waited until we ran into them somewhere

it depends, we tried to conceive for over 2 years, so when we found out we told everbody. we thought about what if i miscarry, but we thought we would be able to handle it seeing that i had a miscarriage before and told people. we feel we would be getting more support if it did happen than having to deal with it on our own.

i tried to wait, but couldnt go longer than an hr. lol.

i think you should wait just because things could go wrong just tell the fam and your close friends i didnt but i think i should have

If you miscarried, who would you end up telling? Tell those people that you`re pregnant before 12wks.

I personally belive in telling early to close family and friends because if something does go wrong, they had all the time to love your child. Later, they`ll be there for support. I wouldn`t tell the general public, just the most important people in your life, the ones always there for you.
