When to tell your family?
When did you tell your family you were expecting? Any pros/cons to telling them before the first ultrasound? I would think telling them right away would give you a support system if there was a miscarriage, but I'm still not sure when to tell my family.
With my first i told them 4 days after i found out. I had been wanting a baby so bad i couldn't keep it secret! This one we are telling people in two weeks on the dad's birthday! I will be one day shy of 12 weeks.
I told my sister in law the day I got my positive (who was a close friend before she got with my brother) and told my brother this weekend. We are waiting til my 9 week ultrasound the 20th to announce to DH side of the family. Then will tell everyone else when I'm 20 weeks.
I told my family the day I got my positive blood test. I was 3 weeks 5 days. I didn't see the point in not telling them. It's their grand child too and even if something happened they still should get that time to celebrate whatever time they could get. And if something happened I would want that support system. I also told everyone else at 5 weeks and it's great having everyone at work know because they are more understanding to me being tired all the time. I also work in a research lab that works with kids with developmental delays so I knew they would be understanding anyway.
I am waiting until June to tell my family as this will be baby #3 and I want to make sure everything is going fine.
Pros: Lots of support and love.
Cons: If you only want to tell close family and wait until later to tell everyone else then someone may spill the beans before you do.
We told our close family and friends right away. Pro: it's amazing to have so much support. Con: be careful cause one of your parents (or more) won't understand even if you write it on their forehead that you're WAITING to announce and will tell whoever they please YOUR news. I was so angry with my dad lol. Still makes me heated. Miscarriages can happen but telling those who will be there for you is a great pro. The con to keeping it to yourself and something happening is feeling very alone.
Lol made my night...when you tell your OWN family you cant babysit their kid🤦🏻 ♀ 🤷🏻 ♀

Hello ladies! I had a miscarriage 4 months ago and just found out I’m pregnant again(yay!!!) but last time I told my family immediately and had to tell them all about the miscarriage. I’m just wondering when you ladies would suggest that I should tell them? Or have any stories of when y’all told them about your rainbow babies.

Snowwifey explained it perfectly. I'm now pregnant again with my hopeful rainbow baby and was glad I told my family for a support system for when we miscarried in February :( but so glad I had them behind me! And two best friends.
