   If i was pregnant i would announce it to them as soon as i found out. I personally think five or six months is to late because by that time most of them have already figured it out. Hope i helped.

   There’s not a protocol about that but i will say that during the second or third month will be ok.

   Wow 5 or 6 months is a long time to wait. I think most people do i a lot sooner.

   I couldn’t contain myself… at 4 weeks it seems I told the world. Although the smartest idea is to wait about 3 months, until you are out of your first trimester (miscarriages are quite common in the first trimester). Congratulations!

   Its just a personal decision. Some tell as soon as they find out. Others wait until after the first trimester, after the probability of miscarriage is reduced. If you wait until 6 months, people are going to start figuring it out on their own!

   I planned on waiting until the end of my first trimester so the risk of miscarriage would be reduced significantly.
   Howeverrrr, my mother found out early as mothers tend to do…=p

   5 or 6 months? That seems like a long time, plus you’ll be showing way before then!

   A lot of people wait until 3 months, after the 1st trimester. However, I told my mom and sister and best friend the day I found out!! I was too excited!

   I have always heard 10 weeks still not too far away and your in the clear well…. for the most part…. of miscarriages…although they can still happen… they are most likely to happen within the first 10 weeks

    I told just about the whole world as soon as i found out i was pregnant. I was 2 weeks pregnant. My husband and i had been trying for 2 years so it was very exciting when i finally became pregnant. I heard some people wait till there past 12 weeks when miscarriage risks are really low.

    Seriously? Straight away lol, I couldn’t contain myself and blabbed to my closest friends and family, but don’t tell not so close friends etc until I get to 4 months along, so I know it’s going to stay then we tell everyone, but ironically we don’t really get that chance as most already ask weeks ahead of that as I show pretty much straight away and I won’t lie if I’m asked I will tell the truth and just explain we didn’t say anything first as I was still in the danger zone for me (due to high risk with past m/c’s)

    It’s a very personal decision that you have to make when it comes to sharing the news.

    I told anyone and everyone right away, all four pregnancies
    I couldn’t help it.

    The first few days after finding out, it was just on my mind SOOO much that I almost felt deceitful if I didn’t mention it while talking to people. Especially since some of them could tell something was up with me, and starting asking what it was!

    Excitement is contagious.

    I have been blessed tremendously.
