When did you announce and how? - Parentberries

Publish date: 2024-08-23

I know ‘typical’ time to announce a pregnancy is the end of the first trimester. I am currently 3 weeks & 5 days pregnant. (from date of conception, not last period) I have told my two closest friends, one is a nurse and the other is a new mom. I figured even if I miscarry, I would want their support. My husband really wants to tell his parents, but I’d like to wait a little longer. My nurse friend says to to wait until at least 20 weeks, that seems so long! I would also like to send out actual paper pregnancy announcements before I announce on social media, does this seem too snooty?

My other questions are: When did you announce and to whom?
And why did you choose that time?
[name_m]How[/name_m] did you announce it?
What about social media?

Thanks very much! :smiley:

On a side note, I had an business aquaintance randomly ask when we were planning on having kids and seemed to have some secret knowledge that I was pregnant, like she was winking and trying to get me to tell her. Weird experience to say the least. I’ve read about this type experience in one of my baby books.
